Guest Blog: Make Your Wedding on Bonaire Personal and Unforgettable with Officiant Gerjanne

Congratulations, Lovebirds!

You’re engaged and dreaming of a peaceful, intimate wedding in paradise. Picture this: soft sand between your toes, a gentle breeze through your hair, and the sound of waves crashing on a secluded beach. This is the kind of destination wedding Bonaire offers—a serene, romantic experience surrounded by nature, perfect for celebrating your unique love story. I’m Gerjanne, an independent officiant on Bonaire, and I’m here to help you create a personal and unforgettable ceremony!

A Personal Touch for Your Intimate Wedding

Each couple is unique, and your wedding ceremony should be too. I dedicate time to understand who you are as a couple and the journey that brought you here. Whether you’re looking for an intimate elopement or a small gathering with your closest loved ones, I’ll ensure your ceremony is tailored to reflect your personal love story.

I offer video calls and thoughtful questionnaires to get to know you better, no matter where you’re located. This allows us to create a ceremony that truly speaks to you, whether it’s relaxed and simple or meaningful and romantic. You’ll have my full attention as I only perform a limited number of weddings.

Say “I Do” Again with a Renewal of Vows on Bonaire

Whether you’re celebrating an anniversary or simply want to reaffirm your love for one another, a renewal of vows ceremony on Bonaire is a beautiful way to celebrate. It’s perfect for couples who want a personal, intimate ceremony without the pressure of a big wedding day. I create vow renewal ceremonies that honor everything you’ve experienced together and allow you to celebrate your love in a serene, natural setting.

Love is Love

I believe love knows no boundaries—gender, background, or tradition should never get in the way. Whether you want to include special rituals or create something entirely unique, I’m here to make sure your ceremony reflects your love and your values. Let’s work together to create something truly special and meaningful.

About Me

I’ve lived on Bonaire since 2015. I grew up in the Netherlands. With a background in cultural anthropology and communication, I love connecting with people and bringing their unique stories to life. Besides my work as an independent wedding officiant on Bonaire, I also teach yoga and Pilates and work as a consultant for the government. Together with my husband and dog, Bonaire has become my home, and I can’t wait to make it the backdrop for your unforgettable wedding.
