This wedding officiant is temporarily unavailable.

You are getting married, registering your partnership or converting?

How incredibly fun!

I am Karin Barendrecht from Hellevoetsluis, working as a Babs for several years now, married since 1980 and mother of three grown up sons.

Rubbing my hands, I am ready to express your story in a joyful, humorous and often touching ceremony, involving everyone as much as possible.

But above all, a ceremony entirely to your liking!

I listen carefully to your stories and write a perfectly packaged speech, where there is always room, for your own input and/or speakers.

A speech, which hopefully you will think back on with a very big smile, and, of which afterwards you will say: this fitted exactly with us, this was us!

As a Babs, I am involved in your wedding day with skin and hair.

It's a short process; I'm just a passerby who gets to express your love and make it official. But I find it a treat every time!

Civil Status Officer, the most fun profession in the world!
