Eric DOCHIER

The course of life

Life brought me on various roads that enriched my experience and gave me many fields of expertise.
After a Master's in English-American Literature, I worked 15 years in finance while integrating the Conservatory of Music and Singing of West Provence. Having become a gospel choirmaster and opera singer, I trained at the School of Relational Sophrology in Avignon. I then created and directed for 9 years a restaurant-concert hall.

These different experiences have made me a person used to listening, guiding and speaking in public. My deep nature is that of an original communicator attentive to others.

These qualities added to the certification obtained from the International Wedding Institute allow me today to offer you skills that will meet your expectations.

So I put my voice, my creativity, my energy and my talents at your service to make your wedding unforgettable.

Style

From the first wedding that I celebrated, I became aware of the privilege and the happiness that it was for me each time to accompany the bride and groom in the choice of songs and texts at each stage of their ceremony as they envisage it.

Aware that singing mixed with speaking raises the message far beyond words, I propose to celebrate your union with my spoken and sung voice to bring your dream ceremony to life.

Spokesperson for your love, I will create a celebration in your image by giving your loved ones a place at your side and tell your story with authenticity, sincerity and humor.

Experience and training

As the conductor of your wedding ceremony, I'll see to the smooth running and fluidity of your ceremony. As a creative person , I will write your bespoke ceremony in agreement with you.

• to build the process and give it life,
• to ensure the establishment of an authentic, rhythmic and precise scenario,

Assistance in the preparation of the ceremony

As a certified officiant, I am the conductor of the success of your ceremony. As a professional, I will bring a huge added-value on the quality of the text and the celebration on your wedding-day. Not to mention my experience and the advice that I will give you.

Indeed, the preparation of a secular ceremony is a complex, long and very demanding task. That is why I offer you a tailor-made accompaniment to create a unique and top-quality secular ceremony.

In order for you to have a quality celebration, I will create quality content.

As an experienced professional, I will guide you through the details of your ceremony. It is indeed very important to pay particular attention to the layout of the place, the installation of the guests and their well-being, the sound system, the placement of the bride and groom and the guest speakers. The list is long, but these practical points, logistics and scenography prepared upstream are the key to a wedding ceremony that will meet your expectations.

Rituals
The secular ceremony celebrates the union of a couple, the change of status from a single person to married and an important life stage. And in this context, the rite has its place because the symbolic ritual is primarily a question of meaning.

The important thing is that your ritual must be meaningful to you and allow you to express your feelings and commitment with accuracy.

You can choose a rather traditional ritual or a more original one, but also opt for a collective ritual involving relatives or all guests or a family ritual with your children.

Songs Since the dawn of time, the rites of passage are accompanied by singing. Together, we will choose which style is yours : classic, gospel, pop or movie song.

The song will give rhythm to your ceremony, accompany you in important moments and bring more solemnity, light, joy and love.

Writing texts

I will write your ceremony entirely from scratch.

As a messenger of your couple, I will find with you the right tone to make your ceremony the perfect reflection of the love you share.

I will help the bride and groom write their vows as well as the guest speakers to build their speeches.

I am reachable by phone, email and Skype.

Proposition of readings and music

My repertoire ranges from liturgical and lyric songs to pop, including negro spiritual and gospel.
