How to book the location for free weddings
- Get in touch with us: By e-mail, telephone or contact form
- We clarify the key points and options in an initial telephone consultation lasting around 20 minutes.
- You visit the location and we show you around Dock10.
- We will advise you once again in detail and plan together how your free wedding ceremony can be realized according to your ideas.
Even after the detailed consultation, we are of course available before and during the wedding to answer any questions or concerns you may have. If required, the consultation and viewing can be combined. We will plan the schedule according to your wishes. However, it is important to allow for possible conversion times. For example, it is possible to have the wedding ceremony in the upper area and then hold a reception in the lower area or plan a photo shoot in the surrounding area. We can then use the time to convert the sun deck for a subsequent meal. It may also be possible, depending on the weather or otherwise, for the meal to take place in the function room so that the terrace does not need to be converted. Another option is to hold the wedding ceremony and dinner on the terrace with the same seating arrangement.
Directions to the location
In an urban location in the midst of the industrial charm between the Spree and Rummelsburg Bay, the harbor is home to the permanently moored Dock 10, a former youth ship.
It is easy to reach on foot along the beautiful promenade of Rummelsburger Bucht from Rummelsburg S-Bahn station. Alternatively, take streetcar 21 in the direction of S Schöneweide to the Gustav-Holzmann-Straße stop.
Alternatively, you can use our own jetty, for example if you arrive on one of the capital’s rafts.
You will find parking spaces either directly in Gustav-Holzmann-Straße or in the residential area of the adjacent Kosanke housing estate. Unfortunately, we do not have our own parking spaces.
Possible rituals for your wedding ceremony
In a free wedding ceremony, you have the wonderful opportunity to incorporate various symbolic rituals to highlight your love and commitment to each other in a very special way. These symbolic rituals add profound meaning to your ceremony and create a unique atmosphere. In the following, we would like to introduce you to some popular types of symbolic acts at free wedding ceremonies:
1. sand ceremony: In the sand ceremony, you and your partner each take sand in different colors and pour it into a container together. This metaphorically represents the merging of two lives into one. The resulting mixed sand symbolizes your bond and can be kept as a keepsake.
2nd candle ritual: In the candle ritual, you and your partner each light your own candle and use it to light a central, larger candle together. This symbolizes coming together and the creation of a new family bond.
3. exchange of rings: The exchange of rings is a significant symbol of your marriage. You can emphasize this moment and express the significance of the rings and the promise they represent in a speech.
4. handfasting: Handfasting is a centuries-old tradition in which your hands are symbolically joined with a ribbon or cloth. This gesture symbolizes the bond you two are making and the promise you are making to each other.
5. wine tying: As part of a wine commitment, you each bring a bottle of wine that is opened and poured together during the ceremony. This symbolizes the coming together of two individual personalities into one harmonious unit.
These are just a few examples of symbolic acts at free wedding ceremonies. You also have the freedom to develop your own rituals that reflect your personal history and values. In collaboration with your wedding officiant, you can explore the different options and choose the ones that best suit you and your partner. These symbolic elements will make your ceremony an unforgettable and meaningful event.
