BEHIND THE CELEBRATION
Giving a moment its meaning.
A destination wedding brings together people, places and cultures. At its heart is a ceremony in which two people share a decision with those closest to them. In this upcoming conversation, Christian Carballo joins Natacha Bitsch to explore what makes that moment feel real.
Christian shares his journey from hospitality to officiating and the place that passion and communication hold in his work. The discussion considers the relationship between the couple, the officiant and the guests: how words and emotion can bring everyone into the same experience.
