Karel Arzt

My name is Karel Arzt. I am married to Daniëlla and together we have 3 children and 4 grandchildren. I was born in Kerkrade and I live in Heerlen.

My career began in 1973 with the municipality of Kerkrade. I was then assigned to the then municipal police. I worked for the police for over 35 years and then transferred to the municipality of Heerlen. At that time, more than 10 years ago now, I also became BABS for that municipality.

So I have been able to perform many marriages and registered partnerships.
Since June 15 of 2022 I have also been appointed as BABS for the municipality of Kerkrade.

My motivation to officiate weddings is in 1st instance the contact with happy people, who still want to make something beautiful out of the rest of their lives. I then become happy with the small contribution I can make to this.

I am someone, who in an informal way, guides you through this beautiful day. I always say "it's your day and it has to be right". That means that I adapt to your wishes and requests. It's not about me, it's about you.

I hear back from people that I have a warm voice and humor.
