Stiftundworte

Stift + Worte is the personal speaking and writing service of Nicola Bienert, who creates and delivers free funeral and wedding speeches in Dresden and the surrounding area. Her work is grounded in attentive listening and a belief that important moments deserve words that feel true to the people involved. Rather than relying on templates, grand gestures or generic phrases, Nicola takes time to understand each person’s story, relationships and character through conversations and shared memories.

For funerals, she writes warm, honest tributes that honour the person as they were, without idealising or smoothing away complexity. Her approach makes room for the full range of feelings that can accompany a farewell, including love, gratitude, anger, emptiness and relief. For weddings, she crafts personal speeches that reflect a couple’s shared history, everyday life, humour and connection, creating a ceremony moment that feels recognisably theirs.

Nicola guides clients through an unhurried process, from first contact and conversation to writing and speaking at the event.
