Hi!
My name is Nikolai Kohler and I am a wedding speaker.
I am 38 years old and live in the beautiful town, where Mercedes and Porsche come from: Stuttgart, Germany.
Although I have been a public speaker for almost 20 years, there is no-one who has taught me more about good communication than my three kids.
Already while studying theology I worked as a pastor and spent most Sundays on stage in front of hundreds of people giving talks.
After finishing my Ph.D., I became more and more involved in the weddings business.
In the last 8 years I have officiated dozens of weddings in front of thousands of people in many different countries.
I truly love public speaking. It has always been my passion and I believe that it is one of the most wonderful and rewarding gifts to master.
Besides public speaking I love barefoot shoes, horses, surfing, Vivaldi, Kendrick Lamar, Wing Tsun, Bitcoin, snowboarding, Andrea Pirlo, a delicious green Thai curry, marathon-running and of the course the best soccer club in the world: VfB Stuttgart.
