Words for the moments that change us.

I’m Ximena Paula Barbano—an international wedding celebrant, bestselling author, keynote speaker, and event host.

I love hearing what people don’t usually put into words: what they dream of, who they love, and what makes them laugh. My favourite moment? When laughter turns into tears—and back again. That’s a moment I’m always grateful to share.

Based in Dubai. Available worldwide.

01 / Your ceremony

Weddings

At weddings, I tell your love story: how you found each other, the little things only you understand, and the people who helped you become who you are. There’s room for tenderness, laughter, and a few happy tears.

Keynotes & Hosting

On stage, as a speaker or event host, my greatest passion is people. What moves us, what motivates us, and how we grow and change throughout our lives. I’m fascinated by who we are today—and who we might become.

A little about me

People are my passion.

Born in Argentina, raised in Germany, and based in Dubai, I work across countries, cultures, and four languages: DE · ES · EN · IT.

I’m a psychologist, bestselling author, and creator of The Polymath Principle.

What connects them is my interest in people. How we think, what we feel, what makes us laugh, and how we change.
