This is a small section of the Website of a wedding planner. I'm not really sure what it is saying exactly, so I'm having trouble conveying the exact meaning. Of course I understand all the words, but the meaning behind the sentence is eluding me...

Thanks for your help!

Tying the knot?

Explanation:
A couple of ideas that spring to mind:

Tying the knot? Let us give you a hand.
Let us walk you down the aisle.
Anyone for marriage?

Or maybe something like:
You tie the knot - we take care of the rest.
You walk down the aisle - we do the rest.

Grading comment

Ok, I selected this one to close the question, although all the answers were very helpful! In the end I used "Let us walk you down the aisle", which I thought fitted with the whole tone of the Website. Thanks to all though!

5 mins confidence:

es darf geheiratet werden... You should be able to get married no matter what!

Explanation:
If I'm not mistaken, it's saying that you should be able to get married no matter what, that is, that no perceived obstacles should keep you from doing so - which of course this company is going to help you with. You want a traditional Japanese wedding in Germany? No problem, they'll do it! You want mariachis in your wedding because you're Mexican? Same thing. And so on.

I'm sure there's a catchier way of saying it that someone will offer soon, but I just wanted to explain the meaning of the phrase (as I understand it), sinceyou seem to be more concerned about that :)

I thought of - Get married, come hell or high water! or something along those lines, but it sounds a bit too aggressive (or maybe too Romeo and Juliet) for the type of business.

I think I read a bit too much into the text following your phrase....like I said in my comment to Brigitte's answer, I think her second option is really nice for the particular target market.

es darf geheiratet werden... Let's get married!

Explanation:
Short but sweet, used as a song title, movie title and on and on. Plus, it can bring across the fun aspects and with "Let's" shows that the company and the couple form a group.....

Loads of options here!
"es darf geheiratet werden..." is the actual heading/intro, right?

What a coincidence - I only just saw that Thomas also suggested "walk down the aisle"!
