Above and Beyond!!

Words cannot describe how incredible or perfect our wedding was - especially our ceremony. It was truly tailored to us as a couple and encompassed our entire relationship. I am so grateful to Dani for taking the time to speak with us in the months leading up to the wedding and really learning about us as a couple. She incorporated our personal family traditions, and our quirks, into the most perfect ceremony. We had people come up to us after who believed Dani was our best friend or had known us for years!! That's how good she is. Dani never felt like a stranger, she always felt like family. We could not be happier with how our ceremony went. Thank you again!!!

Wonderful Wedding in Central Park

Dani from Once Upon A Vow was absolutely fantastic to work with on our wedding ceremony. We were having an elopement wedding from the UK to New York, Central Park so Dani’s communication was very important and she was excellent with sending us helpful and proactive emails in advance and throughout the process. We also had a helpful and fun video call to talk through our love story and relationship. Dani was really lovely, friendly, kind, inclusive, upbeat and fun! We felt so comfortable talking to her and knew she was going to be just perfect for officiating our special day. Our ceremony was at the peak of a heat wave in the middle of Central Park and Dani was so professional and read such a thoughtful, personal monologue about what is important to us and special about each other. It was beautiful! We had a lot of options and choices for the ceremony which made it feel really personal to us. We can’t thank Dani enough for such a wonderful start to our married life!

Once Upon A Vow Exceeded Our Expectations.

My partner and I already planned a bigger wedding in Las Vegas since I will be moving to Las Vegas to join my partner. However, I’ve always adored NYC.
I wanted to have something of treasure from NY state that will always be a part of me in addition to my academic degrees. So, having our marriage certificate would just be an icing on the cake and very important to me. But the problem, getting a wedding date with the NYC city clerk was impossible for our desired date.

This was how I was referred to Once Upon A Vow!
Working with this business to make our wedding ceremony so magical was one of the best decision we ever made. Dani who is our officiant, literally took away all the stress. Dani is very professional, communicative, resourceful, committed to giving the best wedding experience and always willing to give her expert opinions, all at an affordable fee.

It's safe to say Once Upon A Vow exceeded my expectations, and I highly, highly, and highly recommend Once Upon A Vow.

The only officiants you will ever want for your wedding! Karla was in one word - incredible!

Karla got the best out of us, asking us the perfect questions to bring out our true love story and build genuine connection. The time taken to get to know us, our love story and to so perfectly put the ceremony together to capture these moments, the wider context of our love in today's society and to bring out the genuine joy of the day, made it a truly special moment for us and our families.

We cannot recommend them enough to people looking for a genuine, heartfelt ceremony. There statement on their website sums it up perfectly, "crafting personalized wedding ceremonies that reflect your unique love story."

Thank you again for making our day so truly incredible!

Dani is in.cred.i.ble.

Dani gave us the best ceremony we could have dreamed of! The whole thing was beautiful, and she also wove in some super unique things about our relationship into it. She's also really warm and fun to work with, and charming, warm and fun the day-of. She even joined us on our photo journey after!

The Greatest NYC Officiants You Can Ask For

Dani at Once Upon A Vow is, without question, the most phenomenal officiant you will ever find. She turned our elopement into a seamless, magical, absolutely perfect experience. Through all the chaos and craziness of that day, she was calm and genuinely warm presence put us at ease and made our day perfect. If you’re in the market for an officiant, look no further! Take my word for it: book Dani, and I guarantee you’ll cherish every moment. We couldn’t be happier.

I cannot reccommend Dani enough!!!

My fiancé and I reached out to Dani of Once Upon a Vow to officiate our elopement because we were particularly interested in her “Intimate Love” package. We loved the thought of working together with our officiant to create a personalized wedding ceremony, but didn’t expect how profoundly Dani’s thoughtful questionnaires and discussions would positively impact our wedding experience as a whole. We had the unique bonding experience of communicating our love story and putting our feelings into words together with Dani’s guidance, which not only made the whole experience of planning a wedding together that much more sentimental, but it resulted in such a special ceremony that was warm, funny, and heartfelt (and wonderfully delivered by Dani). We could not have asked for a more perfect experience! Once Upon a Vow *far* exceeded our expectations.

Best officiant ever!

We worked with Dani last year and cannot recommend Once Upon a Vow enough!!! We still hear from our friends and family that Dani was the best officiant they've ever seen at a wedding, and people were constantly coming up to us during the reception asking where we found her. Through thoughtful questionnaires and meetings, Dani was able to truly understand who we are, what we value, and how we see ourselves and our relationship - it felt like a friend was officiating. She is so warm and kind, and you can tell she truly loves love and loves her clients. We're so grateful to her for leading such a meaningful ceremony and will remember her contributions every time we think of our wedding.

Made our day!

We cannot recommend Dani highly enough - she married me and my partner in a hurricane in Central Park and throughout it all was absolutely brilliant. She was such a lovely person, who prior to the wedding, took the time to find out our stiry and this made our wedding very personal and super special. She also took the time out to put together a very beautiful, Taylor Swift inspired reading for my daughter to read. I honestly cannot recommend Dani enough - just awesome!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
