Laura-Anne M. Sent on 04/09/2024Most Perfect Ceremony
We cannot thank Daniella from Take a Vow enough for making our ceremony so perfect. Although we were at opposite sides of the world before meeting for the first time on our big day, she knew from the first video call who we were and what we were about which resulted in her writing the most perfect ceremony for us. Thank you it would not have been what it was without your support and attention to detail. Laura-Anne and Chris Morrison x -

Perfect Ceremony!
We cannot stress enough how amazing Dani is! The compliment we’ve heard the most since our wedding is how much our family and friends loved the ceremony and our officiant in particular.
From the beginning, Dani invested a lot of time getting to know us and hearing our story through three very fun sessions. This resulted in a very personalized ceremony, with lots of fun anecdotes included. The ceremony was so tailored to us, many of our guests thought that Dani was a close friend. She even did portions in Spanish, for our non-English speaking relatives. Dani was also a very helpful and calming presence, walking us and our wedding party through the entire process before guests arrived.
We truly could not be happier with Once Upon a Vow. Highly recommended if you’re looking for an officiant to throw away the typical template and perform a ceremony that you’ll always remember! -

No words can capture how incredible the experience of working with Daniela was. Daniela far exceeded our expectations and did so much more for us than just being our officiant. Everything that Daniela did was thoughtful, intentional, and professional. From the very beginning, Daniela went out of her way to get to know who we are as individuals, and also to understand our story. From filling out a love questionnaire, to diving deep into our story over multiple video calls, Daniela was able to tell our story better than we ourselves could have once the wedding day finally arrived. On our wedding day, Daniela put together a story and a ceremony that felt personal, loving, funny, relatable, heartfelt, and entertaining. We had so many people ask us where we found Daniela and tell us how they had never witnessed a ceremony as beautifully done as ours, all thanks to her!
One side of our family is Dominican, and Daniela was able to gracefully bring Spanish into our love story without directly repeating every line word for word. This made it accessible to Spanish Speaking only guests, and not repetitive for others. More than one person came up afterwards with tears in their eyes expressing how appreciative they were to have been able to take part in the Ceremony because it was also in Spanish.
Daniela went above and beyond more than once. Daniela coordinated our rehearsal onsite the day before the wedding. We had more than 20 people in the party, including children and parents, and she did such an amazing job at making people feel comfortable and prepared for the ceremony. We both agree that the ceremony was our favorite part of our wedding. The vibe, the emotions, the story telling... All of this came together to create the most special moment of our lives. We highly recommended Once Upon a Vow and Daniela as an officiant for anyone who is looking! You will be in great hands!

The best officiant we could have wished for
Daniela at once upon a vow has been amazing along the way and wrote a truly wonderful service for us which was just perfect in every way. I really couldn’t recommend her any more as she really brought tears to both of us in her words of our Story. -

Dany was our counselor making sure we had all the feels before we wed. She was our planner getting every detail right, and poet with the perfect vows. She held our hands on our wedding day when our family couldn’t be there. She’s the ONLY officiant you’ll want for your wedding day! -

Due to some poor planning on my part, my partner and I found ourselves without an officiant less than three months to the big day. We hadn't asked the person close to us that we had planned and then ended up not wanting to burden them with the task on the big day. Our planner recommended Once Upon A Vow, and we reached out around 11 weeks out from the ceremony. We heard back immediately from Dani, and she immediately got to work. Following one questionnaire and maybe 3 hours together total, Dani put together one of the most beautiful ceremonies and knew so much about our story and our relationship. As a queer couple, we didn't have a ton of ideas for the ceremony itself, and we had so many questions / uncertainty about what we wanted the ceremony to be. Dani guided us through this seamlessly and gave us countless ideas to help shape the story and the event itself. All of our guests complimented Dani and thought she was a family or friend due to how much she "got us." I didn't know what to expect / was unsure about hiring an officiant and not using someone in our "circle," but honestly, Dani was the best choice we could have made, and I am so grateful for her and Once Upon A Vow. Truly the best person, the best officiant, and a must have at any wedding / ceremony. -

My wife and I planned to get married in May, but with the city shutting down because of covid-19 we had to put everything on hold. A week ago I saw a post on my socials that Once Upon a Vow had partnered with the Brooklyn Grange, offering wedding ceremonies to four queer couples for Pride weekend. How amazing! How Serendipitous!
Daniela and Karla (our officiant) were able to turn out the most meaningful and personalized ceremony with such short notice. It felt like everything fell into place that day in the most miraculous way. The thunderstorm even held off until after the ceremony and then shortly thereafter a huge rainbow graced our loving celebration.
The gratitude I feel is hard to express here. The Once Upon a Vow team believes in love and will do all they can to make your day extra special.

Daniela officiated our ceremony with TWO DAYS notice after we won a ceremony at the Brooklyn Grange. She sent us a short questionnaire about our story and video chatted with us to get a better sense of what we were looking for. She prepared an incredible ceremony that was so true to us, our passions, our interests, and our love. The ceremony was rooted in acknowledging the queer people who paved the way for us throughout history. Daniela’s intuition, compassion, thoughtfulness, and natural talent for finding the right words made our day so very special. She by far exceeded our expectations. -

Little Gem PRIDE wedding
We met Daniela and Karla under the most spontaneous circumstances. Our friend entered us into an IG contest for PRIDE celebration were 4 couples would have the honor of celebrating their wedding ceremony on a fantastic Brooklyn rooftop farm. Since our first email exchange with Daniela, we were put at ease by her genuine interest in our story and her ability to craft a vision for our wedding celebration. Meanwhile, Karla went right to work curating our love narrative into a beautiful and intimate story.
On the day of our wedding ceremony, Karla delivered an impassioned retelling of how our love thrived. With her words, Karla was not only able to celebrate our love but also to celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community and highlight their struggle for equality. We are so happy and honored to have met Daniela and Karla, two professional and dedicated women that do their best to create a memorable moment.

We were so lucky to find Karla, and Once upon a vow, It was meant to be!. We had to change our plans last minute due to a blizzard, and Karla was so flexible and willing to walk to us and face a snowstorm to get us married if needed. Not only that, but Karla went above and beyond and performed a beautiful ceremony, half in English and half in Spanish. She made sure (even on short notice) to learn about us and our relationship and include all of those little and meaningful details on the ceremony. She made us feel so special that we really can’t express how thankful we feel to have connected with her. We can’t recommend her highly enough!! -

Don't look anywhere else!
I don't even know where to start with reviewing Daniela at Once Upon A Vow. She was absolutely fantastic! We started our journey with her in 2019 with a scheduled elopement date of 12-12-20 in front of the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree...which was postponed due to covid and rescheduled to 12-12-21. From start to finish she went above and beyond. We met with her in a coffee shop to answer some questions and so she could just get a feel for what we were looking for, the conversation flowed like we knew each other for years! She made us feel so warm and comfortable with the whole experience and I couldn't wait for her to perform our ceremony. The attention to detail was outstanding and her enthusiasm was a shining light having to plan a ceremony from Florida. As the date got closer, she sent an outline of what she was going to say and sent us instructions on getting the marriage license. It was all a very painless experience and I have to give that credit to Daniela! As the day arrived, we had a couple hurdles with location, and she actually went out early and sent us pictures of alternate spots. In the end it couldn't have been a more perfect location! She even surprised us with some additional details in the ceremony that we didn't even remember mentioning to her and it melted our hearts! Not to mention the extra personalized touches and nods to my favorite Christmas movie Elf! I would choose her over and over again!!! -
