“Dani guided us through the whole process, taking our jumbled word salad and crafting a beautiful narrative of our love story that felt so right and personal. Her questions were thought provoking, deep, silly, and really brought forward the aspects of our relationship we wanted to highlight.

She is a masterful storyteller and shining light of a human, exuding warmth and care for her clients and hopping right on board with any idea to run with it. We couldn't be more grateful and recommend this team any more highly!”

— Megan + Nicole, 2024, Brooklyn Grange

Once You Book Your Intimate Love Ceremony Experience

Ceremony Vision + Love Story Questionnaire

1.

We’ll send you a ceremony vision and love story questionnaire to complete together. We recommend you intentionally plan a date night to complete this questionnaire since you’ll get nostalgic reminiscing over your journey and feel even more connected to one another as you share your love and commitment with us. The more you share, the more we can include in your wedding ceremony.


Marriage License Guidance

2.

We’ll guide you in obtaining your NYC marriage license through New York City’s Project Cupid portal, remind you when it’s time to complete the application, and schedule your City Hall appointment. In fact, review our blog about it HERE.


Love Story Video Chat

3.

We will send you a personalized link to schedule one 90-minute video chat. During this video conversation, we will clarify your wedding ceremony vision to determine the overall flow of your wedding ceremony and dive into the responses you shared in the questionnaire. We’ll ask additional questions to get a real sense of your personalities, values, and journey so we can honor it with a meaningful ceremony that is SO VERY YOU.


Inspiration Strikes

4.

After our 90-minute love story video chat, we will send you a recap email to confirm the overall flow of your wedding ceremony. From there, we’ll infuse your wedding ceremony with the stories, details, and ceremonial elements that we discussed are important to you and your journey. You’ll say “I DO”, exchange rings, share your own personal vows or your chosen repeat-after-me vows as part of your fully-personalized elopement ceremony.


Ceremony Preview

5.

For our fully-personalized wedding ceremonies, we will send you a ceremony outline that gives you a glimpse into the overall flow and vibe of your wedding ceremony. This outline is ideal for our Type A and Type B relationship duos, offering clarity to ease any anxieties and enough space for you to remain present during your wedding ceremony. Upon review, your feedback will help us finalize your wedding ceremony.


Wedding Day

6.

We arrive at your wedding venue about 30-45 minutes early to connect with any necessary wedding vendors and ceremony participants in order to seamlessly guide you towards your first day of married life!


Completion of Legalities

7.

We will accurately complete and promptly submit your marriage license to the correct City Clerk’s Office. We will send a scanned copy of your marriage license via email for our shared records. From there, the City Clerk will mail you your marriage certificate within 4-8 weeks, depending on the time of year your wedding took place.

“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.”
