"Karla really took the time to find out about our relationship, communicated well with us about our ceremony, and walked us through more than one marriage license SNAFU. Not to mention, our guests were shocked to learn Karla wasn’t a longtime friend because of how well she seemed to know us in our ceremony ... about one of the best compliments for an officiant I can imagine! In short, we HIGHLY recommend Once Upon a Vow, especially if you’re the kind of couple who wants to include bell hooks readings in your ceremony and/or appreciates Taylor Swift mashups specially made for you"

"Daniela is a little lady but has a big presence. This was definitely not her first rodeo. She did an amazing job for our ceremony. She spoke clearly and confidently. She is a great storyteller and wove a beautiful story for us. Daniela took into consideration everything we mentioned at our sole meeting and penned our story in a way that had our friends assuming that she knew us. It was non traditional and it was beautiful! We give Daniela our full and unequivocal endorsement! We love her!"

"Karla felt like a long lost friend from the first time she connected with us. Even though we had to connect solely through phone, video chat and email due to being on opposite ends of the country, we felt that she was able to ask the right questions to get to know us and was able to connect with many of the things we had dealt with in our personal lives as well as a couple. We immediately knew that our ceremony was in the right hands. Karla felt like a part of our family, and was able to make us laugh, cry, and feel the true magic of our day. I can't finish this review without making a point to thank you, Karla, for being such an amazing, supportive person for us throughout this process."

"Daniela had one meeting with us in person a couple of months before the ceremony, and during this meeting she asked us many questions about our relationship to get to know us better. Little did I knowthat she would use these questions to create the most personal wedding ceremony for my husband and I. Our friends and family were blown away and many asked us if she was a friend because she knew so much about us. I would 1000% recommend her to couples who are looking to have a non-traditional ceremony, or a blending of traditional/modern styles. She works with you to create the wedding YOU want and I'm so happy we found her"

"Daniela and Karla really made our day seamless and special. The day before our elopement, we were given a list of reminders and a rundown of what’s going to happen which really helped us feel at ease. And on the day, Karla is just a star! She has tailored the ceremony according to our story and we were both in tears because it’s like a playback of what our whole relationship was about and where we want it to be. Everything was personalized and prepared for us and she made sure that our attendees were part of it too."

"We feel so fortunate to have found Daniela as our celebrant, she was so perfect for us. We had been a little nervous as we were organising the wedding in NYC from Australia. However Daniela was so supportive and genuine. She arranged Skype calls and spend a lot of time getting to know us and creating a uniquely special ceremony for us. The words she wrote for us, were so special and touching, there wasn't a dry eye in the house on the day. She is a beautiful person and we feel so blessed to have had her as a celebrant."
