OUR PROCESS

Our ceremonies are personalized to feel like you so it's important to us

that we get to know you on a real, intimate level. That means asking y'all lots of questions to get to the heart of who you are and what matters most to you.

​

It's a collaboration, amores!

1. Contact Us

You can email me at daniela@onceuponavow.com with your names, wedding day, wedding venue, and how you found me.

You can also complete the form on the Say Hola page and we’ll respond within 24 hours on weekdays or 48 hours on weekends, 'cause weekends are for weddings and familia.

​

2. Complete a Questionnaire

You’ll receive a sweet and saucy questionnaire to complete prior to our scheduled talk to gain some basic information from you and a glimpse into your story. We’ll use the information you provide in the questionnaire as a starting point to our more in depth conversation.

3. We’ll Talk

This is where the fun begins! The questionnaire is simply a starting point so we know the basics of you two and what you’re looking for in your ceremony. Once we schedule a time to speak over coffee or through Google Hangouts, we'll dive into all the wonderful pieces of your story. The more you share, the easier it is for us to write an original ceremony that feels every bit like you both.

4. Contract and Payment

To book your wedding date and time, you will simply sign a contract via Honeybook, place the deposit with the remaining payment to be completed two weeks prior to your wedding date.

5. Check-In and Review

Given our in depth conversation where we learn about all things you, your love, and your journey, we will draft your ceremony and send the first draft of your ceremony outline to review.

6. Arrival and Signing

We arrive approximately one hour prior to the start of your wedding time and coordinate with either your wedding planner or venue coordinator to ensure that your ceremony begins on time and runs smoothly. Based on your wedding day schedule, we will determine if it is best to sign your wedding license before or after your ceremony.

7. Submitting your Marriage License

You're officially married, but the City Clerk still needs to file your license and mail you your official marriage certificate. We will scan and email a copy of your signed marriage license before mailing it to the City Clerk's office.
