band and I have shared over the years. Marissa was incredibly easy to work with, always on time, and made sure everything was exactly how we wanted it. She went above and beyond by including our daughter and our moms in the ceremony, which made the day even more meaningful. When I say there wasn't a dry eye in the house, I truly mean it—every single person was moved by her words. We had so many guests asking if we had known her for years, because she made it feel like we had a close friend officiating for us. Marissa was wonderful in every way, and we couldn’t have asked for a better person to lead us through such a special moment. If you’re looking for someone who will make your ceremony personal, heartfelt, and unforgettable, Marissa is the one!

om the very first meeting we had with Danielle she made my husband and myself feel so comfortable and answered any questions we had about the process. She really got to know us as a couple and our love story and brought our vision to life! She is truly a master at her craft!

tart to finish, especially from those who prefer much more of a "traditional" ceremony! We knew we wanted to bring in a bit of tradition and family but nothing too stuffy. We wanted it to resonate well with who we are as a couple and how we plan for our future. Danielle brought such a calming presence throughout the day - it was a pleasure meeting her in person - she truly has the best personality! She was beyond prepared, walked us through every single set with planning and the day of.

After the wedding, multiple family members + friends told me how amazing Danielle was and how much the sentiments she was sharing resonated with them - and I agree! We can't thank Danielle enough for being a part of our special day and 1000% recommend her for anyone looking for an amazing officiant.

d vows, and she was there for us every step of the way when we had questions and was always available. You can tell truly that Danielle loves her job and loves what she does every day. She met with us the day of the wedding before the ceremony and went over the plan how we were gonna walk down and what we were gonna do and say. She also reassured us that everything was going to be just the way we planned and helped settle the nerves tremendously! Our ceremony went so smoothly and was so beautiful, we got so many compliments from all our guests saying how beautiful of job she did. I say this with confidence that nobody could’ve made me more comfortable in this time than her. She puts so much pride and love into what she does and she truly is the best.

communicated well regarding ceremony planning deadlines, provided recommendations for readings and vow writing, and encouraged us to be thorough and thoughtful in our reflections about each other. We cannot recommend Danielle enough, and we are so grateful for her and her work in crafting and delivering a memorable and touching ceremony that wove our stories and our journey as a couple together. We were both so impressed with the ceremony (even though we had read through it multiple times throughout the planning process), and we received so many compliments from our guests.

We had many family and friends compliment our ceremony and how beautiful and thoughtful it all felt. Danielle helped us feel comfortable and guided us every step of the way. I could not recommend her enough!

we are as a couple. From the start, she took the time to get to know us, weaving in stories, humor, and thoughtful moments that made every second feel intimate and unique. Danielle's warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail brought an incredible sense of calm to the day. We were blown away by how she effortlessly balanced moments of laughter and seriousness, creating an atmosphere that felt both celebratory and deeply meaningful.

If you’re looking for an officiant who will make your wedding feel special, memorable, and perfectly “you”, then look no further!

nd and we both felt we could open up to her as a friend in that first meeting. The questionnaires we had to fill out were fun! It was like reflecting on our whole relationship from where we started to our hopes for the future. It was important for Marisa to learn these things about us, but it was also very poignant to reflect like that leading up to our wedding. It felt like falling in love all over again, and what better time for that!? Marisa absolutely nailed the ceremony speech, highlighting our important moments as a couple, and making everyone laugh and cry just the right amount. Her story telling was so good that people asked us how long we knew her: they thought she was an old friend! It was a very special experience getting married by Marisa. It did feel like a good friend was up there with us, walking us through such an important moment in our lives. My now husband and I would absolutely recommend Your Story Ceremonies and Marisa to officiate your special day!

After learning that we have saved keepsakes throughout our relationship, Danielle suggested we do a time capsule as our Binding Ritual. This added an extra layer to our ceremony and something we never would of thought to incorporate. Our ceremony was everything we could have dreamed of and we are so lucky to have found Danielle!

lle really took the time to get to know us as a couple. She is extremely organized , which eliminated any stress couples may go through when planning a wedding. Our ceremony was absolutely perfect ! We included readings from her vast library of literature to choose from. We included a handfasting , which Danielle was very familiar with. It was everything we dreamed of and more. Danielle understand who were as a couple and how we wanted to represent that to our guests. We received so many compliments how beautiful our ceremony was and how incredible Danielle was. All our guests said they’ve never been to ceremony so beautiful before. And we owe that all to Danielle. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Danielle. If I could give more then 5 stars , I would ! All our best to you Danielle Robyn & Steven

e we met with her we were on a zoom call with her for four hours just talking about love and life and our relationship and we had absolutely no doubts that she was going to be our officiant. After we booked her she sent us each private questionnaires and used that to form a beautiful ceremony script. Working with her was my favorite part of wedding planning - she helped us remember the root of all of this; our love for each other. Everyone came up to us after the ceremony telling us how beautiful it was and asking if she was our friend because it felt so personal. Highly recommend.

all the parts of our relationship which meant the world to us. She wanted it to be everything we wanted! The effort, time and care she genuinely put into our ceremony absolutely meant the world. We didn't want some cookie cutter ceremony and we couldn't be happier with the work and time she put into us. Our wedding guests commented that they had never experienced a ceremony like ours! It was special and different! And, it was US! A HUGE Thank You to Danielle for her incredible work and truly making our day and ceremony one we will always look back on with absolute joy and love in our hearts. We HIGHLY recommend Danielle for your Ceremony!!!

genuinely kind person. Danielle was so patient when it came time to schedule a video chat meeting, as I was in school at the same time as we were wedding planning. She was so lovely during our meeting, that as soon as we hung up, my (now) husband and I looked at each other and immediately agreed that we wanted her to be the one to marry us. Danielle was so easy to work with, and she made everything stress free and easy to understand. She was kind enough to send rough drafts of the ceremony script and asked us what we liked or didn’t like. She had no issue making adjustments for us. She was so detail oriented, and I felt very comfortable that everything was going to go smoothly the day of the wedding. We met Danielle on our wedding day and she was like a ray of sunshine. I was getting extremely nervous before the ceremony and she took some time to sit us down and walk us through everything again. She had taken the time the week prior to discuss everything with us , but having her there in person was very helpful and calmed us both down. The ceremony itself was beautiful. The script she put together for us was so elegant and modern. We wanted a ceremony that was tailored to us , and we got exactly that. We got so many compliments on our ceremony and also on how lovely Danielle is; you can really tell she loves what she does! My husband and I 100% recommend her to anyone looking to have a beautiful and memorable ceremony. We are so grateful that she was a part of our day! Love, Samantha and Jamie Jennings

he whole process!

intimate and personable than we ever would have expected. Especially, since we admittedly almost forgot about getting someone to marry us in the first place…. Oops. You were honestly the BEST recommendation we could have asked for. Thank you for taking the time to make the day even more special. You made the whole process so easy and comfortable. We received so many compliments and praises about you. I only wish we had some unmarried friends to recommend you to.

te, and very fun getting to know my fiance and the definition of what we call love. Priceless.

ions for our wedding. She guided us throughout the process, and gave us great resources to help us with our vows. The ceremony process was also extremely smooth. She expertly guided the wedding party during set up and gave us such a special ceremony experience. She shared our love story in a beautifully, well-spoken way. We are truly grateful, thank you Danielle!

She seemed genuinely happy for us and eager to be a part of our special day. Even though we didn't verbally commit to moving forward with her that day, Danielle still spent a significant amount of time speaking with us about different ceremony options, giving us guidance and helpful tips regarding the legal side, including filling out the marriage application, getting the license from the court and name changes. She shared all this helpful information with us even if we weren't going to move forward with hiring her! This definitely solidified for us that hiring Danielle was the right move. Since then, there was no buyer's remorse. Danielle was a pleasure to work with from day one through post wedding. We met with many vendors throughout our planning who treated our wedding as 'another day in the office'. Danielle truly seemed happy and honored to oversee our wedding ceremony. With so much on our plate that day, it was a relief to share with Danielle our vision and feel confident that she would execute it...which she did. We've gotten so many compliments from family and friends that Danielle oversaw a beautiful ceremony with the perfect blend of laughter and respect for the moment, and everyone loved her soft and soothing voice. She even helped coordinate with the venue, DJ, maitre d', and our wedding party to make sure that everyone was organized and on the same page regarding our wedding details. This was especially helpful as we had to move from outdoors to indoors last minute due to weather. We truly appreciate Danielle for being part of our day and highly recommend her to every couple!

smoothly which definitely calmed me and my wife’s nerves before the ceremony. Thank you so much for making our day that much better.

olved my son and breaking of the glass at the end so we could incorporate Christian and Jewish traditions. Her vibe is so calm and having her around really made us all calm and relaxed before the big moment. She made the day so special and all of the guests have been telling me what a beautiful ceremony we had and how they have never seen one like it.

e and performed for us felt like it was written by an old friend. It made me tear up reading our first draft (which needed virtually no revisions, btw). Danielle is super communicative, she provides you with so much support pre-, during, and post-ceremony, she’s really like an extension of your wedding party. Unlike a church/house of worship ceremony which has a set structure or sometimes a set of rules for you to follow for the sacrament/service to be legitimized or recognized, Danielle created a ceremony that incorporated personal, religious, and cultural elements that truly made our ceremony unique to us. Even though a wedding ceremony typically requires little to no physical preparation, Danielle made herself available the day before our wedding IN THE POURING RAIN, to be at our venue to do a dry run with everyone beforehand. She helped everyone get their nerves out and assured us that she’d work directly with our maitre’d/day-of-coordinator to make our ceremony just as smooth and seamless as our reception and she delivered! We were both so nervous and excited during our ceremony that we couldn’t look at anyone but each other, but we remembered we could look back to Danielle for guidance during each moment of our ceremony and she’d guide us through. We never once felt like we had a million steps to remember – everything just flowed from one moment to the next. She even provided us with a boatload of resources and examples that made writing our own vows to one another a breeze! Her ceremony was the perfect blend of seriousness, personality, light, love, and fun! We cannot thank or recommend Danielle enough!

she was easily reachable and answered every question we had quickly. When we received our first draft to read, I was blown away! It was clear that Danielle paid attention to all the details of our love and understood all the aspects of our relationship . The day of the wedding , Danielle made sure everyone was in the correct order and informed our bridal party on what they had to do! She definitely helped calmed my nerves on a beyond overwhelming day . Because of Danielle our wedding ceremony flowed beautifully and touched all of our guests. Till this day our wedding guests still rave about her! The way Danielle spoke , so many guests thought she was a friend of ours & honestly that’s how it felt ! I’m so glad we chose Danielle to be our officiant— book her now!

ful ceremony that really captured my husband and I’s relationship. We were able to read it prior to the wedding to make any changes we needed. All our family said the ceremony was very beautiful and we were so pleased at how she spoke on our love story. Would recommend using her for your special day 100%!
