Heartfelt ceremonies for all of life’s milestones & transitions
From baby namings to end-of-life memorials and every meaningful moment in between, we craft personalized ceremonies that honor you and your loved ones.
We believe that time spent with those we love are precious memories in the making and that every opportunity to gather strengthens connection and unity.
To the recovering Catholics, the sentimentalists, the love warriors, joy seekers, grieving hearts, spiritual souls, and everyone else who vibes with us, we are here for you!
ABOUT US
We are Dani (she/her) and Karla (they/she) - bilingual sibling celebrants with 10 years of love storytelling experience as wedding officiants. Dani founded Once Upon A Vow, our first small business, in 2015 to celebrate the beauty of partnership through custom wedding ceremonies for elopements, microweddings, and luxury weddings.
And now, after experiencing much loss and many blessings in our personal lives, we decided that it was time to expand beyond love-filled weddings so that we can honor and celebrate the fullness of our human experience.
We’re here to show reverence outside of the confines of religion and with the expansiveness of our shared humanity. We named this sibling business ‘Ever After and Always’ to express love’s enduring force in each of us.
