Reverend Alma Daniel

Alma is just the sweetest women you will meet! She married my husband and I on February 28^th 2014 at Oheka castle and our guests are still talking about how great our ceremony was! She worked with us on creating the most perfect personalized ceremony. The words she read were words we created with her, I feel she truly created a customized ceremony for us and it was beautiful. She took the time to get to know us and had such patience as we went through the process. Se gave us a hard copy that we will have forever. If you are looking for a reliable and comforting person to marry you I recommend Alma, she is the best and we couldn’t of been happier!

Alma just married us a few weeks ago and I can’t say enough positives about the entire experience — from initial meeting to license signature! Alma is super professional, yet with such a gentle and approachable demeanor. She took time initially to really get to know my husband and me as individuals and as a couple. From there she facilitated crafting a draft ceremony with us and encouraging us to really iterate and tweak to make it truly our own. I had a number of questions throughout the process and Alma was extremely responsive and clear in her guidance. She is a real pro. The ceremony was so lovely, thanks to Alma, exactly as we had envisioned it. I felt calm and at ease about it, knowing we were in good hands! I highly recommend Reverend Daniel!

Alma Daniel is a kind, wonderful person and my husband and I were so lucky to find her on Unilocal to be the Officiant in our wedding. From the first phone call to inquire about her services, to the signing of the marriage license, the process was so easy and pleasant.
She invited us into her home and spent time getting to know us as individuals (and as a couple), and we both felt that she genuinely cared about us as well as tailoring our service to our liking. She had some perfect suggestions that fit us to a T, and where things weren’t quite us, she helped us adjust them.
We have had countless complements from guests who also were impressed with Alma and with how perfectly the ceremony fit us. We highly, highly recommend Alma for wedding ceremonies.

As we celebrated our 1-​year anniversary, we started reminiscing about our favorite memories from our wedding. I can say with all honesty that Reverend Alma is a big part of those special memories… words cannot express how much she means to us.
We developed an extra special bond with Alma when she helped us through one of the most stressful experiences of our lives — when we had to postpone and rearrange our wedding four days before the original date (4÷25÷10) due to the Icelandic volcano exploding (long story). She became more than our reverend during that time — she became a part of our family, helping us get through the stress and working with us to rearrange everything.
When we finally had our wedding, Reverend Alma’s warmth, charm, sense of humor and affection made our ceremony absolutely perfect, and one that our guests still talk about. As other reviewers mentioned, she lovingly creates a customized ceremony that is meaningful and very personal. She is forever a part of our hearts, and the hearts of our guests as well.

I have to add another 5-​Star rating! Alma officiated our wedding in September 2010 and was adding so much to it. When we first met I saw her German-​English Langenscheidt book on the table. Being German this was a big thing, since we could have the ceremony bilingual. Beside of that Alma was great in getting to know us quick and understanding, what kind of ceremony we really want. She was also a great communicator and kept us updated on her drafts via email. She also was great incorporating our constant changes and suggestions.
We loved to have her as our officiant and hope a lot of other happy couples will find and choose her.

Reverend Alma Daniel officiated our wedding in September 2009, and we still have people complimenting our ceremony over a year later. Alma is absolute joy. I found her online after extensive research. As part of the process she had us come and meet with her at her apartment in NYC (where we live as well). She was warm and welcoming. We immediately felt comfortable with her style. She was really kind and had a spunky sense of humor. She asked us very specific questions about us as individuals and as a couple, which gave us the sense our ceremony would be tailored to us. She was also extremely easy to communicate with prior to our special day.
On the day of our wedding, she was lovely and calming throughout the entire process. The ceremony was inclusive of our loved ones and really gave our guests a picture of why my husband and I loved each other so much and why we were getting married. It was absolutely beautiful. She is wonderfully spiritual person, which was important to us in that my husband and I are different religions. She’s also really funny, and had some good comic relief during the ceremony that really relaxed our crowd. Our ceremony was completely customized to us, and it was a truly unique and special experience that will be with us always.
As a final note, a few months later I was inundated with calls from around the country that Alma was on TV marrying Bethenny Frankel from the Real Housewives of New York!!! So many people remembered her from seeing her at my wedding, which says people were actually paying attention during the ceremony!!! My husband and I felt like we could relive our experience watching «Bethenny Gets Married?» — from the preliminary interview to the ceremony. it was great. We also felt like celebrities by association.

As a wedding planner I will be sure to refer Reverend Alma Daniel to future clients. She was a true pleasure to work with and her ceremony was great. Alma is very good at what she does and brings her enthusiasm, skill, and kindness to the process.
Thank you Alma — you are so refreshing!

I can’t say enough nice things about Alma. She officiated our wedding in Sep and was just the absolute PERFECT choice! I wasn’t sure we could find someone that could make a non-​denominational ceremony feel so unique, warm and loving. She met with us and customized a ceremony which matched our personalities to a tee. Funny, I think she got more compliments during our cocktail hour then we did :) j/​k. Seriously though — I would recommend her in a heartbeat — the ceremony was by far the most important part of our wedding and I can honestly say she hit it out of the park :)

I was an attendee at two weddings where Alma Daniels was the officiant. She completely customized each wedding ceremony to the couple. Rev Daniels is amazing!

I found Alma through another good review from the project wedding site and thank god I did. She recently officiated my wedding at the lighthouse at Chelsea piers and It was the most perfect, unique, heart felt, emotional, personalized ceremony that I have ever witnessed and I am still receiving calls from my guests about how it was the best wedding ceremony they have ever attended. (I knew it from the moment I first spoke with her over a year ago) You could feel the love in the room as she orchestrated the ceremony that she wrote with my husband and I, beginning to end.
She has a soft yet strong way about her words and when she speaks she captivates people whether, it was just me alone or our entire audience. She gave us the opportunity to included touches of spirituality, religion and a whole lot of our personal feelings into this important milestone of our life. Every couple should be as lucky as us to experience working with Alma. I couldn’t Imagine not having her and I cant wait to relive it with our video!!! SHE IS THE BEST!!!

Reverend Alma Daniel recently officiated our wedding in NJ (even though we live in NYC). We could not have been happier that we found her through WeddingBee (and NY Magazine). She is the sweetest person. We knew the second we met her that she was the right person for the job!
She is calm, caring, and eloquent. We wanted a meaningful yet different wedding — definitely more contemporary than traditional since neither my husband or I are particularly religious. When we met her, she read different verses that she had written and asked us for our opinions/​what resonated most… She took notes, asked us to look over the verses via e-​mail, and revise any words to our liking. This made it more personal… We received so many compliments on our ceremony. There was not a dry eye in the house!!!
We would highly recommend Reverend Daniel to any bride and groom looking for a wedding officiant. She was truly a pleasure to work with and the consummate professional. We look forward to keeping in touch with her for many years to come!
