End of year blog 2022 ♡

By Rev. Yareni Alvarado

2022 was a year full of love and light as a wedding officiant performing wedding ceremonies in Oklahoma.

This is the second year in a row that I hold the number two spot for the top wedding officiants in Oklahoma City, OK via Wedding Rule.

This year, I consistently performed large wedding ceremonies that accommodated guests in the 200 - 300 range of guests. All of these weddings were bilingual weddings that I had the honor to perform.

I also traveled more than any other year before to new up and coming wedding venues and familiar venues within the wedding industry. The wedding industry in Oklahoma is one of a kind and I've enjoyed being a part of it for the past 13 years.

The list of cities I visited:
Ardmore, OK,  Blanchard, OK,  Chickasha, OK, Edmond, OK, Yukon, OK,  Mustang, OK, El Reno, OK,  Muskogee, OK,  Norman, OK, Newcastle, OK, Tuttle, OK, Purcell, OK, Shawnee, OK, Tulsa, OK, and all over the Oklahoma City metroplex and downtown OKC is where I frequently marry couples.

I am proud to be a bilingual wedding officiant that serves my community in both English and Spanish in the OKC metro.

I’d like to thank family and friends for referring me to their newly engaged friends and for trusting me to be their wedding officiant for their special day.

Thank you to all my vendor friends within the Oklahoma City wedding industry that continue to refer me as well.

To my brother David, thank you for always being so supportive throughout every facet of life.

To my mom, I could not have made it this far without your love and support throughout my evolution and growth as a bilingual wedding officiant in Oklahoma. I owe all of my success to you, as you instilled in me self-discipline, self-love, self-care, and resilience in all chapters of life. That I should always do things from the heart and to always do my best.

You helped pave the way for me to believe in myself and use my abilities to help and serve others selflessly, while still going after my own goals and dreams. Thank you for believing in me. I love you mom, you are my shero.

Last but not least, I am repeatedly grateful to be booked a year ahead. I am looking forward to performing wedding ceremonies throughout Oklahoma in the year 2023.

With gratitude,
