Yadira was great!

Not only was Yadira really great at officiating our wedding, she was also very flexible! If you’re looking for a bilingual officiant, she’s your gal! She did everything we asked for and more. She definitely fit our vibe as a couple. I would definitely recommend her to my friends and family. She made our wedding one to be remembered!

Warm, Genuine, and Bilingual—Highly Recommend

We spent a long time searching for the right officiant because we were planning a bilingual wedding—Spanish for my side of the family and English for my (now) husband’s. Yadira was everything we hoped for and more. She was easy to work with, incredibly flexible, and truly took the time to get to know us and tell our love story in a way that felt deeply personal and meaningful.

The ceremony felt like it was led by a close friend who had known us from the beginning. Everyone was engaged—from moments of laughter to heartfelt “awws” and even a few happy tears. Yadira made it all feel so natural and unforgettable.

I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, bilingual, and warm officiant. We’re already planning to have her join us again for our 10- and 25-year vow renewals!

You’ll absolutely love your ceremony with Yadira—she makes it truly special.

Affordable and Loving Officiant

Yadira and YM Bilingual Weddings were extremely helpful in making our wedding day possible. She was able to help with the documents and offered helpful and inspirational suggestions for the ceremony. She takes the time to get to know you and your story to personalize the experience. She was punctual and even asked us how we would like her to dress, to help fit the theme of our wedding. She is respectful of all forms of love and will work with you to plan the non-traditional wedding ceremony of your dreams.

Yadira was absolutely AMAZING!

Yadira was AMAZING! My girlfriend (now wife) and I were looking for a bilingual, queer-friendly, latina wedding officiant to officiate our wedding ceremony. When I found Yadira, I fell absolutely in love with the different packages she had to offer, which range from affordable and simple, to more elaborate. We went with a more simple one, and she made it very magical. My wife and I also felt like how Yadira handled the ceremony was very regulating for our nervous system, as she intentionally allowed some time for deep breaths and calmed energies. She added a nice touch with a very beautiful poem, and we loved how she handled the bilingual ceremony. In general, communication with her before and after was really good. I would 100/10 recommend Yadira for your wedding!!

Excellent & professional

Yadira is very professional & i couldn't have picked anyone better. She made the ceremony feel very smooth and was able to calm my nerves down. She has such a great personality that it felt like someone close was marrying us. She also catered to my request. It was just such a great honor to have her be part of such an important day. Thank you Yadira!!!
