Owner

I'm a born and bred New Yorker, I'm a wife and mom of three. I started to officiate weddings at first at the request of family members who always complimented my public speaking skills. Now it's become a passion to create personalized moments for my clients. My first priority is to make sure your wedding day feels as special as you dreamed it would be! Your wedding ceremony should be about celebrating love and exchanging vows with your forever person. My job is to ensure that your ceremony feels unique and true reflection of your love story and who you are as partners.

We worked with Yalenis for our Halloween wedding and she did amazing. We are so happy beyond words with our ceremony, and working with her was a joy. She was able to get a sense of how we are as a couple in just a few short meetings, and the script had us in tears! She accommodated our need for Spanish translation, and our guests were very happy they could understand and be included. The reading she chose was perfect, and we appreciated her taking into account our personal beliefs. Yalenis was very sweet, and we knew from the start we wanted to work with her because of her professionalism and warmth she brings to her work. I highly recommend working with her!

Yalenis was absolutely incredible! We asked her to officiate our elopement wedding at very short notice but she did such an amazing job. From the first zoom meeting to the day itself, we were put completely at ease by Yalenis. Our ceremony could not have been more perfect; relaxed but so meaningful. Our day would not have been as special as it was without her. Thank you thank you thank you ❤️

Yalenis was GREAT! She got to the wedding location half and hour before the starting time and was so patient too, because we were running a few minutes late to come up and we made her wait - Sorry about that again Yalenis, you were awesome! - . I definitely recommend her services. She was very professional, the way she run the ceremony was super smooth and soothing since we were a little bit nervous too. I’m really happy you were the one that got us married and we were lucky to find you here on The Knot! Thank you again J&F.

Yalenis was very professional. She helped us put together our ceremony timeline and all her feedback was excellent. We loved having her as our officiant. Her bilingual skills came in handy for us since we had English and Spanish speaking family and guests. I highly recommend Yalenis to anyone looking for an understanding, caring and professional officiant.

A great officiant but also a great person all around!!! Yalenis has such a kind and warm presence, patience and a can do attitude (never pushy). She went above and beyond for our special day by learning some Italian for our nuptials since my husband's parents are from Italy. It was a beautiful, simple but smooth process and we highly recommend her!

Yalenis was our officiant for out wedding 5/28/23. Writing a review of how thorough and amazing she is was an absolute must!! Yalenis was readily available for us and always included us in the process of the ceremony draft. She had video calls with us and asked us questions to truly get to know us. That really showed the day of our wedding. The way she described our love, was exactly what we were looking for. We truly felt like we knew her for years. Another aspect that was extremely important to me, was her bilingual skills. Yalenis is an expert at making statements in both languages when is needed. It wasn’t too little nor too much. She also sent our marriage license right away! We got our license in the mail in 2 week! She was by far one of out favorite cendors ! We truly recommend her!! ❤️

Yalenis was a real pleasure to work with all throughout the process! We really appreciated her willingness to collaborate and create a ceremony that fit our style. She was warm, caring, and super helpful both leading up to the wedding and on the day of. She really seemed to genuinely enjoy conducting the ceremony, and to care about myself and my husband. We were so pleased with how the ceremony went, and very grateful to have had Yalenis as our officiant!

Yalenis exceeded our expectations to commemorate one of the most important memories of our lives as a couple. Yalenis had guided both my spouse and I to deliver the elements of what our marriage means to our special loved ones. She was kind enough to translate the entire ceremony in spanish for our families who did not understand english. It was definitely a personal touch of her own and it was beautiful. I strongly recommend yalenis as an officiant. Thank you Yalenis from the Nunez .
