Oklahoma engaged couples and wedding vendors- take note! A new law takes effect July 1st, requiring a bartender to hold a (newly created) Event Bartender License for all event venues in Oklahoma. See their post for the full details and link to HB2369.

📢 IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR EVENT VENUES & ALCOHOL SERVICE PROVIDERS
Beginning July 1, 2026, the Marissa Murrow Act will go into effect in Oklahoma.

Under the new law, individuals serving alcoholic beverages at an event venue will be required to obtain an Event Bartender License, regardless of the type of event being held. The legislation also establishes in-person training requirements for event venue bartender licensees.

The Marissa Murrow Act was enacted through House Bill 2369 (2025 Legislative Session), creating new licensing provisions and defining “event venue” under Oklahoma alcoholic beverage laws.

This legislation is designed to strengthen accountability, promote responsible alcohol service, and enhance public safety across Oklahoma.

The Oklahoma ABLE Commission will continue providing education and resources to help businesses, venue operators, and alcohol service professionals prepare for these changes before the law takes effect.

Hot take: the First Look will not ruin the moment. It will make the moment.
What incorporating a first look does for your wedding day:
🤍 Gives you a private moment together before the ceremony begins
🩷 Allows you to share your personal vows privately, with zero audience pressure
🤍 Opens up your timeline for celebrating
🩷 Let's you relax and your day! A first look will give you more time to visit with your guests, especially during the social hour.
🤍 You still get amazing wedding photos, just without the rushed schedule
That special aisle moment still hits just as hard. Promise. 😉

If you’re already married… did you do a first look? And looking back, would you change anything? Thinking about a First Look but still on the fence? Drop your questions below- I would love to help you decide! 👇

If you’re answering vendor questions on your wedding day, you are not getting to be present in the moment. Every wedding needs someone behind the scenes- someone to talk with the vendors, to keep the timeline on track, to solve problems and emergencies.
