We worked with Bari for our wedding in Sea Ranch. Hiring Bari was hands down the best and most important decision we made during the wedding planning process. Not only did she flawlessly bring our vision to life, but she also made the entire process smooth, transparent, and consistently focused on what we wanted. We really trusted Bari: all our passing and detailed comments were taken to heart and perfectly executed, and on top of that, she consistently advocated for us when we encountered challenges along the way. Bari was the most organized, professional, and thoughtful planner we could have asked for, and she was unwaveringly patient with the endless questions and requests coming from us and our families.


Not only did Bari make the process seamless and fun, she was truly masterful with her weekend-of coordination. Bari’s command of the wedding day logistics was unmatched. As a very type A couple, we felt complete ease and trust letting go, which allowed us to be present and take in every moment throughout the weekend. Meanwhile, Bari communicated across families and wedding parties, organized a complex transportation schedule for 150 guests, and orchestrated across several vendors (including a multi-day build and install). All the vendors noted that they really appreciated Bari’s communication and thorough attention to detail. Bari was even present until the party ended at 2AM, ensuring all guests got home safely and that both the guests and venue were well taken care of. Amidst this all, Bari somehow managed to be so present and hands on with us as if there were five of her. At the end of our wedding, many remarked that she felt like part of the family.


Finally, and maybe most importantly, Bari is an exceptional person. We planned this wedding with her for the better part of two years, and Bari was so reliably good and lived up to (and exceeded) the commitments she made to us during our first interview calls with her. We believe it stems from her reason why – it’s so clear her motivations for being a planner are centered around celebrating love and creating genuinely joyful and memorable experiences curated and personalized for her couples and their families and friends. We couldn’t be more grateful and feel so lucky to know her. The best piece of advice we could give to any couple is to work with Bari.

Bari… where do we even begin! She was our SAVING GRACE during our wedding. After scrambling to find a planner after parting ways with our previous one, we instantly clicked with Bari and knew she was the one for the job. During our initial phone call, she was so kind and attentive, and immediately stood out from our past experience. It just felt like she was the right fit from day one, and that feeling never went away.

Over the next several months Bari continued to prove to us she was way more than a wedding planner, she was a wonderful friend and someone who offered us support throughout the entire process. During every meeting she checked in on us, asked what she could do to help and relieve stress, and paid close attention to every detail we conveyed.

When the wedding weekend came, she had an answer to all of our (many) questions and the entire weekend unfolded seamlessly thanks to her and her wonderful team. We would recommend her to ANYONE in California and will be using her expertise for any future events. Do yourself a favor and hire Bari, everything will be easier once you do!

Bari is a fantastic wedding planner & designer, and we couldn't have pulled it off without her. She is incredibly organized and kept us on task with helpful checklists & timelines. She has an incredible rolodex of vendors throughout the Bay Area and is calm, direct, friendly and professional. On top of that, she put together some beautiful designs for our redwood forest wedding this summer. If you're looking for a wedding planner, look no further!
