Couldn't have done it without Soraya

Soraya is incredible. We truly would not have had the same wedding without her. Soraya is detail-oriented and accommodating and helped us think through all the most important decisions to plan our wedding. She provided guidance and advice without being heavy-handed and all her suggestions (both to us and our vendors) added up to a beautiful night. Everyone commented on how beautiful the event was, how everything ran on time, etc. Soraya also provided helpful suggestions on where to spend vs. save to help manage our budget.

Amazing catering/event planning!

We used SYB for our wedding at the beginning of October and were absolutely blown away by the experience. The food was the most important part of our wedding to us and we wanted to take a unique approach. We worked with Soraya to plan a menu that we were hugely excited about. She tailored everything to our preferences! She even put together an incredible at-home tasting for us during COVID. Soraya also acts as a day-of coordinator and her attention to detail really put my mind at ease in the days leading up. The food and service at the reception was out of this world. All of our guests were raving all night long- from the passed apps, to the raw bar to the stations with live chefs. Soraya and her team could not have done a better job helping us bring our vision to life.

Well worth it!

We weren't sure at first whether we wanted to spend the money on a day-of coordinator, but my wife and I are sure glad we did. Soraya was crucial in the month leading up to our wedding in helping us stay organized, coordinating all the vendors, and ensuring everything ran smoothly on the big day. It was such a relief to be able to enjoy our own wedding and not spend the day fussing over every last minute detail.

Highly recommend

Soraya made our wedding day perfect! She takes care of everything and is very detail oriented and thorough. We would have been lost without her. I definitely recommend her to any family or friends looking to plan an event.

The best out there

Soraya and the event planning team are just who you need to hire for your wedding in order for things to go as smooth as possible on your special day. For us we hired her to be our wedding day coordinator, caterer, and the bar service. She and her team really went above and beyond what we expected out of her. She helped to think of details we wouldn’t have thought of and decorated our venue so beautifully, the food was SO delicious; the guests couldn’t stop talking about it, and they made great cocktails for everyone to enjoy. We said it a few times but we may have canceled our wedding if it wasn’t for her, as planning a COVID wedding was as stressful as you think it is. Additionally Soraya was extremely professional, kind, and very respectful. I cannot recommend her enough. If you want a stress free and a beautifully executed wedding, don’t look any further past SYB Event Planning!

Life saver for this Corona Bride

Planning a wedding in the middle of a pandemic was uncharted territory for anyone this year. Soraya jumped in right when I needed her with what questions to ask my venue on how to ensure I was still going to get the wedding of my dreams. I planned everything last minute due to such uncertainty and Soraya was there with contacts for me from someone to rent chairs from literally last minute as my other vendor fell through. She connected me to the most amazing videographer when we decided last minute that we wanted one. Soraya has such amazing relationships with all these vendors and I knew I could trust her judgement with these referrals. In all this uncertainty, the only thing I was certain about was that any question I had for Soraya, she would give me her best answer or contact. She works all hours and is always accessible for any question you may have. She put my mind at ease and for someone who thought that I could plan this wedding on my own (I’m stubborn like that), I’m so glad I had her helping me plan my special day!

Absolutely Amazing!

We booked Soraya originally to do our catering and ended up adding on day of coordination! Both services were above and beyond what we could have hoped for. All of our guests were absolutely raving about the food and the service! Soraya helped ease so much stress and anxiety for me, especially after having to overhaul and replanning our wedding due to Covid. Soraya made the day so much more enjoyable and allowed my husband and I to be much more in the moment and enjoy our wedding day! I wouldn’t have changed a thing!

Wonderful, experienced and professional!

Soraya was incredibly thorough and forward thinking. Both my husband and I work demanding jobs and had little time to plan anything....she seemed so acutely able to crawl into our brains, recommend ideas aligned with our interests and values and support the best execution. So, so grateful and impressed!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
