Outstanding Coordination by Heather of Ybarra Events

We had the pleasure of working with Heather Bair from Ybarra Events as our "month of" wedding planner for our October 2023 wedding. Heather's expertise and professionalism in event planning were evident from the start. She brought a level of organization and foresight that was both reassuring and impressive, making it clear that we could trust her to execute our vision flawlessly.

Despite the inherent stress of wedding planning, Heather's methodical approach significantly eased our worries. Her communication was clear and effective, utilizing a mix of emails, planned zoom calls, texts and wedding planning tools to plan and orchestrate our big day. Heather's knack for asking essential questions, ones we hadn't thought to ask ourselves, was particularly invaluable. This attention to detail ensured that every aspect of our wedding was considered and carefully planned, and wow did all that work pay off!

On the wedding day, Heather's management was extraordinary. She operated like a well-oiled machine, providing support and efficiently handling every event detail. She communicated effectively, involving us in decisions as needed while smoothly keeping the day on track.

We wholeheartedly recommend Heather Bair at Ybarra Events to any couple seeking a skilled and personable wedding planner. Her invaluable contribution to our wedding was deeply appreciated, and we would gladly choose Heather and Ybarra Events for any future event planning needs.

Excellent, Professional, and Kind

I recently had the pleasure of working with Tara and team as a fellow vendor for a wedding at Straus Home Ranch. As a wedding florist, much of my success comes down to the nitty gritty of logistics and timeline. So having a really solid planner on hand makes all the difference in a smooth operation for me and my team, allowing us to provide a beautiful end result for my client. And speaking from much experience, the lack of a planner (or lack of a GOOD planner), can have the complete opposite effect.

Tara and her team were so kind, gracious, communicative, and supportive throughout our planning and day-of setup. Always with a smile on their face, well versed in the venue, and with a 'make it happen' team energy. I wish I could work with Tara on a regular basis, because she made my job feel that much more enjoyable and rewarding, and that extended to the couple, their family, and friends. I highly recommend!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
