About Barbara's Brides

Barbara's Brides

Owner, lead designer and planner

Barbara's Brides was created decades ago because I saw that couples needed someone at their weddings other than a relative or close friend. Your family and friends love you, but you need to have an experienced professional to pull all the countless details together. I made this my job because I love creating beautiful things, I'm organized, I naturally create a sense of calm, and problem solving is my specialty. I'm experienced in any size event, a variety of cultural traditions and I love seeing couples united regardless of who they love. That's always been who I am.

I am simply authentically me. I am direct, caring and very transparent. I want you and your families to truly relax and enjoy every moment of your wedding day. You both being able to be fully present to enjoy all the love and joy at your wedding is the BEST!

In three words: Calm, Creative, Organized

    Best planner in the game!

    This review won't even do the fabulous Barbara justice. She is second to none! Her years of experience is worth having her on its own, but then you get to know her and see her creativity, organization, calm and friendly demeanor and you are just sold! The more I talk to all my friends the more I realize we got so lucky with Barbara. She is so knowledgable, fairly priced, and just the best in every single way. She is THE person you need to get through wedding planning without going crazy. Everyone who was part of my wedding was so impressed with her. Hiring her will be the best decision you make in your wedding planning journey!

    A MILLION FIVE STAR REVIEWS FOR BARBARA!

    If I could give Barbara 100,000,000 stars, I absolutely would! I have approximately one million ideas at any given moment, and somehow Barbara has the magical ability to take the chaos in my brain and turn it into something that is beautiful, cohesive, and actually makes sense. Every time I come to her with another "Okay... hear me out..." idea, she never makes me feel like I'm asking for too much. Instead, she somehow makes it even better than I imagined. It honestly feels like she can see the vision before I even know how to explain it. One of the things that has meant the MOST to my fiancée and me is how safe and celebrated Barbara has made us feel throughout this process. As a lesbian couple, you never quite know what your experience with wedding vendors is going to be. Barbara has never made us feel like we were anything other than two people deeply in love who deserve the wedding of our dreams. She has been such a genuine ally, and that kind of support is something we'll never forget. I've also been lucky enough to attend weddings she's planned, and WOW. Every single one has been breathtaking. The design, the production, the attention to detail is insane. AND somehow everything feels effortless while also being incredibly intentional. You can tell this isn't just a job to her. She truly cares about creating an experience that people will remember forever. The best part, though, is Barbara herself. She is so professional, organized, and unbelievably good at what she does, but she also somehow feels like family. Wedding planning has been SOOOO overwhelming for me, but she has made it one of the most fun parts of being engaged. I genuinely look forward to every meeting and phone call because I know I'll leave even more excited than when I walked in. Barbara is one of those rare people who makes you feel like your wedding is the most important one she's ever planned. We feel so lucky to have her in our corner, and I truly cannot recommend her enough. If she's available for your wedding... BOOK HER! Seriously. Future you will be so grateful.
