Dear Friends Events

Dear Friends is a wedding planning and design studio founded by two best friends, Gabby and Vera. Based in Los Angeles and San Francisco, we create celebrations across California and beyond. We love that no two weddings tell quite the same story. Getting to know our couples, the people they love, and the traditions that matter to them is what makes this work so special to us. We believe the best weddings aren't just beautiful, but deeply personal, full of character, and a true reflection of the people being celebrated.

Our strength lies in the balance of creativity and meticulous planning. Gabby's background in fine arts and graphic design brings a distinct creative perspective, while Vera's extensive experience in the investment industry brings precision, organization, and a strong attention to detail. Together, we look at both the big picture and the smallest details. From shaping the overall design to managing everything behind the scenes, we bring a personal, hands-on approach to creating weddings that feel effortless, beautifully considered, and entirely unique to each couple.

In three words: Creative, Organized, Resourceful
