creating weddings as

UNIQUE

as your love story

about

They say that the average couple will make 285 decisions when planning their wedding. I don't know if that's true, but it certainly felt like it when my husband and I were planning our own wedding! For us, finding ways to blend our mixed cultures made planning even more challenging. I've now made it my mission to help couples navigate this often overwhelming process while staying true to themselves. My approach is threefold:

1.    I center my clients and their vision.
2.    I communicate clearly and regularly.
3.    No detail gets overlooked.

Hi! I'm Noora Barakat Gates, founder of nbg weddings. i'm a lawyer turned wedding planner who loves MAKING my clients' dreamS A REALITY.

testimonials

"Hiring Noora was the best thing we did and the best expense of our wedding. She made it possible for us and our families/friends to relax, sit back and actually enjoy the entirety of our wedding day. We were beyond impressed with how Noora was able to really understand what we wanted and she is really someone who is organized, and helps you feel calm in what can otherwise feel slightly chaotic. We truly wouldn't have been able to have the incredible wedding day experience without her."

"Thank you for making such a perfect event possible. You are now forever a part of our most cherished memories. Thank you for all that you did [for the bride and groom]."
