Yarhiel Santa
I’m Yari, the heart and soul behind Silk & Stone Events. My approach to planning is rooted in the belief that a wedding should be more than a beautiful event—it should be a living, breathing reflection of the people it celebrates.
With a background defined by a love for artful details and a meticulous eye for design, I’ve dedicated my career to the 'quiet moments'—the ones that happen in the space between the big events. I’m here to bridge the gap between your wildest dreams and a tangible, flawlessly executed reality. For me, the magic is in the balance: blending the softness of romance with the strength of a well-built foundation.

THINGS THAT
the heart behind my work
Inspire
ME
I design for the moment and for the memory. There is a specific magic when a guest becomes fully engulfed in an environment—when the world outside falls away, replaced by the rhythmic clink of crystal and the warm, low hum of laughter. But the work doesn't end when the last candle is blown out. I want my clients to walk away feeling settled and grounded in the legacy they’ve poured into. Whether it is a wedding or a milestone celebration, I believe in creating spaces that leave you more connected to your story than when you arrived.
I find a deep, grounding inspiration in the weathered grandeur of old European estates. There is something profoundly romantic about stone walls that have stood for centuries, holding the echoes of countless celebrations. In my work, I strive to capture that same sense of permanence—designing events that don't just feel like a single day, but like a timeless chapter of a much larger story.
I am endlessly captivated by the tension between precision and poetry. To me, there is a quiet power in a row of perfectly aligned chairs—an intentional foundation—softened by the sweeping, organic reach of romantic florals. I believe luxury is a tactile experience, found in the luminous glow of satin, the honest weight of thick panama linen, and the delicate, weathered edges of a hand-torn velvet ribbon. It is through these curated layers that a space begins to feel like an atmosphere.
To me, 'Elegance with Intention' means that every choice—from the floor plan to the font on your menus—serves a purpose. It means stripping away the 'should-haves' to make room for the 'must-haves.' It’s about creating an environment where you don't just feel like a host, but like a guest at your own celebration. You bring the love story; I’ll bring the artistry to tell it.

I Believe Everyone Deserves a Beautiful and Intentional Wedding

"Your wedding is one single day of the days of your life that you’ll never forget. You’ll constantly reminisce on the things that stood out. I will always remember Yarhiel as a part of my wedding day. She was busting her butt to make my vision come to life and flawlessly executed that vision. With barely any assistance from me. I got to party with my bridal party the whole day and didn’t worry about anything. Yarhiel fed me during down time, checked on me, hyped me up during pictures and things, and truly felt as if she was my close friend. She had the hook up on vendors that were incredible! I couldn’t have had a more dreamy wedding. Thank you for making our day so unforgettable!!"
