TheHeart behind theScenes

Meet Yara!

Founder, Planner & Creative Mind Behind MOAYA

Planning weddings feels a bit like second nature to me—equal parts passion and purpose.

I’ve always been drawn to both creativity and organization, and I genuinely find joy in bringing a couple’s vision to life with care, style, and lots of heart. Whether I’m building timelines or choosing the perfect shade of linen, I pour myself into every detail to make each celebration feel like you.

My path into events started with a degree in Leisure and Events Management, but what truly shaped me were the experiences—working with inspiring planners and being part of so many real love stories. Over time, I found my own rhythm, my own voice, and that’s how MOAYA was born.
Today, it’s just me—Yara—behind it all. With every wedding, I bring together everything I’ve learned and everything I love, crafting celebrations that are as personal and layered as the people at the center of them.

The birth of Moaya Events

My love for travel has always shaped the way I see the world. I’ve been lucky enough to live in places like Tanzania, the Netherlands, and Bali—each experience leaving a mark on me, expanding my perspective, and deepening my appreciation for life and connection.

Somewhere along the way, I stumbled into the enchanting world of French weddings and instantly knew I had found something special. That’s when MOAYA started to take shape—a name that blends parts of my own, Yara Ramona, with pieces of the languages and cultures I hold close. Moya, from Swahili, means soul or spirit, and Maya, from Indonesian, means magic.

Together, they express exactly what I hope to bring into every celebration. MOAYA is more than just a brand to me—it’s a reflection of my journey, my creativity, and my love for exploring what makes each story unique. Every wedding I plan carries bits of the places I’ve seen, the people I’ve met, and the belief that thoughtful details and meaningful moments are what truly make magic.

Frequently Asked Questions

What services do you offer?

I offer a range of wedding and event services, including bespoke Wedding Planning, Elopement organization and execution, Content Creation throughout your wedding day(s), Styling & Design for your event, and Vendor Searches for everything from venues to caterers to photographers. Take a look at the 'Services' page or feel free to reach out directly. If you don't find exactly what you're looking for, I'm happy to tailor my services to suit your unique needs!

How far in advance should we book your services?

The ideal booking timeframe varies depending on the service and your individual needs. For bespoke Wedding Planning, I recommend booking at least 12 months before your envisioned wedding date to ensure ample time for thorough planning. Elopements, being smaller in scale, typically require less planning time, but securing vendors 12-6 months in advance is advisable. For services such as Vendor Search, Styling & Design, and Content Creation, I can typically start immediately if I am available.

Can we customize our package to fit our specific needs?

Of course! I am more than happy to tailor my services to your specific needs. Simply send me your request along with a few details, and I'll be happy to discuss everything further during our first personal meeting.

Do you also do destination weddings?

Yes, that is my specialty! While I am based in France and primarily serve international clients seeking exquisite weddings in this enchanting country, I am also open to exploring and arranging weddings in other destinations worldwide!

Do you provide on-the-day coordination?

Absolutely! The bespoke Wedding Planning Service includes on-the-day coordination for your event, ensuring everything runs seamlessly. If you're a meticulous planner and already have everything organized and well-planned out, entrusting someone else with the responsibility and coordination on your special day is also an option I can accommodate. We'll work closely together to ensure that every detail is accounted for and coordinated professionally, allowing you to relax and enjoy your celebration to the fullest.

Are you available for consultations before we book your services?

Yes, I typically schedule an initial call to get to know each other better, discuss your vision for the event, and ensure that we're a perfect match. Following this, we will proceed with finalizing the agreement to move forward with the planning process.
