OUR TEAM
“My goal is that our team exceeds expectations creating a memorable experience that will result in long lasting friendships with our clients”. – Yara Castelan, Co Owner of UDE
While Yara’s background is in the medical field the love for design led her to take the risk of building her dream job. Her experience in the event industry has created an opportunity to let her creativity develop through time creating trendsetting designs to follow for years to come. Her passion for event design comes from her childhood and she’s developed a reputation from the event industry of an executor and artist. When she’s not designing gorgeous wedding decor for others she is enjoying a nice run out at the lake and enjoying outdoor sports together with Gabriel and their two children Gabriel and Gisele.
