You've found the perfect venue. The florals are sorted. The caterer is confirmed. But then someone asks: "What about live music?" — and suddenly you're deep in a WhatsApp rabbit hole, pinging cousins, asking your wedding planner's assistant, and watching grainy Instagram videos at midnight trying to figure out if this violinist is actually good or just well-connected.

"I spent three weeks asking around before I found someone. By then, half my budget was already gone."

As Yarnoo grows, the vision extends toward the GCC, connecting regional event planners with Lebanese talent on a wider stage — but right now, the focus is here, on building something real for the local scene, one profile at a time. There are artists in this country — some who've spent decades quietly perfecting their craft, teaching others, and performing across continents — who still get their next gig through a friend of a friend. That changes when discovery becomes simple. No voice notes. No 'do you know anyone?' Just browse, discover, and contact.
