    Worth every penny!

    Worth every penny! (Honestly, they should charge more). After every meeting with Kayla, we felt less stressed, more excited about our big day, and confident that our wedding was coming together exactly how we had always dreamed. Kayla perfectly helped us combine our vision/vibe with all the fine details. The final month before our wedding, Kayla was critical in organizing our vendors and timelines and ensuring everyone knew what to expect and that all items were accounted for. The day of, we had no stress or decisions to make, and as far as we know, everything went perfectly! Kayla and the team worked so hard to ensure everything was perfect, and we seriously had one of the best days of our lives!

    Look no further! Hire Back Patio!

    My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Laura and Kayla planning our wedding! I would say hands down, Laura and Kayla made my wedding day an absolute dream! I could not have asked for a better team to work with. I worked primarily with Laura, we had monthly calls; check in’s, seeing if I had any questions, if I needed help with anything. Laura is a true professional; there were a few bumps in the road, as I imagine planning any wedding would have, and Laura handled every single issue with poise and handled everything. I cannot be more grateful working with such an amazing team. Highly, highly recommend! These ladies are rockstars! :)

    In the simplest of words, BOOK THEM.

    I cannot express properly how thankful my husband and I are that we hired BPED for our wedding. From the moment we began working with Kayla, it was clear she was truly invested in our wedding day. She's an expert in this industry. She provided fantastic recommendations - whether it was for vendors, or for event execution. Throughout the planning process, she kept us organized and on track. On the day of the wedding, Kayla & Laura were rockstars. I did not have to worry about a thing from set up to tear down. As hiccups arose, they handled them quickly and efficiently, without us having any idea that they were even occurring. They had a pulse on every single thing happening at the event, the entire time.

    Arguably, the best money we spent for our wedding. They are seasoned, organized, and visibly very passionate about what they do. Thank you BPED!

A childhood full of BBQ's at my grandparents farm, church socials, and regular gatherings with family + friends are some of my fondest memories growing up. Be it an intimate tea party for my daughter or a three day wedding event, all gatherings are dear to my heart. Nothing brings me more joy than bringing people together to celebrate.
