You need to hire Back Patio!

We had the BEST experience working with Laura at Back Patio, and I think it was the best investment I made during wedding planning! As someone who went into wedding planning feeling intimiated by the vast unknown of the process, I found it immensely helpful to have Laura to guide me through it all. I was planning my north county San Diego wedding while living in LA, so I decided to book the Garden package to get expert insight on local vendors from the beginning. From our first phone consult, Laura was so clear in what the different package offerings covered, what to expect working with her, and immediately got to work to help bring our vision come to life. Outside of our contracted check in calls, she was always accessible via email or phone to answer my various questions or provide suggestions. When unexpected challenges with weather came up days before our wedding, Laura worked swiftly to help us navigate the situation with ease and we ended up having the best day, despite a little rain. Plus, she and Kayla were so kind and friendly, so it made getting to know and work with them such a pleasure. If I were planning another event in San Diego, I'd work with Laura and Back Patio again in a heartbeat!

Highly Recommended!

We had a 3 day wedding celebration and believe me when I said Kayla and her crew did such an AMAZING job. If you really want to enjoy your wedding day, they are the best wedding planners to go to. I highly recommend them!

Each and every day came up exactly as we planned according to our ideas and their recommendations. Thank you for making our special day's go smoothly and organized.

Hands down best team you can work with for your special day!


The Backyard Patio Event Design team made our wedding such a spectacular, beautiful celebration for my new Husband and myself and our family and friends. Hands down best team!
From clear communication the whole way through our planning process to an abundance of vendor referrals they made our day feel so manageable to plan. To the day of the wedding where they were nothing short of amazing!
We truly could not recommend their services more. They went above and beyond! I give them so much credit for our day being as enjoyable and seem less as it was! Thank you specifically to Kayla who was always there for us!

With a passion for live music, fashion, design and organization, I love bringing together creative outings and fun event ideas. Whether I'm planning a night out with my husband and friends to see a live band, or back on the East Coast helping my parents with family gatherings, planning is always at the forefront.

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.
