About
Welcome to a different way of wedding planning. Your job is to relax and love on each other. My job is to create a radically joyful journey to the aisle and manage the things you shouldn’t have to.
With a decade's experience in the SoCal Wedding scene, I’ve already done the hard part of sourcing the best, most reliable vendors and venues. Let me take care of the details so you can enjoy every delicious moment.
I prefer to join you at the beginning of your journey to secure the best vendor team and deliver the greatest value. But I’m also happy to jump in and assist at any stage of the planning process.
I specialize in Full Service Planning and offer tiered services to fit your needs and budget. I also offer a limited number of Wedding Management packages if you’ve already locked in your vendors and are looking for someone to execute the details.
This experience should be fun. Yes, the whole damn thing. I'm here to release you from the overwhelm, rescue you from stressful societal expectations, and ensure you enjoy the sh*t out of the entire process.

Reviews of Best Day Ever LA {Events + Coordination}
Best Wedding Day Ever!
In the lead up to the big day, Katie was always prompt in answering our questions and making sure that we felt confident in our decision making even when we felt like we had no idea what we were doing. She made everything feel stress free for us and we couldn’t be more appreciative!
Katie is the one!
When my husband’s family lost their home to the Palisades Fire a few days before our wedding, we had to have a serious conversation about if we could even put on the event at all. For a moment, it looked like all of our hard work would have to be surrendered to the circumstances and postponed to a later date. After talking at length with Katie, we decided to continue on, to give our despaired guests something positive and bright to focus on, and we’re so glad we did. Our wedding night was a true miracle. It was beautiful, joyful, uplifting, and it ran pretty damn smoothly! There was little to worry about on my and my husband’s end, because Katie and all our vendors (many of whom were on Katie’s VIP vendor list) were working tirelessly and efficiently behind the scenes to put on a celebration enjoyable for all. Our guests were elated to be there, and many have told us it was their FAVORITE wedding they've ever been to! My husband and I are still on cloud 9 four days later, and we are so grateful for Katie being our beacon in what was an extraordinarily difficult and stressful time for us. I don’t know what else I can say that would further convince anyone that she is the one, but she is THE ONE!
Best Day Ever!!
When my Dad and I used to talk business, he said the key to good management was to surround yourself with good people and let them do their thing. It was clear early on we had done just that in hiring BDELA and everything fell into place for us given Katie's organization, knowledge, suggestions, professionalism - all of it. Katie was just the right partner - always encouraging my daughter to be herself, not following some pre-conceived notion of what a wedding should be and leading the way to vendors that ended up reflecting that perfectly. We have oozed over and over again about how perfect everything was. I still laugh at the day's activity list. Thank God you were at the helm of that!! No hiccups...just fun and love. Katie was our conductor, making all the pieces play so lovely together so the kids and our guests could enjoy the magic of their love. It doesn't get any better than that! Thanks for it all!!
Amazing wedding planner! Thoughtful, energetic, organized, and positive!!
Thank goodness for Katie!

Katie’s the best!
Best money i spent
It was our best day ever (la)!
Wonderful wedding experience
We hired her for the month of coordination - had we had the budget we would've hired her for the full planning! But she went above and beyond, helping us find vendors within our budget and letting us email her a thousand times.
When her services fully began the month before our wedding, my stress was finally relieved! I had someone there to help email/call/secure last minute vendors and details. Katie thought of everything.
Our wedding day was more perfect then words. Our vision was fully realized and everything was put together stunningly. Katie and her assistant were available for each moment we needed an extra hand. They were both so thoughtful throughout the event - making sure we ate something right after our ceremony before we were whisked away by the photographer. They made sure we had enough to eat at dinner and even brought us some cocktails while we finished up a private photo session later in the evening.
A month later and my guests have not stopped raving about how smoothly and wonderfully everything went and I owe a huge thank you to Katie and Best Day Ever LA for making that possible!
