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.

Best Wedding Day Ever!

Katie’s energy is infectious and she brings joy and light to everything she does. She kept everyone going on the day of our wedding despite the cold and made sure that everything was in order. At no point on the day of our wedding did we have concerns about having to coordinate anything with anyone, we knew Katie had everything in hand. We gave her free reign when it came to parts of the table setting since certain aspects were still up in the air and we could not have been happier with how they turned out. She did an exceptional job of bringing our vision to life, keeping the energy high, and making sure that we never had to think about a single thing!

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!

Katie Hall… what can I possibly say that would speak to how special she is? Katie from Best Day Ever LA is an absolute gem. As my husband and I were choosing wedding planners, the moment we spoke to her we KNEW she was the one. She was the stand-out amongst many, many other planners we met with (and it’s worth noting that both my husband and I have worked hundreds of weddings as musicians, therefore have worked with hundreds of planners from the other side). She tapped into our vibe right away and through the whole process, went above and beyond in every way to make our wedding something special and unique to us. For every question we had, for every issue that came up, for every need that arose, she had an answer – with mountains of experience and good taste to back it up. She is the consummate professional, skilled, reliable, meticulous, and even when things got extra stressful she maintained a wonderfully positive demeanor through it all, which helps US when we are stressed. On top of all that, Katie is an absolutely lovely human, and we have developed a beautiful personal relationship over the time we spent planning our wedding. She really puts her whole heart into her work, and it shows in how she takes care of us, our families, our guests, and our vendors. Katie is 100% the person you want in your corner, no doubt about it.

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!!

Boy is this a perfect name for this business! As the MOB, I will be eternally grateful to Katie for ALL that she gave - her smarts, guidance, creativity, energy, nudges, laughter and fun - to make Katie and Dan's wedding their 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!!

Katie was so amazing to work with! She is thoughtful, energetic, organized, and positive. If you want to have a smooth sailing wedding day, she will make that happen. We honestly couldn't be happier with her from start to finish. She really went above and beyond to make sure everything was just the way we wanted it, and every step of the journey was made easier with her on board. Thank you so much Katie!!

Thank goodness for Katie!

First of all, stop looking for a wedding coordinator right now because Katie from Best Day Ever is your girl! I felt an immediate connection with her over the phone and once I saw how hard she worked to make my special day perfect, I knew I had made the right choice. Katie is responsible, efficient, and most importantly, just a nice, down-to-earth human. Thank you Katie for everything :)

Katie’s the best!

Katie and Best Day Ever LA went above and beyond while planning our wedding. She was incredibly professional, patient, kind and courteous. We truly enjoyed working with BDELA and would recommend her to anyone and everyone. If you are looking for a professional wedding planner that keeps her cool through anything that is thrown her way, Katie is your gal!

Best money i spent

Seriously -- a good day of planner is worth their weight in gold. Our wedding would not have been the easy day that it was if Katie and Best Day Ever weren't there. I am eternally grateful that I had someone who was 100% in my corner -- and that I (the type A, stage manager that I can be) was allowed to just be a bride and not worry about a thing. Thank you Katie!!

It was our best day ever (la)!

Katie and BDELA are truly the best of the best. We knew immediately after meeting Katie that her company was the one for us. We hired Katie/BDELA for full-service wedding planning and it was the BEST decision. Not only is Katie an incredible wedding planner, she is an amazing (and hilarious) person. Katie/BDELA understood our vision and provided recommendations to enhance our event to the next level. Katie/BDELA's guidance and insight took our wedding from good to spectacular. Katie/BDELA kept us on track and made sure we had everything covered, from vendors to menu to the overall look of our event. Katie/BDELA has amazing attention to detail, great communication skills, and impeccable taste. On our wedding day, we were able to relax and enjoy the celebration. Katie handled EVERYTHING. She is magical and always has a smile on her face. If we could do it all again, we would because planning a wedding with Katie/BDELA is SO MUCH FUN!

Wonderful wedding experience

Katie does her job professionally and with ease! She does her job with a bounce in her step and a smile on her face! Her recommendations were spot on and she handled tough issues gracefully. If I had another child getting marrried, we wouldn’t hesitate to use Katie. Everyone in our family enjoyed working with her!

I will definitely be recommending Best Day Ever LA to future friends and family! Katie was so wonderful from start to finish. From the first time she sat down with me and my now husband she was so thorough and gave us so many good tips for preparing for our day.

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!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
