Amazing Wedding Planner :)!

Katelynn guided us through our wedding planning journey, and we felt so comfortable and listened to every step of the way. We chose a semi-package since we had picked out our venue and photographer in Santa Barbara already. This was one of her strong points, which was her ability to adapt to a new vendor area and establish positive connections with each of our vendors. We hope she continues to work in Santa Barbara, since it was a joy to work with her and see what ideas she developed after visiting our venue space. She brought a sense of creativity and great ideas when it came to bringing our vision of an intimate wedding to reality. Our day was so special and went smoothly thanks to her lead and direction. Special thanks to her associate, Courtney, as she was a great addition to the team and worked so well with the vendors! We highly recommend working with Own the Day.

Alice in Wonderland Baby Shower

Katelynn and @ownthedayevents created the most beautiful baby shower of my dreams. I am so thankful for how Katelynn organized, planned and handled all of the details of my baby shower so my mom who was hosting could truly enjoy the event. There was no detail too small that Katelynn did not think of! I truly could not believe how much it felt like we were having tea in Wonderland! I cannot recommend Katelynn enough for your event. The entire day was seamless and will be forever one of my all time favorite days celebrating my little belly buddy. Thank you so much Katelynn, you truly are gifted!!!

Katelynn is a miracle worker!

I found Katelynn on Wedding Wire and she did not disappoint! I had a huge issue where a venue changed their rules about something I had already paid thousands of dollars for and they told me I couldn’t use it a week before the wedding (they approved it months ago). I was beside myself but then Katelynn stepped in to fix it and she got them to change their minds and I was able to use the items I had purchased. Hire Katelynn! You won’t be disappointed.
