Emily Sent on 02/10/20261000% Recommend KB Events!
We interviewed a lot of wedding planners before hiring Katie and KB Events- while there are other good ones out there, I cannot imagine a better experience than what we had with Katie, Adam, and the KB Events team. We always say that it was 100% the best decision to work with them, second only to saying I do!
We had a large wedding (300+ invites, 250 guests) and combining of cultures, and Katie was available and helpful with every question we threw at her as we walked through the process together. We still hear from our guests all the time that our wedding was the best wedding they've ever been to, and that is in large part due to the work Katie & Adam put in behind the scenes to make everything feel seamless and cohesive. They care and notice every detail and we truly cannot say enough good things about our experience. They act with integrity and warm professionalism, and we are just so so thankful for their huge role in our big day! -

Courtney Sent on 01/14/2026Amazing Halloween Wedding!
My husband and I were married on Halloween of 2025. While we live in Los Angeles we fell in love with the Santa Barbara area for our venue and could not have been happier with our choice to go with KB Events. Our planner Hannah was approachable, incredibly friendly, and professional every step of the way towards the wedding date. We always felt taken care of and that everything that had to be organized with vendors and our own personal check list was expertly handled. It was therefore no surprise that on the day of the wedding every little thing went as smoothly as possible. It was a dream day for us both thanks to Hannah and her team. We could not recommend them enough! -

We worked with Hannah at KB events on our wedding for 15 months, and it was a true pleasure. She is incredibly organized and thoughtful, and always knew how to guide me in the planning process without being overbearing. Our actual wedding day went off without a hitch. It's hard for me to let go of control, but I trusted Hannah and her team to carry out our plans seemlessly, and they did. I cannot recommend Hannah and team more highly! -

Madison Sent on 10/27/20255 Stars for Hannah
Working with Hannah from KB Events was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! From the very beginning, she brought such calm energy, professionalism, and expertise to the entire planning process. She made everything feel organized, seamless, and stress-free. We always felt like we were in the best hands.
One of the moments that stands out most was during our wedding speeches, when a private home behind our venue happened to be hosting a quinceañera, complete with a full high school marching band (tuba and all!). Our venue said this had never happened in over a decade of weddings, and just as that moment of panic set in, Hannah stepped in with total calmness and confidence. Within minutes, she had seamlessly ushered in our guests who were sitting outside to inside, turning it into a more intimate, cozy setting for everyone, and it ended up being even more special for our speeches and first dances. She coordinated with the hotel staff so quickly and had everything back in motion, by the time our DJ started playing again, the doors reopened and we couldn’t hear the high school band at all. It’s now a funny story we’ll always laugh about, but in the moment, it was Hannah’s grace, quick thinking, and professionalism that completely saved the day. She truly handled it with such urgency and ease that only a true expert could.
Our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more, and we owe so much of that to Hannah. She’s talented, kind, and genuinely cares about her couples. We can’t recommend her highly enough! — Madison & Brandon -

Abby Sent on 10/13/2025Truly the Best Decision We Made
Working with KB Events for our partial planning package was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. The level of service we received went far beyond what we expected. We felt completely taken care of every step of the way, and looking back, we can’t imagine going through the process without them. Hannah was an absolute superstar. Truly the best part of the entire planning experience. From our very first call, through every email, meeting, rehearsal, wedding day, and even the follow-up afterward, she was consistently clear, direct, personable, and so professional. She’s incredibly organized, knowledgeable about everything Santa Barbara weddings, and has such a calm, confident energy that instantly puts you at ease. Every step of the process felt smooth, thoughtful, and well-communicated. We always knew what to expect and felt fully supported, which made planning feel enjoyable instead of stressful. On the day of, everything ran seamlessly thanks to her and her amazing team. We were able to be fully present and soak up every moment, knowing that everything behind the scenes was being handled perfectly. The end result was more beautiful and meaningful than we could have dreamed of. It was clear throughout that Hannah truly cared about us, not just as clients, but as people, and that personal touch meant the world. If you’re getting married in Santa Barbara, we couldn’t recommend KB Events more highly. Their pricing is very reasonable for the level of service, professionalism, and peace of mind they provide. We’re endlessly grateful for everything Hannah did to bring our vision to life and to make the entire experience so joyful from start to finish. -

Hiring Hannah was priceless. She took care of everything with a smile and made sure that our day went off with a hitch. Hands down the best money spent on our wedding, we could not recommend her enough! Truly no notes. Our guests were sad to hear she only does Santa Barbara area or she would’ve had many new clients! We will miss working with Hannah she made our day perfect -

Meghan Sent on 09/01/2025Making Our Wedding a Dream Come True
From the very beginning, working with KB Events was everything we could’ve hoped for—and so much more. Planning a destination wedding could have easily felt overwhelming, but Katie and Adam made the entire process feel calm, intentional, and genuinely exciting. They created space for my now-husband and I to be fully present on our wedding day, without a single worry—and that’s a gift we’ll never forget.
They listened with care, helped us find our dream venue, guided us through vendor selection, answered every single one of our (many!) questions, and brought our vision to life at Machias Meadows in the most beautiful way. Every detail felt like us—from the layout to the flow of the day—and it was clear how much heart and pride they poured into making it all happen.
From vendor coordination to timeline flow, everything was handled with such precision and warmth. Adam even jumped in to help build the floral arch, which speaks volumes about their dedication and hands-on support. What stood out most was how they always seemed one step ahead all week and weekend, allowing us to truly relax and soak in every moment with our loved ones. The entire day felt calm, joyful, full of fun, and a true dream come true—exactly what we had hoped for.
We’re so deeply grateful to have had KB Events by our side for such a meaningful chapter in our lives. Their kindness, expertise, and attention to every detail made our wedding feel like a true reflection of us and the love we share. I cannot recommend them enough. KB Events didn’t just plan and execute our wedding—they crafted memories that will live in our hearts forever. They have a beautiful gift for turning dreams into reality, and we feel so lucky to have experienced that firsthand, and hope others do too!

A perfect wedding at the Santa Barbara club on 6/7/25
Just a super pro wedding and event planner. Uses great tech to dial in all the pertinent deliverables in an easy manner and keeps the family aware of all upcoming dates and financial matters. And on the wedding day they really shine, Katie is the boss and is all business, directing all aspects of the day including the venue staff, vendors and guests. Couldn't be happier with her service! -

Katie Sent on 07/07/2025Santa Barbara Club Wedding 6.7.25
Katie and Adam were the most incredible wedding planners — truly, we couldn’t have asked for better. We actually found them before we found our venue — which they recommended, and we booked immediately after touring. Every recommendation they made and all of their Santa Barbara expertise were so helpful throughout the planning process. I genuinely never felt stressed because of them! But the real magic was on the wedding day — they ran the tightest, most well-oiled machine. Everything went off without a hitch and came together perfectly. -

Alison Sent on 11/19/2024We owe everything to Hannah and KB Events!
Hannah and KB Events made our dream wedding come to life!! My husband and I got married at The Santa Barbara Club in early November and Hannah was recommended by our venue and several other local vendors.
Hannah provided us with numerous resources to help track our budget, create a very detailed timeline for the day and organize all our vendor information in one place. Hannah was quick to respond to all our emails and changes and made us feel at ease throughout the entire planning process and day of. There was potential rain forecasted on our wedding day and Hannah worked endlessly with our venue and vendors with only a few days before our wedding to create an alternative plan for indoors. Fortunately, it ended up being a beautiful day outside, but knowing she had a back up option planned for us was such a relief.
Not only is Hannah the sweetest person ever, she is so knowledgable about the wedding industry in Santa Barbara County and surrounding areas and provided us with amazing suggestions which really elevated our wedding.
It was an absolute pleasure working with Hannah and KB Events and would highly recommend booking them ASAP for your wedding! -

Our Special Day
Katie and Adam Review
We were married at the Hotel Californian on September 21st. Katie and Adam of KB Events were our wedding planners from the beginning in January. We had wanted a group that was local to Santa Barbara (our hometown and a wedding destination for many people, as well) so that they were in touch with the venues, outside providers for all services, and logistics. It could not have been a better choice.
After months of planning once we had selected the venue, our wedding day was perfect and seemingly flawless in terms of all of the parts and pieces that had to fit together. Everything was on a coordinated schedule for the vendors, in place and on time. The Hotel Californian was great to work with, setting up for the ceremony and the dinner afterwards. What a beautiful location!
Katie and Adam (and their staff on the day of the wedding) orchestrated a fabulous and enchanting day for us. Their involvement and attention to the smallest detail through the months of preparation and their oversight on the day made our wedding so easy for us, and we were able to just enjoy our most special moments without any cares or worries. Thanks to both of you and your staff for this fairy-tale wedding and a magical day! -

We hired Hannah at KB Events for our July 2024 Wedding and it was the best decision we could have made! She was on top of everything from start to finish and took off all of the pressure of not knowing what needed to be done and when. She had excellent communication with both the vendors and with us. She was extremely thorough and detail oriented which ensured nothing fell through the cracks. On the day of the wedding she was a God send. She handled everything with ease. We got married at Bel Air Bay Club and you would never know that she had never done a wedding there before. We could not recommend her and KB events more!!! -

Professional, Organized, and Experienced. How lucky we are to have had Katie and Adam plan our wedding. They guided us on an eleven month journey, from our first time meeting to our wedding day, and catered to us every chance they could along the way. I am forever thankful for their time and dedication. -

10/10 - Thank you KB Events!
Katie and Adam are a dynamic duo. They helped bring my wedding vision to life and if I were to go back in time, I'd choose their services again.
I live in a different state than where I got married which made me nervous to plan a wedding, but Katie and Adam alleviated any concerns that I had. They were fast and responsive and helped answer all of my questions via email or call. The wedding day was smooth and they ensured that we were fed and hydrated throughout the entire evening. They coordinated everything with the vendors and I didn't have to do a thing! I can't thank KB events enough. Thank you for being part of such a special moment of my life. -

Sara Sent on 04/24/2024Best Wedding Planner in Montecito
Hannah and the KB Events team were incredible to work with and our wedding went flawlessly start to finish with everything in her hands at the Rosewood in Montecito. We hired the team 1+ year before as an end planner, but Hannah stepped in right from the beginning staying organized on our contracts, vendors, available for all questions, pushing timeline reminders to us, and helping introduce recommendations as needed. She stayed positive the entire process, volunteered her time to come to our tasting and walk through in advance, and took over full control the wedding day. She was responsive, proactive on all vendor needs, and needless to say we were able to be fully present and enjoy our day with our vision and details in her hands. -

Ron Sent on 04/06/2024The Right Professional Wedding/Event Team for a Unique Ranch Venue!
We recently had the pleasure to work with the KB Events team, engaged as the wedding planners, for an event held at our ranch in Carpinteria. Owners Katie and Adam were incredible planners and managers of every detail as they created a flawless wedding event. The ranch is unique with several creek crossings and unique characteristics that might otherwise make an event for nearly 300 people challenging, but KB worked with all their vendors, professionally directing every detail of the event to perfection! The newly weds indicated to me that it was an event beyond their greatest expectation! This husband-wife team together with their assistant, were hands-on and a true delight to work with and we look forward to having them back as wedding/event planners for more events at The Rincon Creek Ranch! -

Best Wedding Ever Thanks to KB Events!
We are so thankful to have worked with KB Events for our winter wedding! I come from experience in the events industry and have had the privilege of working with KB Events in the past - they are fantastic vendors to work with. When it came time for my own wedding, I knew exactly who would be the perfect planning team for our day. Katie and Adam are kind hearted people with a passion for weddings. Their organization, critical thinking, and diligent responses were beyond appreciated during the planning stages. When it came down to hard decisions to make and last minute weather changes, we felt so comfortable with KB Events handling those decisions for us. Our wedding day couldn’t have gone any better without the help from this team. If you want to feel stress free the days leading up to your wedding, I highly recommend hiring a planner, especially KB Events. We are forever grateful. -

Hannah Sent on 12/19/2023KB Events makes dreams come true!
Katie, Adam and the KB Events team made our dreams come true.
When my now-husband (!) and I decided to get married in California - where I’m originally from and where my family still lives - we were daunted by the prospect of planning a wedding from the other side of the country (we live on the East Coast). That trepidation dissipated as soon as we contacted KB Events.
We had talked to a few other individuals and companies in the early stages of exploring the possibility of hiring planners to help with our wedding. None of them treated us with the care and respect that Katie and Adam did when we first spoke with them, before we had even signed a contract. We knew they were really something special when, in the time between my inquiry email and our introductory call with them, they had already managed to place a soft hold on our first choice venue, on our first choice date - a venue that to this point, we had not been able to get ahold of! They made us feel like their only clients - a theme that carried through until our wedding day. They listened to what we were looking to do and offered ways to make it happen. Katie and Adam prioritized taking our ideas and making them a reality. I really wanted to highlight the charm of Santa Barbara with our wedding details, and the final result was better than I could have ever imagined (the lemons! The olive oil! The TROLLEY!)
Katie and Adam laid out a timeline for all the key milestones we would need to hit leading up to our wedding, accounting for every major (venue, date, florist) and minor (silverware selection, placement of napkins) detail. They served as the primary point of contact for each of our vendors, which paved the way for us to spend less time fretting about administrative details and more time making decisions.
The best compliment I can give Katie and Adam is that, throughout the 18 months we worked with them to plan our wedding, we never once felt stressed. They were proactive to keep us on deadline and help us stay ahead of budgeting, which allowed us to enjoy every aspect of the wedding planning process – something we recognize not everyone can say about their wedding planning experience.
It may sound cheesy, but we consider Katie and Adam our friends now, and we can’t wait to continue bugging them to hang out with us whenever we’re in town. -

Katie and Adam were absolutely wonderful to work with in the process of planning our wedding! They were incredibly professional, kind, and such a calming presence during the whole process. They made our wedding day flow absolutely seamlessly and I received so many comments from family and friends about how easy they made everything feel. They made sure our event was executed perfectly, were on top of every vendor, and gave us incredible suggestions throughout the process. They also continued to check in throughout the wedding day to ensure we were taken care of and feeling good! They are also extremely knowledgeable about Santa Barbara and made me feel so at ease. I can't thank them or recommend working with them enough!! -

Simply the best - hire them now!
KB Events is hands down simply the best! We were planning a destination wedding in Santa Barbara and after my first phone call with Katie I immediately called my fiancé and told him I found our wedding planners. We worked with Hannah to plan our wedding and she was a dream. She answered our emails immediately, followed up with any questions or requests we had and made this Type A bride feel completely understood and at ease. Although we worked with Hannah almost exclusively, Katie and Adam were also there to help or answer questions if we needed them. They work as an amazing team and made our event go off without any issues (or if there were issues I didn’t know about them). If you’re still reading this review and haven’t hired KB Events stop reading immediately and go hire them now! My only regret is not hiring them for the full wedding planning process, they are worth it! -

Angelina Sent on 09/02/2023A stellar team that made our wedding day perfect!
We can not say enough wonderful things about Katie and Adam with KB Events. Aside from just being gracious people, they are absolutely the best team we could have ever chosen to work with. My husband and I had pretty busy lives as it was so the thought of planning a destination wedding was very overwhelming. Admittedly we procrastinated quite a bit but KB Events is so dialed in and organized on another level that they kept us on track and enabled us to create the most perfect day. They truly helped to alleviate so much stress that we were able to work through all the nuances and details that comes with wedding planning without any added gray hair. Katie and Adam far exceeded our expectations. From the very beginning they were exceptional with their communication and recommendations, they helped us manage our budget, vendor coordination (which is a profession in itself), and created the most detailed day of wedding timeline I could have imagined. And one of my personal favorite things about them being a husband and wife team is that they both offer different insights, advice and ideas that really helped us pull together our vision. They are true professionals and great at what they do.I think it speaks volumes that if there were any disasters the day of the wedding whether it was design flaws, issues with vendors or guests, food, or even the crazy windy day we had, we still have no idea. The day went off without a hitch. Katie and Adam are the best and made our day simply perfect.

I cannot recommend KB Events enough! Katie and Adam joined our wedding process at the beginning and made the whole thing not only manageable but fun! They found a way to guide us while still championing our personal style.

Seriously, they are absolutely amazing and a joy to get to know! Hire them!!! -

HANDS DOWN -- BEST wedding planning team in Santa Barbara!
The team at KB Events are the BEST wedding planners you could ever ask for to plan your wedding.
From the planning-side, they are responsive, organized, good at keeping you on track, and very well connected to the vendor community in Santa Barbara. We've had vendors immediately agree to work with us because we have KB Events as our planner!
On the execution side, they are very thorough and thoughtful in their approach to making sure you have the best event you and your guests could ever ask for. From having the opportunity to stage our table setting beforehand, to the venue walk through that they organize for all our vendors, to the video sessions where we went through every single detail of our wedding with them, and countless other examples, every step of the way we felt very well taken care of.
I can't tell you the number of guests that have told us that our wedding was one of the best that they've ever been to (seamless, clearly well organized, beautiful, etc.), and it all wouldn't have been possible without Hannah, Katie & the rest of the team at KB Events. Without hesitation I will recommend the team to everyone I know that is looking for a wedding event planner. -

Patrick Sent on 07/30/2023Dynamic Elegance Perfected by KB Events
Katie and Adam from KB Events were the wedding planners for our wedding at Hotel Californian in Santa Barbara, CA. We cannot express enough how grateful we are for their patience, availability, and attention to detail that they both brought throughout the planning process. They were always so responsive to our questions and requests, and they went above and beyond to make sure that our wedding day was perfect.
//
They were always on top of things, and they made sure that our vendors were also aware of our specific needs. This made us feel confident that everything would be taken care of on the day of the wedding. One of the things that we appreciated most about KB Events was their ability to follow up with our vendors to communicate our preferences/adjustments and ensure that everything was running smoothly. One of many examples of this was Adam working with the vendors to get our hedges just right to optimize the ambience and privacy of our cocktail hour.
//
KB Events created a relaxed and organized flow for our wedding day. This allowed us to enjoy our wedding day without having to worry about anything. A small example highlighting this was Katie ensuring that we had a private moment to pause, eat and drink between the end of the ceremony and joining the cocktail reception with our guests.
//
We are so grateful to Katie and Adam for all of their hard work and dedication in planning our wedding. They were an absolute pleasure to work with, and they made our wedding day truly memorable.
//
In summary, Katie and Adam went above and beyond for us:
They helped us to find the perfect vendors for our wedding, and they negotiated or communicated requests on our behalf; they created a detailed timeline for our wedding day, and they made sure that everything was on track; they handled all of the behind-the-scenes details, so that we could focus on enjoying our wedding day; they were always available to answer our questions and address our concerns; they went out of their way to make sure that our wedding day was perfect.
//
We would highly recommend KB Events to anyone who is planning a wedding. They are professional, organized, and they have a great eye for detail. They will make sure that your wedding day is everything you have ever dreamed of. -

Drew Sent on 05/25/2023KB Events is the right choice!
Katie and Adam were the rock and foundation of our entire planning process from when we found them! Our wedding day would have not been possible without them. We had the day of planner package, but they gave us calls and meeting when we needed them. They'd responded to our questions quickly when we had them,. They gave us recommendations of vendors for that were within our budget, and took over communications with them before the wedding. They made timelines for us and worked through all the fine details of the day. On Wedding day, they made sure everything was taken care of for set up and ensured all of our personnel items we provided were set up. They made sure we ate, and ensured we stayed on time for the next event of the evening. They were calm and helped us stay calm on the last minute changes that came up day of the wedding. It was amazing to let our guest know that we were taken care of the day of the wedding and that if they had a question, they could ask the wedding planners. All of this to say, they made the wedding planning process so much better and less stressful, and day of we did not have to worry about a thing! You should consider this amazing team for your wedding! -

Katie and Adam are 10-star wedding planners. We recently hosted our wedding at the SB Courthouse followed by an evening at El Paseo for 110 friends and family and it went without issue. To every question their answer is: yes, we'll make it happen; and they do. When we wanted lion dancers, boom, they know a group. When I wanted to celebrate birthdays at the wedding, Katie responded: how many candles. They know Santa Barbara, they know the vendors, they know the good and the bad of each space. They communicate with clarity. They are consummate pros and I recommend them without reservation. Please ask Katie and Adam for my contact info if you'd like to talk further. -

Dylan Sent on 05/05/2023Book them now!
Our advice is simple! Don't wait another second to lock in Katie and Adam for your wedding.
We booked their full-service option and can't say enough good things about our journey with KB Events. From our initial consultation in December 2021 to our wedding in April 2023, Katie and Adam were with us every step of the way for 16 months. We got married at Alisal Ranch in Solvang, CA, and the wealth of experience that KB Events brought to the table – both behind the scenes and with all the moving pieces that are in a wedding – always made us feel supported. We are so grateful to have found them.
Katie and Adam are incredibly responsive – not only to your communications (we sent them hundreds of emails, and every single one got a timely response) but also to your vision of your big day. Katie and Adam never stopped listening to us, adapting to our (many) changes and requests, or working tirelessly to ensure our wedding went smoothly (which it did, thanks to them).
What's more, Katie and Adam are kind, patient, and calm (qualities that could not have been more valuable throughout this process), extremely detail-oriented, and simply wonderful to talk and plan with. They consistently lowered our blood pressure, and we looked forward to every conversation with them as a result.
Partnering with Katie and Adam was the single best decision we made since choosing to get married. We hope you get to go on the same sort of journey with them as we did. -

KB Events is first class. If I could give them 10 stars, I would. Katie and Adam perfectly executed our wedding at the Rosewood Miramar in Montecito, and I do not have enough words to express my gratitude. Our wedding rehearsal and wedding was absolutely seamless and perfect. Katie and Adam were attentive, extremely polite, professional and always one step ahead. They made excellent decisions on the day of our wedding when changes had to be made, and always kept me up to date, and did it so delicately. My grandmother suddenly passed during our rehearsal ceremony and Katie and Adam were there for me and my family. They are true humans with extremely large hearts. With them by our side, it made such a tough day easier for me any my family. Katie and Adam are also excellent storytellers. The next morning I woke up to a beautiful montage of pictures and videos that they shared with me from our special day, which brought a smile during a very difficult time for me.
I highly recommend them for your event and know you will be in perfect hands. -

Katie and Adam were the wedding planner dream team. Thanks to KB events, our special day went off without a hitch. The "month of" coordinating package we chose comes with so much more than help during the final month alone. Katie and Adam set us up with planning resources, a wedding day timeline, and were there to answer our questions all along the way. They're incredibly professional and experienced. They helped us work through a last-minute DJ cancellation, set up our decor flawlessly, and Katie had a safety pin ready to go immediately when my dress strap broke during some especially enthusiastic dancing during the reception.
You'll be in great hands with KB! -

It was an absolute 10/10 experience working with Katie and Adam!! We decided on their partial planning package and felt SO taken care of through the entire process. They executed our vision to a T, thinking of the smallest details but also deftly handling our very enthusiastic crowd the day of. They helped pick all of our vendors for us, provided us with an incredibly detailed to-do list, kept us on time for everything, offered creative solutions to any problems that came up, helped me shop for the small details (guestbook, signage, etc), and took over all vendor communication for us a few months prior to the wedding.
A few of the other vendors even commented on how organized kb events are - their reputation precedes them! Our venue was the opposite of all inclusive (ie - bring your own restrooms, trash, heaters, catering kitchen, etc.) and they made it all so manageable. Their timeline became our BIBLE in the weeks leading up to the big day, and they absolutely nailed execution of all of our plans the day of (champagne tower, setting up escort cards, adjusting tables so we had more room for dancing, etc.) You will love working with them! -

The best. Katie and Adam were the very first people we talked to about helping create our Wedding Weekend and it wouldn't have been amazing without them. KB Events helped us for 18 months plan our Santa Barbara wedding with extra communication as we live in Texas. Almost every vendor we went with was one of their recommendations (and were all fantastic). They provide all the visionary, heart-warming conversations you think about when you begin wedding planning, and back it up with extremely detailed communication, to the minute timelines, budget tracking, etc. On the day of, it was bliss. We didn't worry about a single thing, they had it all covered. Simply cannot recommend them enough. If you're reading this, I'm sure you have other options, but you can also choose KB Events and never look back. -

Best planners ever! Katie and Adam were a pleasure to work with. They helped us figure out what we wanted and recommended amazing vendors for our budget. Planning a wedding is a ton of work but KB events took a ton of the stress out of it. They were super easy to talk to and very responsive throughout the entire planning process They made helpful suggestions when we were indecisive and helped guide us through everything. One the day of the wedding they made sure everything went super smoothly and they did so much it felt like they were in three places at once. We could not have pulled off the best night of our lives (so far) without their help. -

Katie, Adam, and the whole KB Events team were by far the best decision we made in our entire wedding process. Not only are they the kindest and most enjoyable family to work with, but they also helped simplify the planning process immensely, listening to our vision and executing on it flawlessly. They were always available to us to discuss the ups and downs of planning a wedding during COVID, to provide counsel on a few difficult vendor situations, and to execute on an immensely complex and detailed schedule on the day of our wedding. They brought us so much peace of mind, making them worth their weight in gold! Look no further, KB Events is the team for you! -

What an honor, joy, and privilege it was to have Katie and Adam plan and execute the wedding of our dreams!!! We are a COVID couple, and had to completely move our entire wedding from May 2020 to May 2021 with little lead time. Katie and Adam were PHENOMENAL throughout the entire process, calmly and confidently contacting every vendor (13 in total) and rescheduling them all to the new date. It is impossible to express what an amazing job they did, and we sure hope that they will be available to help our friends and family plan future weddings. We are so incredibly grateful and blown away by their work, and consider them to be good friends after all that we went through over the 2.5 year planning process. Any couple would be LUCKY to have them plan their big day!! -

Katie and Adam of KB Events leave no stone unturned! They not only pay close attention to detail, but are also a dream to work with. They are experts in the field of planning events and they are kind and wonderful people. Win Win!! I own a live music agency. There are a lot of moving parts during any special event: From choosing a venue, linens, florals, etc. And when you add the live music aspect, there’s a whole other set of moving parts. They get it! They make it happen! You can rest easy when you hire KB Events for your Wedding, Corporate Party, or Fundraiser. Look no further. You will be happy you chose Katie and Adam to design, organize, and run the show. -

Do yourself a favor and hire KB Events for your wedding! You will be so glad you did. My husband and I had our hearts set on getting married in Santa Barbara, but were hesitant about planning a destination wedding because of all the details and logistics to be planned from afar. But after our first meeting with Katie and Adam, we knew we were in good hands. They recommended amazing vendors, provided us with organizational and budgeting tools, kept in frequent touch, and were always available for questions.
KB Events never missed a beat throughout the planning process, even when the world fell apart around us due to COVID. Our wedding plans changed several times throughout our engagement, and Katie and Adam were there every step of the way, ready to adjust as needed. Our big day ended up a lot smaller than we had initially planned, but it was an intimate, magical, and oh-so-romantic weekend.
Not only are Katie and Adam true professionals, but they are also some of the kindest people you will ever meet. Event planning is their business, but it’s clear that it’s what they love to do. My husband and I will be forever grateful for all that they did to make our wedding weekend unforgettable! -

Could not have had a better experience! This team was professional, knowledgeable, kind, not pushy, and a joy to work with. I'm so happy we were lucky enough to work with them and highly recommend Courtney and Katie!! My husband and I got married in Solvang in September and the entire event went smoothly and better than we could have ever imagined. Worth every penny! -

The best!
Katie and Adam are absolutely incredible and if you are looking for a wedding planner you should contact them immediately! I already recommended KB Events to a friend who is getting married in July 2020 and I can't wait to attend that wedding as a guest to enjoy all of their wonderful planning! I am a very organized person and have a project management capacity in my own career, and I was extremely impressed with Katie and Adam's skills in providing information and managing all the steps leading up to the wedding and then coordinating every last detail of our vision on the actual day. During the planning phase, my husband and I really appreciated KB Event's suggestions for carefully vetted and experienced vendors. I felt like Katie and Adam really got to know our personality and style and they suggested vendors that were a perfect match. We had so many compliments on our wedding officiant, flowers, music, visual design, hair and makeup and these were all suggestions from Katie and Adam. Their entire process is fantastic and the aspect that really meant the most to us is that they made sure we had fun and were able to be present to enjoy everything that we had planned. I constantly hear married couples saying that their wedding was a blur and they didn't get to eat much of the food or have time to enjoy the aspects of the wedding, and Katie and Adam made sure we got to do it all. They were on top of everything- it was absolutely seamless and we couldn't have had a better experience! Thank you! -

Katie and Adam with KB Events made our special day so amazing. We got married at Ocean View Farm in Carpinteria on 9/28/19. The venue was a blank slate in the sense that we were able to bring in all of our own vendors and decor! Katie and Adam helped with every step along the way from timeline, shuttle logistics, to decor and they were always available to answer my questions. Our day ended up exactly as we visualized, and that was in huge part to Adam and Katie. If you’re looking for wedding coordinators that are easy to work with and organized, then KB Events are your people! Thanks Katie & Adam! -

I was on the fence about hiring a wedding coordinator, but I am so happy that I found and hired Katie and Adam of KB Events. From our first point of contact with them through the end of our wedding reception, I was extremely impressed by their professionalism, organization, responsiveness and knowledge. We had interviewed a few other coordinators and chose KB Events because they were really committed to our vision and how we wanted things to go. Our wedding had some logistical puzzles due to being on a boat, and they helped us figure everything out in a way that didn't compromise (and actually enhanced!) our vision. They really start from a place of "How can we make this work?" instead of "Here's why this won't work." Katie especially was a real partner throughout the planning process. Even though we hired her for end planning and day of coordination, she was always quickly available to give feedback on our ideas, answer questions, and jump in when we had some trouble with other vendors. We had selected most of our vendors by the time we hired Katie and Adam, but those that they did connect us with were amazing. Katie's support and responsiveness throughout the planning process alleviated so much stress and made it much more enjoyable for us. And as for the actual wedding (August 2019), from our perspective, everything ran so smoothly and there were no issues that we ever found out about, and we have to attribute that to Katie and Adam's calm and organized presence. Katie and Adam, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping make our wedding so special! I would have been a big ball of stress without you! -

Look No Further
KB Events hats off to you! The best wedding coordinators a bride and groom could ask for! From the very beginning you made us feel comfortable and throughout the planning process kept our minds at ease. Chad and I were engaged for over a year before deciding a wedding was for us, but once we committed to the idea it was Katie and Adam who really helped bring our vision to reality. From securing the event rentals, organizing vendors, figuring out the ceremony music and sound, they were there to walk us through every step. We are so thankful for KB Events. They brought the talent and we were able to really have the time of our lives. Everything from top to bottom was so well orchestrated there was absolutely nothing to think about other than each other. When the wedding day arrives this is the team you want on your side! -

I found KB Events on Instagram and set up a call with Katie and Adam shortly after getting engaged. I was anxious about planning a wedding from across the country but they completely put my mind at ease. The KB Events team is well-connected to everyone in the business in Santa Barbara and gave me fantastic vendor recommendations. They were extremely responsive and reliable and made sure I was in the loop at all times. I loved that they were willing to execute whatever my vision was within my budget while also giving their honest recommendations. Our wedding went off without a hitch and it wouldn't have been possible without the entire KB Events team, who kept things running smoothly from rehearsal day to the end of my reception. I also had my ceremony and reception in two different locations and having multiple people on hand to ensure things were going smoothly in both locations was great. I highly recommend booking them for one of their longer-term planning options. -

Keith Sent on 04/30/2019Excellent eye to detail
Let me just start by saying Katie and Adam are amazing! They thought of everything... their attention to detail is IMPECCABLE. Every thing was spot on and more than I could have ever imagined. She worked with all of the vendors to create a perfect venue. I can’t thank them enough! Highly recommend!!! -

Rebecca Sent on 12/29/2017I am a very detail oriented person and I love to host events, have been for most of my life. Katie's abilities far surpassed my own and she asked me important questions I had not even considered, a complete life saver. I don't know what I would have done without her help planning; with all of her experience she was invaluable. She is so creative and able to really make your ideas become reality.
On the day of our large wedding she was magical. There's no way as the bride I could have been everywhere to check every detail or fix any last minute snafus and with Katie I didn't need to be because she was there making sure everything was perfect already. I was able to relax and enjoy my time with family and friends knowing the details were in competent hands. Katie is also a pleasure to work with, so calm and professional. I plan to use her for future events as well. I cannot recommend her services enough. She is the safety net every bride/host needs to ensure everyone has a great time and that you don't lose your mind. -

Jaimie Sent on 10/16/2023A joy to work with; so detail-oriented & organized
KB Events was such a joy to work with!! We were so thrilled with our collaboration with them.
After having to separate from another wedding planner due to her lack of organization and accountability, we started working with Hannah, Katie, and Adam a little bit into our planning. I was a nervous wreck because of how poorly things went with our initial planner, and was so anxious about finding the right fit who could help us.
And trust me when I say that KB Events absolutely blew me away. If you are looking for incredibly organized, super supportive, patient, and respectful planners, KB is for you. Their extreme attention to detail was exactly what I needed to feel taken care of. All of their emails were so thorough, easy to read, and just always made me feel like they were on top of their game. They were also very responsive in their emails in terms of how long it took for them to get back to you.
And if you’re a bride who has a lot of questions… who is quite particular or has a lot of opinions… or who just is very detail-oriented and Type A herself about to-do lists and timelines… KB gets it. They were always SO respectful and professional in their communications, even if I was badgering them with questions or concerns. If ever I found a discrepancy or mentioned a mistake I noticed, they never got defensive or deflective (something we experienced with the other initial planner)... they always acknowledged any mistake (which was rare), apologized, took accountability, and fixed it. They always showed up with smiles on their faces and never once came off as stressed out or overworked. Each call/meeting/engagement with them was personal - they were always focused and prepared. They provided amazing to-do lists and timelines and took initiative on setting up meetings with vendors.
Even on things that were outside of their “responsibilities,” they were so supportive and helpful. I had a wedding dress emergency, and they responded right away. My husband had a tie emergency, and they got back to us outside of work hours and offered to get a package delivered to their home. The thing I really appreciated about Katie, Hannah, and Adam is that I really trusted them and I genuinely liked them. They are such caring and fun people!
KB might charge a bit more than some other options on here, but for us it was worth the peace of mind. My husband and I could not be happier with the planning of our wedding and the wedding itself! It was the most magical, dreamy, perfect weekend and we are so grateful to KB Events for helping us pull it off!
