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 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 :)
