We create celebrations you will be proud to host.

Table with flowers around it

Every detail of your day has been orchestrated with intent, deliberately designed to feel entirely representative of you. And when the party is over, the guests have gone home, and the space has returned to its original state, that momentary feeling stays with you.

The planning process begins with Kate welcoming you to her office on Union Street in San Francisco or meeting for an intimate conversation at your home, where she will get to know everything that inspires you. Details like the city where you met your fiancé, a tradition from your annual family vacation, or a dessert you enjoyed at your grandparents’ home all help capture the essence of your personality and form the foundation for your one-of-a-kind event.

Our clients trust us to create memorable events and weddings, so they can focus on the moments that matter.

Kate connects all the pieces for a seamless experience from start to finish, making sure you have time to relax and enjoy yourself along the way. She is right by your side for everything from selecting the perfect catering team, to creating a tablescape centered around your favorite color combination, to designing a dance floor your guests will never forget. Kate designs every element of your event just for you, and collaborates with the region’s finest vendors to transform your ideas into reality. She always sets expectations, clearly outlines costs, and solicits your approval before anything is executed.

While you’re listening to your best friend give a heartfelt speech, Kate is coordinating a surprise flash mob or reproducing the finale of your all-time favorite movie. Her distinct ability to make your celebration feel incredibly personal not only means you and your guests will have an exceptional time, but leads to relationships and friendships that last a lifetime. Kate is an event designer and wedding planner based in San Francisco, California.

We seamlessly align every moment of your event, creating a one-of-a-kind narrative that feels entirely reflective of you.

Custom Coca-Cola Nostalgia San Francisco Wedding

After the cake had been cut, and a surprise flash-mob electrified the dance floor, we served Francesca and Christopher’s guests with custom-printed mini “Mr. or Mrs. Carozza” Coca-Cola bottles. Each guest could make their own ice cream float, which was an homage to the Bride’s late grandfather — who every Saturday night would always serve his grandkids an individual Coca-Cola float. Kate’s clients trust her to create memorable events, so they are able to focus on the moments that matter.

Classic Cinema
Comes To Life Wedding

Pamela, our bride, loved the classic movie Sabrina, so we made the Legion of Honor tent feel like an outdoor garden. The background of the stage trellis was designed as an exact copy of the one in the movie. We added a subtle arch that was a perfect compliment to the camel-humped couches in the museum’s Rodin gallery.

Tetris-Inspired
80s Throwback Event

Our birthday boy was a big fan of retro games — including Tetris, Jenga, and Joust — so for his 40th, we decided to turn his home into an arcade-lover’s haven. We designed a special bar for the event using illuminated plexiglass and teal and purple “Tetris” pieces that formed a letter A, and every guest engraved a Jenga block to form a personalized set that commemorated the celebration.
