Hi, We Are BBSE!

Bella Baxter Special Events (that's BBSE!) began in the winter of 2010 with a handful of confetti and the small idea that events should be stress free, have personality, and that people should have as good of a time planning them as they do at the actual party. We are dedicated to the idea of weddings truly reflecting the personalities and love story of our couples and that our clients should receive the best service possible.

We believe in concierge service, custom feel, and that you are not your budget. And MOST of all, we believe that our clients should actually get to enjoy and participate in their parties and events.

After all, it's a celebration, it should be FUN! And we must be doing something right, because these little ideas caught on in a big way. Bella Baxter Events is proud to have had weddings and events featured in: Arkansas Bride, Southern Bride, British Vogue, The New York Times, Style Me Pretty, Muna Luchi, 100 Layer Cake, and many more fabulous publications!

We are custom designers, serious organizers, etiquette experts, logistics geniuses, chef foodies, cheerleaders for our clients, fun party people, the ultimate project managers, and really fun too!

So let's chat, because we would love to celebrate with you!

Cheers,

Katherine & Leslie 🖤
