Bella Baxter Special Events -

I could not recommend Katherine, and the Bella Baxter Team, more highly! As a type A, former event planner, I knew I needed a wedding planner that would bring my wedding to life while letting me be a part of the process as much as I wished. Katherine did all that and more! She was a saving grace through the entire planning process, was thoughtful to ensure our budget was used smartly, and fielded not only planning calls, but “I’m stressed” calls from me and my mom. I’m forever thankful to Katherine for brining our dream wedding to life and being the best to work with!

Leslie was there for me through every step of the way. She and the rest of the Bella Baxter team went above and beyond to ensure that my day was perfect and according to my vision. Leslie and I met frequently and she was very easy to get ahold of. She took care of my timeline, vendor communication, and setting up/taking down my event space. She helped me design the event space and was always available with a solution when things did not go according to plan. I truly cannot recommend them enough.

Bella Baxter Events is absolutely AMAZING. Leslie was my planner and I could not have asked for a more helpful, knowledgeable, organized, and kind wedding planner.

I was planning from out of state but Leslie still found a way to fit into my crazy travel schedule and was always willing to zoom about things.

If details can be overwhelming for you, the Bella Baxter ladies have you covered! They were there when I was overwhelmed and needed help narrowing down my vision, but they were equally on board for the few hyper specific things I knew I wanted. They recommended absolutely excellent vendors and I could not have had such an amazing day without them

I cannot recommend them enough! (pictured are photos from the photographer they helped me book)

With Bella Baxter Events, Katherine + Co are the best of THE BEST. I can not speak highly enough of their professionalism and honestly this group is OUTSTANDING in the field of event planning. Katherine was an event planner, a sort of maid of honor, therapist and laborer all rolled into one awesome human. She made our wedding look and feel like it was 100x more expensive than it was, reassured every single one of my concerns (which with her were far and few between if any), and made sure that my fiancé's voice and my voice were heard throughout this whole process (and believe me, wedding planning is a PROCESS- no matter how big or small). We had a church ceremony followed by an outdoor tented reception and Katherine and her crew handled the craziness of lawn care, transportation, lighting, catering, generators, plumbing, etc. (aka putting together a wedding from SCRATCH) like it was no big deal. I had ZERO stress the week of my wedding or on the actual day of my wedding which is rare, and its all thanks to Katherine and her team for their tireless and completely organized efforts. A lot of couples say "take me back" when it comes to their weddings, and now so do I thanks to Katherine! I wish I could go back, do it all again, just to see her bring the most beautiful wedding from nothing to life. With Katherine as my wedding planner, I was able to say "whatever Katherine thinks is best" and completely defer to her judgement on a lot of things, and I was never disappointed. Our guests were blown away and are still talking about the food, the cake, the band, the atmosphere, the design, the flowers, the everything! You will not regret using her! Katherine, David, EVERYONE who works for BBE, if you are reading this- you are amazing! You made my wedding unforgettable, so enjoyable, and more beautiful than I think anyone else could have done it. I appreciate y'all and I hope your other clients know how special y'all are!

Hiring Katherine Benson with Bella Baxter Special Events was the best decision made in planning my daughter’s and son-in-law’s wedding. Katherine and Leslie were always a pleasure to work with. They always responded immediately to our questions and ideas with great suggestions and advice. They kept us on point and made the planning enjoyable and stress free. Everything from the ceremony to the reception went so smoothly. Katherine has great relationships with all the various venders we choose. This is a huge factor in tying the event all together. What a wonderful evening full of precious memories! I would gladly recommend Bella Baxter to all my friends!

We hired Katherine to plan our dream wedding at Moss Mountain Farms in Roland, AR. We hired her 6 months in advance. She took care of everything - we just had to answer questions about what we wanted. She listened to what we wanted and showed us multiple options. The vendors she recommended were first rate. We ended up having to delay the ceremony due to Covid-19. She was instrumental in notifying vendors and staying on top of the changes. She also coordinated our special day and it went off like a dream. This service was worth every penny we paid for it. We highly recommend Bella Baxter Special Events for your wedding planning and coordination.

BBSE was one of the best decisions we made towards planning our wedding day.

We had to changed our wedding plans multiple times (including the date, location, vendors) throughout COVID19. Each time Katherine and Leslie made the process as painless as possible coordinating with all of our vendors and ensuring every detail of our wedding was taken care of. They listened to our wedding day vision and made it all come true. BBSE was professional, organized, and creative during every step in our wedding planning process.

Without Katherine and Bella Baxter Events, I would not have been able to have the magical wedding that I will cherish forever. Their expertise was crucial for choosing the amazing venders that we had and for coordinating every single detail. There are so many minute details to planning a wedding and Katherine synthesizes all the components with ease to make the experience digestible, organized, and fun. I really appreciated that all it took was providing her with a couple words (such as 'romantic' and 'elegant') and a link to my Pinterest for her to create a vision that exceeded even my expectations. I also appreciated her helpful advice and constructive feedback (such as rank photographers based on style and not price) throughout the process. To sume up, Katherine was indispensable and priceless. My advice to all future brides will be to hire a wedding planner, specifically Bella Baxter.
