TAYLOR BETTS
OWNER, EVENT PLANNER & DESIGNER
At a young age, I realized my hospitality brought so much joy to people I love. I’ve actually been planning my birthday parties since I was eight, and I knew I wanted to create these beautiful experiences for everyone. Today, my eye for design and soul that sees beauty in every style help me create breathtaking moments for all kinds of people.
One of the sweetest parts of my job is building tight-knit relationships with clients. When I understand your vision, values, who you are as a couple or company, and your passions as individuals, I begin to see your dream event take shape. And after years of planning weddings, I still tear up every time I send a couple down the aisle to a life of love.
As an Austin-based planner, I’ve planned hundreds of local, domestic and international events and weddings. At SXSW, I worked as the lead client event coordinator and planned parties for Google, TikTok, HBO, and Paramount Pictures.
At the core, I’m a problem solver with a penchant for parties. I live life in the details, and I believe a personalized planning experience is the best way to give you complete peace of mind on your big day. Let's plan your dream event!
