Bailee Kearns
Founder and Lead Designer
The importance of sharing traditions and creating memories is significant to me. My parents run a farm business, and birthdays hold great meaning in our family. As a child, I observed my mother organizing elaborate birthday celebrations for all employees, inspiring me to do the same for loved ones and friends. I wanted to create the same happiness and lasting memories as my mother designed. In my senior year of college at Cal Poly Pomona, I collaborated with peers to operate a restaurant, managing marketing, and business plans at the Restaurant at Kellogg Ranch. While being a full-time student, I worked as a nanny, server at Red Lobster (R.I.P.) and Fry’s Electronics (another R.I.P.). After college, I worked for two unique and fun country clubs in Ventura County, California. Over many years at the clubs, I successfully coordinated, designed and planned many events from Baby Showers, Bridal Showers, Corporate Events, Member Holiday Events, Weddings, and Golf Tournaments. Every occasion is an opportunity to make lasting memories. Here at Bae Events, my team is passionate about creating unforgettable experiences. Whether you're planning a wedding, corporate event, or any special occasion, we've got you covered. We are dedicated planners and designers here to bring your vision to life. Let's make your event dreams a reality together!

We are beyond grateful to have had Bae Events as our day-of wedding coordinator! From the moment she arrived, she brought a calm, confident energy that immediately put us at ease. ...
The set-up was flawless — every detail was thoughtfully placed, and the entire space looked absolutely stunning. It was clear she had taken the time to understand our vision and brought it to life perfectly.
Even when things got hectic (as weddings often do!), she remained composed, organized, and always a step ahead. Her presence truly allowed us to relax and enjoy every moment, knowing everything was under control.
A huge thank-you also goes to Sheena, her incredible assistant, who was so kind, attentive, and supportive throughout the day. Together, they made the whole event run seamlessly.
If you’re considering Bae Events for your wedding, do it — you will be in the best hands!

Bailee was our perfect planner for our perfect day!!! 💕 From the very beginning (even before we officially hired her) she was incredibly helpful, generous with her time and so kno...
wledgeable. Since we were planning a destination wedding, we knew we wanted someone local who knew the area, knew what to look for, and had real experience working there. Bailee was exactly that and more!
Her response time was always quick and in the final weeks leading up to the wedding she communicated seamlessly with all of our vendors, which was such a huge relief off my shoulders. 😮💨
I’m very particular about details and placement and as someone who is very detail oriented and deeply invested in planning, Bailee made me feel completely supported and confident throughout the process. She never made me feel “too much” and always met my questions and ideas with reassurance and calm. 🤍
On wedding day - she was an absolute QUEEEEEEEEN. She knew exactly when to step in and when to tuck away, and I knew I could rely on her even when she wasn’t right next to me. I had complete trust in her from start to finish… and during our reception room reveal, my jaw LITERALLY hit the floor. Everything was flawless. Exactly what I had envisioned, but BETTER 🥹
So beyond thankful for Bailee and her team and cannot recommend her enough!! 🩷

Planning a wedding in Santa Barbara while living in New Jersey could have been stressful, but working with Bailee made the entire process feel effortless. From the very beginning, ...
she was incredibly helpful, organized, and super responsive, which meant so much to us since we were planning everything from across the country.
We finally met her in person on the day before the wedding, and she was exactly what we hoped for and more — warm, funny, easy to talk to, and just an overall amazing presence to have around. She made the day run so smoothly, handled every detail with total confidence, and went above and beyond in ways we didn’t even expect.
Our wedding day was perfect, and a huge part of that is thanks to Bailee. We’re genuinely grateful for everything she did and couldn’t recommend her more highly. If you’re getting married in Santa Barbara, you need Bailee on your team.

lee goes above & beyond for her clients and she really cares! She has such an amazing eye for detail, style, and honestly has superpowers! It felt like she read my (the bride’s) mind, especially when it came down to the design details and decor. She ensured everything ran smoothly and perfectly! So many of our guests commented on how perfect our wedding day was. There were truly no mishaps. It was such a perfect wedding day, and that is not something most people can say, and I thank Bailee for that. Most of all, having her support on a day where I was full of nerves was truly such a blessing. She had my back the whole time & made sure I felt comfortable & supported. Thank you so much Bailee, we are so lucky we had you on our special day! <3

We can't recommend Bailee enough—she was truly incredible.
She is incredibly organized and was constantly on top of everything; she is super quick to respond, incredibly thorough,...
and clearly experienced. We genuinely felt like she was everywhere all at once. Her focus on logistics made our day so much more enjoyable because she handled every unexpected curveball, including any last-minute guests or schedule changes, seamlessly. Even the day of, we kept saying how lucky we were to have her take care of any hiccups.
Beyond the flawless work, she has a great attitude and is just a fun, down-to-earth person to work with. If you need a planner you can fully rely on, trust her with any wedding or event. She was a total game-changer for us.

ator we spoke with a number of planners, and what we so appreciated about Bailee was that anything we wanted or were considering she was supportive of and figured out how to make work without judgement or stress. Bailee is so kind and professional, and everything went so smoothly on our wedding day and in the weeks leading up. If you need a coordinator for your wedding or event, Bailee is a great choice! We cannot recommend her enough.

she is just a lovely grounding person to have around on something as important as a wedding day. She doesn’t just put out fires, she is the type of wedding planner that ensured they never became fires in the first place. My husband and I will never stop recommending her to all of our family and friends looking for an incredible wedding planner/coordinator for weddings in SB!

eeded someone who was organized, knowledgeable, and calm under pressure. Bailee exceeded every expectation. Her communication was fantastic, always clear, prompt, and reassuring. She went above and beyond to help us find the right vendors, and her recommendations were spot on. From florist to officiant to venue, all of Bailee's recommendations were spot on based on our budget and style of the wedding.
On the day of the wedding, everything ran flawlessly, truly not a single hitch. The entire day was beautiful, smooth, and joyful, and so much of that is thanks to Bailee’s behind-the-scenes magic. Both sides of our family could not stop raving about her. She’s trustworthy, friendly, and incredibly skilled at what she does. We genuinely can’t say enough good things about her; Bailee made our wedding day better than we ever imagined.

d her. She thoroughly communicated with all the vendors so I no longer had to and made sure she was always available to answer any questions or concerns big or small. Bailee is extremely detail oriented and punctual. Her attention to detail amazed me, she created our wedding day timeline down to the minutes and made sure the vendors and bridal party each had a copy.
What I found to set Bae Events apart from any other wedding coordinator is that they understand the importance of building a relationship with their clientele. Bailee often felt like a friend and an advocate while remaining professional. My wedding planning and wedding day would not have ran as smooth and seamless as it did without Bae Events. I had no idea if anything went wrong on my wedding day because Bailee handled everything!
Bailee was a true blessing. Anyone that is planning a wedding or big event, I strongly recommend Bae Events. Thank you Bailee for helping to make my wedding day dream come true stress free!
