Meet Emily: SoCal to KC!
Emily K. Beddall (formerly Emily K. Bennett) is a professionally-trained Artist turned Event Designer, Planner and Coordinator.

Emily also worked as a coordinator for a local venue and gained invaluable knowledge at the biggest event rental company in Southern California.

She has planned and coordinated hundreds of weddings in California, Montana, Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, and Missouri. And has been in the industry professionally for more than 10 years.
After 12 years in SoCal, Emily has moved back to the Midwest for LOVE. The 2020 pandemic brought her the man of her dreams right here in Kansas City!
