It all started the way the best things do — without a plan.

We’re Kate and Kate, two friends who found ourselves constantly dreaming up ways to make every gathering a little more special. First it was our own celebrations, then our friends asked for help, then friends of friends — and somewhere along the way we realized: this is exactly what we’re meant to do.

Together, we’re the perfect pair. One Kate brings the creative spark — overflowing with ideas, an eye for beauty, and the ability to dream up something magical from nothing. The other brings the structure — sharp analytical thinking, detailed planning, and the calm confidence that every last detail will be exactly right. Between the two of us, nothing falls through the cracks — and nothing feels ordinary.

We don’t just plan events. We pour our hearts into every detail — the right flowers, the perfect setup, the moment when someone walks in and their eyes light up. That feeling never stops inspiring us.

By The Kates was born from pure love for bringing people together. Based in Los Angeles, we specialize in intimate, soulful gatherings — from picnics at sunset to baby showers, bachelorettes, proposals, and birthdays that actually feel like you.

If you’re ready to celebrate something beautiful, we’d love to make it happen — together.
