Back Patio Event Design

Growing up, we learned one very important lesson from our families. Surrounding yourself with the love of family and friends is irreplaceable. Where we're from, gatherings and celebrations always took place on the back patio. Here everyone felt welcomed and loved + never wanted the day to end. We bring that same spirit to every one of our events here at Back Patio Event Design and we hope to do the same for you. Together, we have event experience in hospitality, private membership clubs, and retail. With combined education focused on hospitality, marketing, business, and event management, we love applying our skills to all types of events.

Laura Harrelson: With a passion for live music, fashion, design, and organization, I love bringing together creative outings and fun event ideas. Whether I'm planning a night out with my husband and friends to see a live band, or back on the East Coast helping my parents with family gatherings, planning is always at the forefront. Kayla Portillo: A childhood full of BBQs at my grandparents' farm, church socials, and regular gatherings with family + friends are some of my fondest memories of growing up. Be it an intimate tea party for my daughter or a three-day wedding event, all gatherings are dear to my heart.
