“I would have lost my mind without Chelsea and her team to help us through the difficulties of planning a wedding. She is truly in love with her craft and strives to make sure you are content in every way. We couldn’t have pulled off everything we did without them and thank them from the bottom of our hearts. If you’re looking for an amazing wedding planner then rest assured that your search can begin and end right here with Chelsea and BTO Events!“

Meet Our Founder

chelsea gaytan, black tie optional founder and wedding planner during her Arizona wedding

When our founder Chelsea was planning her wedding to Fernando, they were adamant about their day being off-the-beaten-path. They wanted something intimate, in an unexpected location, that really showed off Arizona's stunning landscapes. It was important that the entire weekend be thoughtfully designed with the guest experience in mind from start to finish. Chelsea created BTO to give couples from all over the world the same design-centric experience, so they can immerse themselves in the pure joy of their wedding day, instead of the stresses of planning it.
