Belle Haven Events Story

Our Story

Belle Haven Events was born from our shared love of creating meaningful moments and beautiful spaces.

We met in California and later made the move to Minnesota, bringing with us creative backgrounds shaped by storytelling, entertainment, and design. Katlynne's journey began in entertainment, working in acting and modeling, where she discovered a passion for hosting and creating experiences that bring people together. What started as a love for gathering quickly grew into an appreciation for the details that make moments feel truly special.

Chris, a professional video editor, stepped in to help with a few events along the way. Through capturing and supporting those experiences, he found joy in being part of the process, helping turn ideas into lasting memories and watching meaningful moments unfold in real time.

Together, we realized we shared the same vision: helping others create a beautiful space where memories are made. That vision became Belle Haven, with "Belle" meaning beautiful, and "Haven" representing a place of warmth, comfort, and celebration.

As we continue to grow, we're building toward a dream of opening our own venue, one that reflects the same care, creativity, and intentional design we bring to every event today. Until then, we bring the Belle Haven experience wherever your celebration takes place, creating spaces that feel welcoming, elevated, and unforgettable.

At every step, our goal is simple: to create moments that feel beautiful, personal, and truly yours.

Our Vision for the Future

Our dream has a shape now: a wedding venue of our own, on a piece of land where we can put down real roots. Not only a place we run, but a place we build our life around, with our own home on the same ground where we help other couples begin theirs.

We want to build something that lasts, something we pour our whole hearts into and can one day pass down to our family. Every wedding we're part of makes us more sure this is it. We love the couples, we love the work, and there's honestly no better feeling than hearing that a day we gave everything to went off without a hitch. Somewhere along the way we realized this is where we belong: in the room, present for it all, doing what we're built for.

We don't know every detail of what it will look like yet, and that's part of the excitement. What we know is the heart of it: a place, and a family, built around bringing people together for the moments that matter most. Until then, we bring that same devotion to every celebration we're trusted with, wherever your day takes place.

One of the best parts of photographing weddings is getting to work alongside incredible local vendors, and Belle Haven Events was exactly that. I had the pleasure of working with their team at a wedding at the Solar Arts Building in Minneapolis, MN. From the moment I arrived, they were warm, organized, and incredibly professional. They kept the wedding day running seamlessly while creating such a calm and joyful atmosphere for the couple and everyone involved. As a Minneapolis wedding and elopement photographer, having a wedding planner you can trust and communicate easily with makes such a difference. Belle Haven Events was wonderful to work alongside, and by the end of the night, they didn’t just feel like fellow Minneapolis wedding vendors, they felt like friends. If you’re looking for a Minneapolis wedding planner who genuinely cares about their couples, communicates beautifully, and helps create a stress-free wedding day, I can’t recommend Belle Haven Events enough. Thank you for making my first wedding such a positive experience. I hope Fern Vera Photography gets the opportunity to work alongside your team at another Minneapolis wedding soon!

We are so grateful we hired Belle Haven Events for our day-of wedding coordination! Katlynne was incredibly organized and detail-oriented throughout the planning process, making sure every detail was covered before the big day. After the wedding, I realized just how much she handled behind the scenes to keep everything running smoothly. She coordinated with all of our vendors, kept us on schedule (despite me running late as always!), solved any issues that came up, and made sure we never had to worry about a thing. Chris was amazing too as he always had water or another drink for my husband and me exactly when we needed it. Together, they helped with setup, packed everything up at the end of the night, and truly went above and beyond. I’ve attached a photo as proof of just how gorgeous it all came together! They made our wedding day so seamless, allowing us to simply enjoy every moment. Thank you, Katlynne and Chris, for everything you did to make our day so special. We couldn’t recommend Belle Haven Events more!

Katlynne and Chris were both incredible to have at our wedding. I had so many people tell me how impressed they were with their services. Chris was somehow always there with a water and another drink for me, I don’t know how he did it haha. Their attitude and enthusiasm was also so refreshing to have when I was already so tired from planning! They set up our decor beautifully, had food and drinks ready for us right after the ceremony, managed every issue that came up, and packed up everything at the end of the night. Our night would have been so different without them. I had been on the fence about hiring a wedding coordinator but the investment was 1000% worth it. Plus their prices were so affordable for the service they offer! Thank you again for an amazing wedding!!!
