KELLY CLARK LEONARD
owner + lead planner

A Santa Monica native, Kelly established Event of the Season in 2005 after working for a short time as a floral designer. In that position she was able to offer her coordinating services and quickly found a passion for weddings. Known for her calm demeanor, warming presence and unparalleled attention to detail, Kelly's passion shines through in everything she does. When she's not planning weddings you can find Kelly enjoying time at home with her husband, two children and two adorable pugs, Bruiser and Bailey.
