Walker & West, purpose driven events
A Kelowna event planner for the nights that matter
Corporate events, non-profit galas and a few private social celebrations each year, across Kelowna and the Okanagan. We handle the planning and the event-day details, so it all feels effortless for your team and your guests.
Over 17 years in events and catering. Nationally and internationally awarded, event trend reporter in publications across North America
“I love the details most people never think of.”
Your guests see a beautiful room, a dinner that arrives right on cue, and a night that seems to run itself.
What they don't see is the load-in schedule, the unique floor plan built around the event's purpose instead of a template, and the catering team that knows the speeches are running long before anyone else does.
Something always shifts on the day. A speaker runs long, a delivery shows up late, the weather turns. We plan for all of it up front, so when it happens, it gets handled quietly and you never have to leave the room.

Meet Brittany Saari
I'm an award-winning event planner and catering logistics specialist. I've spent the last 17 years planning purpose-driven events across Canada. I've done everything from multi-venue corporate galas to luxury social gatherings on private islands.
My background is in large-scale production, catering and venue operations, so I bring the creative vision and the logistics that make it work. I've learned that the most beautiful events are the ones that feel effortless to the people attending them.

What clients have to say…
Working with Brittany was such a pleasure. From the very beginning, she brought so much enthusiasm and imagination to the project. She has an incredible ability to take a theme and really run with it! Thinking outside the box and bringing forward ideas that made the entire experience feel intentional, cohesive, and beautifully curated.
What I appreciated most was how genuinely she cared about every detail. Her design coordination was seamless, and she had a wonderful ability to see the bigger picture while never losing sight of the small touches that made the experience feel special. She was always responsive, organized, and proactive, consistently going above and beyond to find solutions while keeping a close eye on the budget and ensuring everything was thoughtfully managed.
Beyond her talent, Brittany brings such a positive energy and genuine passion to her work. She truly invests herself in creating something memorable, and that dedication is evident in the final result. Her contribution made a real difference to the project, and I would be excited to have the opportunity to work with her again.
