Deborah James

CEO, Principal Planner & Event Visionary

Deborah is the creative visionary behind BVE’s acclaimed and award-winning design work. Through her trusted vendor collaborations, she has earned the respect as one of the industry’s leading event producers… “it’s one thing to create a great vision, but it needs to be executed… flawlessly.”

“It’s all about the client, I have planned hundreds of events, and I’m not interested in cookie cutting out another one. Our job is to make your event a reflection of you… and your unique style in a fun, fresh and on-budget way.”

Graduating from the University of Denver with a double BA in Communications and Musical Theatre, Deborah began her work in the bridal merchandising industry, catering, and then eventually moved to LA, where she continued her planning journey through NBC & Production, performing and eventually releasing two albums. She studied at the Kings Seminary of Theology and finds that her biblical counseling classes come in handy with the pre-marital journey.

Deborah has an incredible eye for detail, endless patience, and has a calm serenity that makes her unique personality shine through. She possesses a strong and fearless leadership and is a quick problem solver. She approaches each event as a visionary, with the acute big picture ability of a director, the organization of a producer, and the broad skill set to manage a “team” with respect & precision.

Deborah resides in Westlake Village with her family and loves the high-energy lifestyle that she juggles between busy mom life & Bella Vita (beautiful life) Events on the weekends.
