About
Claudia Barata founded Lavish Wedding and Event Planning as a boutique firm focused on curating elevated, design-driven celebrations with refined elegance and intentional detail. Her background blends a diploma in Interior Design and Wedding and Event Planning (earned in 2020) with hands-on luxury wedding coordination at a prestigious Okanagan winery, where she rose to lead coordinator.
Lavish offers three service tiers: day-of wedding coordination, full wedding planning (from concept through day-of), and month/day-of coordination for couples wanting more control. Each couple's planning journey is guided by a storytelling-through-design philosophy — no two weddings are the same. Services include vendor curation, menus and place settings, custom timelines, floor plans, and unlimited communication throughout the planning process.
Based in Summerland in the heart of the Okanagan Valley, Claudia brings a refined, modern approach to the region's luxury wedding industry. She has also curated an exclusive rental collection of distinctive, design-led pieces to help clients achieve a tailored, sophisticated atmosphere.
