Hi, everyone! My name is Kailee Bertrand, and I’m so excited to introduce myself and share a little bit about who I am, both inside and outside of Hitch Studio!
I grew up on the West River side of South Dakota in the beautiful town of Deadwood, where I spent my younger years surrounded by the Black Hills and everything that makes that part of the state so special. After graduating high school, I made my way to the other side of the state to attend South Dakota State University, where I graduated in May 2026 with a degree in Community and Public Health.
While my degree might not be the most obvious path into the wedding industry, I think it has shaped the way I approach working with people. I love connecting with others, building relationships, and being part of something that brings people together. And really, what is a wedding if not one big celebration of people coming together?
At Hitch Studio, I wear a few different hats! I’m a Certified Wedding Planner and Venue Professional, as well as the Rental Operations Manager. Whether I’m helping bring a couple’s wedding vision to life, making sure all the behind-the-scenes details are taken care of, or keeping our rentals organized and ready for their next event, I love being part of the process that makes someone’s big day special. There is so much more that goes into a wedding than what guests see, and I love getting to take care of all those little details that make the big picture come together.
Outside of Hitch Studio, I also spend time at Synergy Strength Studio, where I help manage social media and get creative with content that showcases the amazing people and community there. You’ll also find me leading fitness classes, so if you’re ever looking for a fun way to get moving, come join me for a class! Between weddings, rentals, social media, and fitness, I definitely keep myself busy!
Now, for a little bit about me outside of work! I’m a big cat person, a lover of good food, and a huge advocate for living a healthy lifestyle while always remembering that balance is key. I believe in enjoying the little things, whether that’s a good meal, a great workout, or a relaxing night at home. On the more exciting side of life, I got engaged to my fiancé, Justin, almost a year ago in Maui! We are looking forward to seeing where life takes us next.
I’m so excited to continue growing in the wedding industry and being part of the Hitch Studio team. Getting to work alongside couples during such an exciting season of their lives is something I don’t take for granted. I can’t wait to meet more of you, help create unforgettable celebrations, and make plenty of memories along the way!
Thanks for getting to know a little bit about me. I can’t wait to see what this next chapter brings!
