About Burner Custom Designs and Events
Burner Custom Designs and Events is a rustic wedding rental and coordination company in Hilmar, California, serving couples throughout Stanislaus County and the greater Central Valley. Family owned and operated since 2016, the company was founded by Kelly and Ross Burner, who first discovered their love of event design while crafting every detail of their own 2014 wedding. That spark grew into a full-service business built around handcrafted, rustic industrial decor and a hands-on, personal approach to every celebration.

Rather than a fixed event hall, Burner Custom Designs and Events brings the atmosphere to a couple's chosen ceremony and reception site, transforming barns, ranches, vineyards, and backyard settings across the Hilmar and Turlock area into warm, character-filled spaces. Their inventory blends boho and farmhouse style with industrial accents, including farm tables, benches, pews and chairs, wood structures, arches and backdrops, market lighting, chandeliers, wine barrels, signage, and custom-fabricated furniture built in-house by Ross. A signature offering is Big Mae, a charming vintage horse-trailer dry bar staffed with bartending services, alongside a corral photo booth that gives guests a memorable, rustic keepsake.

Beyond rentals, the team provides day-of and partial coordination for couples who want to stay involved in the planning while leaning on a professional for timeline management, decor styling, DIY guidance, and on-site logistics. The goal is simple: let the couple relax and savor every moment while the details are handled with care. Known for their attention to detail and genuine relationships with clients, Kelly and Ross treat each wedding as a one-of-a-kind project, often becoming friends with the couples they serve. For Central Valley couples seeking a distinctive, rustic, and deeply personal celebration, Burner Custom Designs and Events offers both the pieces and the guidance to bring it to life.
