Who Is Party Planner Kevin Lee from RHOBH and Vanderpump Rules?
The celebrity event specialist has appeared on Bravo quite a few times.
For the Season 13 finale of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Kyle Richards brought back her famous White Party, and the fete was bigger and better than ever.
She also had some help putting the bash together from a familiar face: celebrity event planner Kevin Lee.
“I learned about Kevin Lee from Lisa Vanderpump, and if I’m going to be doing a party that is so over the top that it’s at SoFi Stadium, I need an over-the-top party planner," Kyle explained in the episode. (Watch the video above to get a look at how the incredible event came together.)
Here's what to know about the party planning extraordinaire, who has appeared on a number of Bravo shows.

Kevin Lee has worked with Lisa Vanderpump for many years
Kevin has planned numerous parties for Lisa that played out on RHOBH and Vanderpump Rules. In the above clip — an extended scene from Season 6 Episode 3 of RHOBH — you can get a look into Lisa and Kevin's playful relationship.
Kevin was behind Lisa's English tea party for husband Ken Todd's 70th birthday. The event was quite memorable as Ken ended up being tossed in the pool.
Kevin Lee planned Ryan Serhant and Emilia Bechrakis Serhant's wedding
Million Dollar Listing: New York's Ryan Serhant knows a thing or two about luxury, so when it came to planning his own 2016 wedding to Emilia Bechrakis Serhant, he turned to the top-tier planner.
"Kevin Lee is the best," Ryan said in Season 5, which documented his wedding planning journey. "He is the most well-known wedding planner in the world. That character in The Father of the Bride played by Martin Short was modeled after Kevin. He did Brad Pitt's wedding twice. So, I should be a piece of cake for him."
What happened between Vanderpump Rules' Katie Maloney and Kevin Lee?
Kevin appeared on a 2018 episode of Vanderpump Rules at a party thrown in Lisa's honor. Katie Maloney, who was working for Lisa at SUR at the time, was on staff at the party when Kevin made some inappropriate comments about her weight. After the incident, Katie confided in Lisa about what happened and Lisa was very upset with Kevin for his rude remarks.
Kevin later told Page Six that, after watching the moment back, he "felt so bad" about how hurt she was, adding his comment "wasn't bad intentioned at all."
