Say hello to a joyful & purposeful business
Leora Pilevar is the founder of Academy for Events and the visionary behind two powerhouse studios: Best Bride and Partyology. Her journey began at 18 when she was asked to help with a wedding — an experience that sparked her passion for creative direction, logistics, and leadership under pressure. What started as a favor quickly turned into a lifelong career. By 2011, Leora had launched Best Bride while simultaneously earning her Master’s in Hospitality & Tourism, growing both her business and vision in tandem.
Today, Leora has built a referral-only event empire, specializing in luxury weddings, standout mitzvahs, and unforgettable experiences for clients who expect nothing less than extraordinary. Best Bride, a full-service wedding agency based in Beverly Hills, is consistently recognized as one of the top wedding planning firms in Los Angeles. Renowned for crafting ultra-personal, high-touch experiences, it is the place where dream weddings become reality—private by design and strictly referral-only.
Partyology represents Leora’s design obsession. Each event is artfully imagined and executed with intention, layered detail, and a deep love for celebration. From mitzvahs to milestone moments, Partyology is all about energy, aesthetic, and the wow factor.
Now, through Academy for Events, Leora shares her blueprint by mentoring the next generation of planners—providing them with the tools, strategy, and real talk they need to grow with confidence.
Beyond her work in events, Leora embraces bold moves, beautiful spaces, and the pursuit of joy alongside her husband Yigal, their baby boy Liam, and their two tiny sidekicks. For her, this is about more than just events—it’s about legacy, lifestyle, and building something truly one’s own. She’s committed to making it unforgettable.
