Taylor Swift’s Wedding Planner Mark Seed Allegedly Stiffed Company Who Handled Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis Party

Taylor Swift’s rumored wedding planner Mark Seed allegedly stiffed a California company out of more than $658,000 for three high-end Hollywood shindigs — including a party for actors Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis — and billionaire Jeff Bezos, InTouch can exclusively reveal.

Court documents show the brunt of the unpaid bills was generated for a 2021 event for American designer and Airbnb co-founder Joe Gebbia, while Seed neglected to pay Buttermilk Creative Inc. $25,000 in rental fees, décor and location fee for the parties thrown by the married That ‘70s Show stars.

Seed also had a hard time paying Buttermilk for services provided at Bezos’ 2021 “Return to Planet Earth Party” following the Amazon boss’ infamous trip to outer space on his Blue Origin rocket. After plopping $50,000 in August 2021, the party planner finally paid the remaining balance of $175,000 on May 23, 2022, court docs show.

“Our client provided services and didn’t get paid,” Buttermilk’s lawyer Lorrie Walton tells InTouch. “I think they all do this, they throw this big, huge expensive party and then the poor guy who provides all the services doesn’t get paid because he didn’t ask for the money up front.”

As InTouch previously reported, Buttermilk sued Seed in Los Angeles County Superior Court in June 2025 demanding $476,924 in outstanding debt and won a default judgement on May 12 (2026) after the party planner failed to respond to the legal claim. The debt jumped to $658,732.15 with interest, court and legal fees.

In a revealing June 2024 email explaining why he’s behind on the payments, Seed explained that he was stressed out by his high-profile job, which included organizing the 2019 Jennifer Lawrence wedding to Cooke Maroney in Rhode Island.

“Things for me are as opposite to (sp) peaceful as ever,” Seed explained in the email to Buttermilk CEO Christian Escario. “Mentally, it’s challenging. Physically, I am doing ok. I guess that’s the nature of my job and dealing with the clients I am dealing with daily.”

“On the topic of funds, this is something that weighs on me heavily and it’s far past time to deal with it,” he wrote in the email with the subject heading “Hi from Hawaii.[“]

Seed was unavailable for comment, and his attorney Dennis Roach tells InTouch he can’t talk about the case.

Walton tells InTouch she doesn’t know why Seed ignored the lawsuit and explains, “They tried to get us to settle for some nominal amount but obviously they didn’t reach an agreement, and we had to enter a default judgement.”
