THE GAL BEHIND ALL THINGS AT ALTAR’D EVENTS
Hi friend, it’s Allissa
I’m thrilled you’ve found your way here. I’m a lover of love and thoroughly enjoy genuine connections with others, so it makes sense that I ended up rocking this wedding planner life. Honestly, I cannot imagine doing anything else and am honored to have had such an intimate role in so many epic celebrations over the years.
I’m a big fan of stepping outside the box and doing things a bit differently. My approach is relaxed as I understand that as a busy professional, you probably have enough chaos in the day-to-day norms of life. Trying to manage the challenges that come with planning a wedding may be daunting, but don’t worry - I’ve got you! I dig in to get to know you both allowing me to curate the best team of professionals to produce a weekend of celebration that feels authentic to who you are, both as individuals and as a couple.

It’s a tie. I absolutely love the room reveal and seeing my couple’s reaction to everything coming together. But the hug at the end of the night gets me every time.

You’ll usually find me hanging with my darling family. Raising two strong-willed girls keeps me busy; one has a passion for fashion which equals never ending laundry. The other has found her voice and is not afraid to use it. I love them dearly, but also enjoy a good date night with my hubby - mezcal in hand.
-
It’s the combination of my three favorite things - people, design & organization. I love getting to know my clients and to be inspired by their stories allowing me to curate a celebration that is completely them.
-
I’m as dedicated as I am silly. I certainly understand & respect the need for professionalism, but I also want to offer an environment where everyone can be their most authentic selves because that is when connection and creativity really thrives.

I could eat asparagus daily
If having a pet orangutan was possible and/or a smart choice, I totally would
I may have a denim addiction; the amount of jeans that I own may be a cause for concern
