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.

YOUR LOVE STORY MATTERS TO ME & I CANNOT WAIT TO CELEBRATE IT

ALLISSA IS IMMENSELY DEDICATED TO EACH OF HER COUPLES

Her incredible passion & down to earth demeanor offer a different approach to luxury events

  • 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.

    1. I could eat asparagus daily

    2. If having a pet orangutan was possible and/or a smart choice, I totally would

    3. I may have a denim addiction; the amount of jeans that I own may be a cause for concern

  • Only sarcasm.
