Many, who know me, always knew this would be the fate of my career – being my own boss. I too, would rave about this “later plan” with honestly no real mentality on how, when, what, where — how this would come to be. It was definitely verbally my plan but internally, it was such […]

The wedding industry has come a long way from when our parents were getting hitched. The common concept of taking 17 items home with you from a wedding is no more. Are favors an essential item to your guests enjoying your wedding? No. We live in a world with enough junk and clutter – we […]

How to decide between a sweetheart table vs a head table? When considering everything else that comes with a wedding, solidifying where you sit and who you sit with, feels a lot more daunting than it should. To be proper with the lingo, a sweetheart table is for just the newlyweds. A special spot in […]

Do you really need a wedding coordinator? The short answer? Well, YES. Absolutely.  The longer answer? This is a topic that should not be sugarcoated. A wedding coordinator is a crucial and essential part of not only the wedding day but the entire wedding process. So no, we’re not talking about just a “day of” […]

There are so many questions that need to be answered around RSVPs. “When do I collect them?” “How do I collect them?” “How do I stay organized?” “Do I really have to collect each guests meal if I want a plated meal?” “When do I need all my guests answered by?” “Can I do a […]

I am a curator of experiences. It’s my job, but it’s also my passion. So, when the pandemic hit and I was stuck within the walls of my home during quarantine, my creative wheels, naturally, started turning. In April 2020, my dear friend Sherene Hulugalle (of Wisteria Lane), and I put our brains together to create […]

I was absolutely overjoyed when Kori had asked me to be her wedding planner! I met Kori in my college days at California State University Northridge. We were a part of the same sorority, Delta Zeta, but we really connected and clicked when we started a bi-weekly coffee date where we would catch up and […]

I’ve been blessed to be born into quite the last name. Allegra— a verb in the beautiful Italian language “to be happy” is a clear depiction of what I always strive to be. Someday, I believe I’ll get married and have the choice to change my last name. As I am confident I will decide to, I do know one thing is certain — I’ll always be Allegra.

Life could take me many directions, but one promise to myself is to always strive to be happy - with that, we have
Always Allegra.
