Fate brought this Michigan girl and California boy together to meet in Switzerland, where they literally “fell” in love on a skydiving expedition.  I can’t think of a better meet / cutest story: finding each other halfway around the world, jumping out of a plane, and actually leaving this trip with a future together. COME […]

Ah! My Katie and Ryan! Here we go! Every engagement has a beautiful story and years of memories that came before that led to that moment – where he pops the question. But not every initial planner meeting has a “stand out story” worth repeating, but lucky enough – ours does. So thats where OUR […]

If I were handing out awards, this wedding receives the honor of longest planning process to date, for the Always Allegra team.  I met Madison and Kevin in early 2019 when they booked Bel-Air Bay Club for their upcoming nuptials.  When I announced that I was leaving my position at the Club and moving jobs, […]

In January 2021, when my business officially gained her legs (yes, she’s a lady) I met Megan and her mother, Allison via Zoom to discuss future wedding coordinating services.  They were on the cusp of booking a gorgeous venue in San Luis Obispo and excited to start planning all the details.  Shortly after our call, […]

I met Danielle and Casey on Zoom, right after they booked their dream venue.  I was fortunate to spend the next year working with them and getting to know them too.   They are a local couple (from the Westside) and shared their love of traveling with me and even shared some tips for my future […]

In November 2020, my good friend Chris came to me with a secret; one he needed help with planning and keeping from his girlfriend.  With its roots in beautifully designed one-of-a-kind memories, we decided to use my other company Talk About a Party to curate the perfect moment for Chris to ask the most important […]

Rachel and Rudy were originally scheduled to be married at a church in Santa Clarita, but fate intervened and when they were tasked with finding a new location, they found the spectacular Orcutt Ranch in West Hills, CA which couldn’t have been a more perfect backdrop for their garden wedding.  With acres and acres of […]

My first impression of Ben and Taylor was that they were the cutest things ever.  From our first conversation, I couldn’t wait to get to know them more.  Not only did we immediately click, but also bonded right away over our upcoming trips to Costa Rica (mine for adventure, and theirs for their honeymoon).   I was thrilled when […]

This wedding was such a deeply personal experience for me on every level.  The bride, Ashley and I have been friends since we were 14 years old.  I can still remember the first time I was invited over to her parents house, and in Ashley fashion – we did a photoshoot.  Years later, she would […]

My favorite kind of referral is from/within a family I love.  About 5 years ago I planned a gorgeous wedding for my client turned friend Suzanne, and we have remained pals ever since.  Cut to my getting “the” call from her brother Peter and his fiancé Stephanie to talk about planning for their special day […]
