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 […]

Bree & Scott 10/23/2021 Whiskey Reds Marina Del Rey, California I was lucky enough for Bree to find me through Facebook Marketplace: a comment and a tag was all it took… and Bree gave me a ring and we were booked in minutes! When I say that Bree is easy-going, I mean like, I didn’t […]

Alexandria & Matthew October 29, 2021 Bel Air Bay Club, Pacific Palisades, California SO it started…..I helped Alex book her date when I worked at Bel-Air Bay Club (back in 2019). Much time had passed when she later found me through social media (Spring of 2021) and inquired for my coordinating services. When I saw […]

Have you ever met someone and felt like there was an instant connection? It happened when I first met Lauren and Nick back in 2018 when they toured Bel-Air Bay Club as a potential wedding venue. They were seeking a date further out in 2022 as they were moving to London and wanted to have […]

August 30, 2021 – an inquiry came through to Always Allegra Events titled “my wedding is a shitstorm”. I read the title and immediately just called the number associated with the inquiry – Mel picks up and gasps “I’m so glad you called – I need you!” At this given point, I do not know […]

September 18, 2021 It feels just like yesterday, meeting Jenna at sorority recruitment during our freshman year of college and our little 18-year-old selves “preffing” the same house. Fate took a different turn, and we didn’t follow each other into the same house, but we remained good friends over the years.  My favorite memory of Jenna was sneaking […]

A ‘frequently asked questioned’ we receive from our brides… “We are having a plated entrée for dinner and the venue is requesting us to have ‘meal indications’ displayed on the table to state what guests previously ordered and will be eating… what should we do?” Listen closely because WE GOT YOU!  Meal indicators are a […]

With all the uncertainties of COVID-19, I had the absolute honor of coordinating an intimate, safe gathering back in 2020 for Aly and Dom to get married while taking a pause on the big celebration. Fast forward 2021, the venue, the vendors, the couple, and I were all ready to plan a party of a […]
