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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
ALWAYS
ALLEGRA
I’ve always felt grateful to carry the name Allegra—a word that, in Italian, is more than a name. It’s a sentiment, an invitation: to be happy. A reminder, every day, to live with joy and intention.
Whether or not my name ever changes one day, one thing remains true: I will always be Allegra.
Life is fleeting and uncertain, yet the ability to choose happiness is always ours.
I choose joy. I choose meaning.
I choose to be Always Allegra.
