THE GAL BEHIND ALL THE 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 and event 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 grounded and relaxed because if you're a busy professional, the last thing you need is more chaos in your life. Trying to manage event planning on top of everything else is overwhelming, but don't worry - I've got you! I dig in to get to know your vision and curate a top-tier team to bring it to life in a way that feels completely genuine and stress-free.
YOUR STORY MATTERS TO ME & I CANNOT WAIT TO CELEBRATE IT

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 night out - 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.

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.

I could eat asparagus daily
If having a pet orangutan was possible and/or a smart choice, I totally would
I may have a denim addiction; the amount of jeans that I own could be a cause for concern
