All About

Hi! I’m Aly, and I’m so excited to help bring your big day to life!

I graduated from Western Illinois University with a degree in Recreation, Parks, and Tourism Administration and completed my Certified Meeting Professional (CMP) certification in 2025. I’ve spent the last 10+ years in hospitality and event planning, starting with social events before making the switch to corporate events in 2021. No matter the type of event, I’ve always loved creating memorable experiences.

Like many people during Covid, I adopted a dog — and honestly, it was one of the best decisions ever. Max, my 5-year-old American Pit Bull Terrier, is basically a giant cuddle bug and the sweetest sidekick you could ask for.

When I’m not planning events, you’ll probably find me curled up with a good book, binge-watching TV, listening to a true crime podcast, or finding an excuse to stay active. I’m also a huge fan of coffee, red wine, whiskey, and traveling — especially anywhere with a beach. I truly believe some of the best experiences in life come from immersing yourself in new cultures and places.

What I love most about weddings is celebrating love stories in such a meaningful way. There’s nothing better than seeing a couple fully enjoy the day they’ve dreamed about for so long. Being a small part of those moments is something I never take for granted, and it’s truly why I love what I do.

I can’t wait to work with you and create a wedding that feels uniquely you!
