“I had the privilege of working closely with Alyssa for over eight years, and I can say without hesitation that she is an exceptional event planner and an even more exceptional partner.

Throughout our time working together, Alyssa was consistently meticulous, thoughtful and always one step ahead. She approached every event with careful preparation, strong attention to detail, and an ability to anticipate challenges before they arose — which made even the most complex initiatives feel seamless.

What truly sets Alyssa apart, however, is her deeply human approach to her work. She leads with compassion and respect, and this was especially evident in how she managed relationships across diverse stakeholders, sponsors and volunteers. She has a rare ability to balance professionalism with empathy, ensuring everyone felt heard, valued and supported.”

“As a regular event host, Alyssa is the best planner that I’ve worked with. She’s calm and approachable, extremely organized, creative, communicative and quick on her feet. I always know I’m in good hands when Alyssa and her team are in charge. I trust her so much that my husband and I hired her as our 'day of planner' for our wedding.
