It’s a pleasure to bring the Wedding Inspiration magazine to you with that country flare. As we head into 2021, we bring ideas to you the BRIDE. In the future issues, we will visit places that may interest you for your wedding. In addition to VENUES in multiple states on the east coast, destination weddings are on the upward trend. It has been interesting to see how many new venues are opening for smaller wedding. As the editor of Ultimate Wedding Inspirations, I look forward to highlighting these areas in future issues.

“Allison was very knowledgeable and crea ve in the se ng up the venue for the wedding. She not only assisted in the set up of the wedding, she also assisted the vendors on loca on making sure they were set up and ready as scheduled. She assisted in cleaning up a erwards and directed the wedding for the bride.. Having her there was such a big help and made the day so much more manageable for me and the bride. She's very easy to work with , I would highly recommend Allison to anyone looking for a planner/director for their big day.”
Allison kept everything on me and ran smooth, she coordinated not only my wedding but also pictures a er the ceremony and managed the recep on. My day wouldn't have been as perfect without her hard work and support….Kelly J “On the day of my wedding she was there to meet and greet the band and caterers she made sure I didn't have to worry about anything going on outside of ge ng ready.” -Marsha C “Allison is the best!!
