Hello! My name is Alyssa and I am a graduating senior from the University of Pittsburgh. When I first moved to Pittsburgh from Media, PA, I had absolutely no idea where my marketing degree would take me. I hoped something would stick, but I had no idea that I would discover my deep (slightly obsessive) passion for event planning.
When I coordinated my first wedding in 2016, I fell head-over-heels for this business (butterflies in my stomach and goo-goo eyes galore)! Since then, I have been on the go, gaining as much experience as possible and meeting so many amazing professionals along the way.
This past year, I dove head first into the wonderful world of event planning, working on weddings at Clear Story Studio, the Union Hall, the Succop Conservancy, and many other Pittsburgh venues. Eager to experience as much as possible, I have also planned corporate events at Pitt’s business school.
With graduation around the corner, I can’t wait to see what awaits, especially all the beautiful events to come!
