Erin Russo

Creative Director & Certified Wedding Consultant and Event Planner

“Nothing has come

this naturally to me.”

People often ask me why I chose this industry and my answer is always the same: because events are in my blood; I come from a long line of people who love them.

Growing up Italian, my family planned special occasions and their enthusiasm made every holiday cause for celebration.

I discovered that their talents were mine, too, and my purpose became clear the year I planned my parents’ 25th wedding anniversary. While sorting through binders, choosing vendors, and creating the guest list, I realized I was most certainly in my element.

My business focuses on relationships, not just aesthetics. That means I connect with my clients in order to customize their experience. I find the more I share of myself, the more my clients share with me. These bonds create memorable moments and consequently produce meaningful events.

I created Allora Event Designs to celebrate romance---to marry heartfelt events with my passion for planning them.

I don’t just plan an event; I plan an experience. Allora, let’s get started!
