"I've been a lovebug for as long as I can remember"

It's always my goal to feel like a friend rather than a vendor, which is key to my planning style. We're going to have a lot of fun planning your perfect day, and our meetings will be filled with lots of laughter, joy, and a good hug. I'm a type 2 Enneagram, a giant sap (happy tears, always), and a firm believer that there's always a reason to celebrate. 

​

On my off hours, you can usually find me hanging out with my husband at our fave Raleigh bottle shop (ask me which one!), trying out new restaurants in the area, or snuggling up with our two sweet fur babies. We love to travel, so between weddings you may catch me working on your dream day from somewhere fabulous!

​

I'm so excited to meet you, to make your wedding intentional, and to celebrate you. Let's get the party started!

Pair that with my love of caring for people and my love of celebrations, and I guess it makes sense that I also love what I do for a living.​

I started Raleigh Weddings in 2022 after my now-husband proposed to me; I immediately fell in love with the logistics and execution of planning the day of a lifetime. I got certified through the New York Institute of Art and Design, launched the business, and haven't looked back since.

The master organizer of your unforgettable moments

When she’s not spending time with our incredible couples, you can find Ally staying busy, whether it’s giving it her all in a spin class, cheering on the Carolina Hurricanes with her husband, or enjoying quality time with her beloved pup. As a March 2024 bride herself, she brings a fresh perspective to the wedding planning experience, allowing her to relate to the emotions and challenges you may encounter along the way. 

 

Ally’s enthusiasm for life and love shines through in every wedding day she's a part of, ensuring you stay present, comfortable, and joyous. With Ally by your side, you can trust that your wedding will be nothing short of extraordinary (and did we mention stress-free?).
