About Alli
Thank you for visiting! I’m a Sonoma County native, and I’ve always felt incredibly lucky to have grown up in a place where beautiful food, incredible wine, and genuine hospitality are simply part of everyday life. Being surrounded by vineyards, farmers, chefs, and some of the most beautiful places to gather sparked something in me early on: a love not only for what’s on the table, but for the experience created around it.
My career began nearly 20 years ago in the culinary world. I trained at Le Cordon Bleu and worked as a pastry chef in Michelin-starred kitchens before finding my way into wine, hospitality, and events. Along the way, I earned my sommelier certification and bachelor’s degree and went on to manage events at some of Napa Valley’s most celebrated properties. Through every chapter, one thing remained constant: I love bringing people together and creating experiences they’ll remember.
After planning thousands of events and eventually celebrating my own wedding in Italy, I knew weddings were where everything I loved could finally come together. The food. The wine. The design. The logistics. The tiny details no one else notices. The big, emotional moments everyone remembers.
Today, I get to bring all of that experience to my couples through Curated By Alli. I’m equal parts creative and logistical, and I love dreaming up something beautiful just as much as I love a perfectly organized timeline. My role is to guide the process, anticipate what’s coming, assemble an incredible team, and make sure that when your wedding weekend finally arrives, you can actually live it.
And when I’m not planning weddings, I’m home with my husband, Alex, and our son, Roman, most likely cooking something delicious, opening a great bottle of wine, traveling whenever we get the chance, or dreaming up our next adventure.
At the heart of everything I do is a simple belief: the best celebrations don’t just look beautiful. They feel incredible. Personal, effortless, full of life, and unmistakably yours.
I’d be honored to create one with you.
Let’s start with a conversation.
