Alison is the Founder + Creative Director of Lifestyle Maven Events. She began her creative journey working for renowned interior designers and architects. She then turned her attention to high-profile management, where she worked with a Royal Saudi family managing their household interior design, hiring staff, and planning various high-profile events.
With a flair for design and organization, she moved into boutique catering companies in New York City, where she executed luxe weddings and events. Alison was naturally drawn to weddings because it was an excellent fit for her creative and organizational mind, and then Lifestyle Maven Events was born.
Alison and the Lifestyle Maven Events team strive to create a unique experience for each couple to bring their wedding narrative to life through personalized details and flawless execution.

"Alison is a true professional; she is truly a "Maven" in her field. To say I was impressed with Alison's work is an understatement. In a very short time, she basically worked a miracle. I told her what I wanted, what I envisioned, and left it all to her very capable hands. She managed the impossible...to garner high praises from my family members, some of which can be quite picky and exacting. Alison is a true professional; she is truly a "Maven" in her field." - J
