Alden Blair Events has joined the my Kate Parker Wedding family!  Massachusetts wedding planner, Alden Blair Events, is located in the Boston area and caters to couples in New England.  Their wedding planning company has a variety of services from complete planning to taking on smaller wedding projects.  Check out more information on Alden Blair Events below!

Number of years in business:

My background in events stems from working for the Department of Defense, planning official, international visits between the United States and the Middle East. After years of traveling to places that most people only read about in the news (Turkey, Jordan, Sri Lanka, and the UAE to name a few) I needed to exercise my creative side — thus my venture into wedding planning. It’s been five years of planning beautiful weddings and it’s hard to imagine doing anything else.

Pricing Information:

Day-of coordination is the beginning of our services, and is priced around $1,000. Starting a month before the wedding, we meet with our couples to discuss every detail of the big day, down to the last detail of decor set up. From there we plan out the timeline and coordinate with vendors, ensuring that everything is in its place when the time comes.

We also offer partial, complete, and custom planning packages to help couples where they need it the most. Our most popular package is partial coordination which offers clients the guidance and resources necessary for them to efficiently find the vendors that meet their style and budget needs.

Complete service descriptions and pricing is available on our website (www.aldenblairevents.com/services) and as always, we offer complimentary consultations, allowing couples to meet our coordinators and us to learn more about the wedding.

What makes you stand out?

The perspective that wedding planning can be more (or less) than complete coordination. Couples who plan their wedding deserve a skilled, professional team to handle the day-of production — whether their budget is $100k or $40k. All of our clients, regardless of budget, receive the same attention and quality of service at a competitive, affordable rate.

What’s the favorite part of your work?

When couples, beaming with happiness, linger behind their guests at the end of the reception. It’s really the first time they have to absorb everything that has just happened, and even if they are sad to see the party end, they are excited about the life that is to come. It is such an exciting but exhausting time! As the wedding coordinator, my role allows them to enjoy every moment of the day, from getting ready through to the dance party, so the couple’s radiant smiles are the ultimate signs of a flawless event.

If you have any spare time, how do you spend it?

I sincerely enjoy sharing dinner and drinks with friends, so I take every opportunity to try a new restaurant. Boston is teeming with wonderful places so the decision boils down to “old favorite” or “latest hotspot” — either way there is good wine and great conversation. Between meals it is off to the gym or running down the Charles River in preparation for my next half marathon. And every so often, with a wedding-free weekend, I am on the next plane (the “travel bug” bit me years ago and there are still so many wonderful places to see!).

Which charity(s) are you donating to and why?

The Pink Initiative hopes to bring an end to breast cancer through the collective efforts of the wedding industry and private donors alike. Sharing in the effort, and other breast cancer causes, is a small way to contribute to the health and well being of generations of brides to come.
