Our Story
At The Big Day, we specialize in creating unforgettable moments for your special day. From meticulous planning to flawless execution, our team is dedicated to making your wedding dreams a reality. With a range of services including wedding planning, event coordination, and bespoke event design, we ensure that every detail is perfect. Let us handle the logistics while you enjoy every magical moment. Our passion for weddings and people shines through in every event we create, ensuring that your big day is truly extraordinary.
The Big Day journey began well over 11 years ago, when our founder, Alesia, worked on small family events to let her creative side run free. She enjoyed it so much that she started a side business and also began volunteering with organizations that held galas and conferences, but had to temporarily end this fun venture due to certain hardships in 2019.
In 2021, in the midst of Covid, she was given an exciting opportunity to plan a large corporate event, and this re-ignited the fire inside of her, and this is how The Big Day was born.
Today, Alesia is an Internationally Certified Wedding and Event Planner, having put together countless successful events, and made all kinds of meaningful connections with vendors across the city.
She prides herself on being a people's expert, understanding your needs and bringing your vision to life, all with a positive, let's-get-this-done attitude.
When she is not working, you can find her doing some TaeKwon Do with her children, gardening, hiking, or planning her next vacation.
