There have been lots of new faces here and so it feels like a good time for a (re)introduction!⁠ ⁠ I am Shannon - the owner + lead planner here at Aligned Events. I'm so glad you're here⁠ 🤍 ⁠ I am a western MA native but spent much of my events career in Boston + Portland, ME before returning to my roots to begin Aligned Events. I live here with my husband and three rescue pups in an 1800's farmhouse that we are (very slowly) renovating.⁠ When I’m not planning and running events you’ll find me working in the garden, deep into a cooking project or thinking up my next adventure. ⁠ A few things about me⁠: ⁠ My big three: Pisces sun, Scorpio moon, Sagittarius rising - if you’re into that jam ⁠ Travel is my other great passion. My favorite places (so far) are Japan, Thailand, Argentina + Italy. High on my list - are South Korea, New Zealand, Kenya + Bolivia (but always taking recommendations). ⁠ ⁠ Sustainability has always been hugely important to me and I love to infuse events with as many zero-waste options as possible.⁠ I’m also deeply passionate about mental health support and spend time weekly as a volunteer crisis counselor. ⁠ I love this business because it blends my love for meticulous organization and logistics with whimsical design + vision planning. Mix in a love of working with couples and being a romantic - and it's pretty much a perfect match.⁠ ⁠ Thank you for being here, and now back to the regularly scheduled programming of beautiful events! ⁠ ⁠ Capture by @caratotmanphotography

Starting to relive the 2025 season starting with the most amazing season ender with Lenore and Alex. I couldnt have IMAGINED a better way to wrap up the season than with these two. Lenore and Alex are funny, y’all. I loved spending time with them - crafting an amazing weekend with their equally amazing friends and family at the stunning @sassafras.museumevents . They hired the best team, had silly amounts of fun, and had incredible style to round it out. Watching their love and joy all weekend - that’s the why. ❤️ Super Talented and Badass Team: Venue: @sassafras.museumevents Photography: @markwspooner Catering: @mezze_events Florals: @avela.floral Entertainment: @affinitinyc Rentals: @classicaltents Lighting: Berkshire Event Lighting Hair and Makeup: @sevensalon.spa Stationary: @linden_illustration Cake: @cakebyalissa

Surrounded by the softest spring light and the quiet magic of the Berkshires, Alec + Rebecca got married at her father’s childhood home. They began the morning side by side, getting ready together, in the same way they’ll move through life. The day was intentional, filled with love and family, laughter, and some seriously stunning florals. A snippet of their day captured on film.

☀️ Vision board: sunshine love This day was pure warmth—from the sunshine to the love shared under the tent. We’re still thinking about the laughter during golden hour, the sound of music drifting into the night, and the glow that never left their faces.
