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!
