ABOUT US
At The Alora Collective, we believe every event—whether personal or professional—deserves to be as unique as the people behind it. We specialise in planning and delivering bespoke weddings and events that are thoughtfully curated, beautifully executed, and full of heart.
Based in Sussex and working across the UK, we proudly plan and manage events of all kinds—from unforgettable weddings and milestone celebrations to corporate functions and brand experiences. No matter the occasion, our approach is always tailored, ensuring every detail reflects your personality, values, or company ethos.
​
With a combined 10 years experience in the events business, we’ve built a trusted network of exceptional suppliers, covering everything from florals and catering to lighting, entertainment, and everything in between. This allows us to offer you a seamless planning experience with trusted professionals who share our commitment to quality and creativity.
As a special bonus, we also offer exclusive discounts on services from our sister company, Snappy Shot Events, which provides stylish photo booths and selfie pods (and much more)—a fun and memorable addition to any event!
​
We go above and beyond for our clients, treating every event as if it were our own. With genuine passion, meticulous attention to detail, and a whole lot of heart, we’re here to bring your vision to life—and ensure you enjoy every step of the journey.
Let’s create something extraordinary together.
HOW IT WORKS
Once you have completed our online contact form, we will arrange a time to give you a complementary phone call or video call.
​​
During this call we will get to know you a little better, discuss your visions and how we can bring those to life and answer any questions you may have.
Not quite sure what you want yet? That’s completely okay – we’ll help you discover the perfect vision.
After our call, I’ll take the time to carefully review everything we’ve discussed to ensure I have a clear understanding of your vision, priorities, and any specific requirements.
​​
I’ll then put together a bespoke proposal and quote tailored specifically to your event. This document will outline all the key details we talked through—your ideas, preferences, and overall vision—along with a breakdown of the services we will be providing to bring it all to life.​
If we receive your email confirming you’d like to work with us, we will then reply with our contract and invoice detailing a deposit and how to pay. Once we have received both of these your booking with us will be confirmed.
If we are starting from a completely blank canvas, then I will send you a catalogue to get you thinking of some ideas. From venue ideas to venue design to entertainment. We try to make things as easy as possible.
When the time comes to start planning, depending on what package you have booked, we will invite you to join your very own planning portal.
On this portal you will be able to keep track of everything whenever you want. You will be able to see our tasks that we will be busy behind the scenes completing, as well as your very own task list. You will be able to keep track of invoices, quotes and see venue layouts and so much more.
And my personal favourite bit, you will be able to create your own mood boards, including selecting colour palettes. Then see all your final selections comes together.
It’s the day of the event, time to see it all come to life!
​
From the very beginning, we’ll be right there—overseeing every detail to ensure everything is perfectly in place and ready to go. Armed with carefully crafted timelines, thoughtful contingency plans, and a keen eye for even the smallest details, we’ll ensure your day runs smoothly from start to finish.​
After all the planning, coordination, and creative energy poured into bringing your vision to life, the most rewarding moment for us is seeing your reaction as it all comes together.
Hello from me...
Hi, my names Sian and I'm the co-founder and Creative Director of The Alora Collective.
A little about me... I live in Sussex with my husband, our 3 children and our 2 dogs. I've always been a planner and an organiser, and I cannot explain the happiness and sense of accomplishment I get from making a list and ticking it off (I know, weird!). Whether it was birthday parties when the kids were younger, our own wedding, or a school leavers party I've always thoroughly enjoyed planning events and being creative. And that's where all this started!
​
​
What started with a conversation between my husband and I over dinner one evening, has now turned into a flourishing company, and something I pride myself on greatly. We wanted to create a company that we could use our extensive amount of contacts and connections, to give our clients something to remember giving attention to detail at every moment. We pride ourselves on creating weddings and events which reflect the most important thing, you. Every event that we plan will have you at the heart of it. We will listen to your vision and bring that to life, giving a bespoke, stress-free and enjoyable experience. There's nothing better for us than to see the joy it brings for our clients to have all their visions come together.​
