Sandy Alvarez

Founder, Wedding Planner, and Designer

Hi beautiful, I’m grateful and thrilled that you’re here!

I’m Sandy, I consider myself a down-to-earth professional. Planning weddings is a career where my love for helping people, organization, and creativity are perfectly married. I love my bridal couples and believe that they deserve to work with an experienced planner but also a human that actually cares and is dedicated and committed to exceeding their expectations.

I have been involved in the event and hospitality industry for more than thirteen years,  I have a degree in Arts and I’m a Certified Wedding and Event Planner from Indiana University. I also graduated from a floral design school in Chicago and continue to take business, planning, and design courses in an effort to provide the best service and value to my clients.

My background as a corporate planner and catering manager is what introduced me to the world of events. While I enjoyed the fast-paced environment and organization of corporate events, I fell in love with wedding planning. I knew I could offer my clients the personal and professional service they deserve, so I took the leap and opened Splendid Weddings and Events.

I would love to meet YOU and make your wedding journey a splendid experience. Let’s chat about your wedding!
