Alexandra Denniston

As a Rhode Island-based luxury wedding planner with well over a decade of experience in high-end hospitality, I specialize in designing intentional, full-service weddings across New England and destination locations worldwide. Rooted in a deep love of family, community, and connection, my approach centers on creating personalized events that feel as effortless as they are unforgettable—celebrations that honor legacy and tell your story with meaning.

Before founding Eventlightenment Planning, I worked across every facet of the wedding and event industry—from catering and floral design to luxury venue management—cultivating the calm leadership and logistical expertise my clients rely on. Today, I curate elevated wedding weekends and refined destination celebrations with a focus on experiential design, anticipating not just how things will look, but how they’ll make people feel: awe, wonder, joy, and connection.

As Vice President of the WIPA (Wedding Industry Professionals Association) Boston board, I’m committed to raising the standard of excellence in the luxury wedding industry while championing mentorship, collaboration, and continued growth. I believe in creating events that celebrate not just a moment—but a legacy. Because at the heart of every great event is something even greater: the people who gather for it.

Outside of weddings, I live a beautifully full life in Rhode Island with my husband, our two children, and our trio of beloved (and occasionally chaotic) dogs. I’m happiest near the ocean, dancing at a concert, or lost in a great book. Whether it’s beach days with my family or late nights filled with music and meaning, I find inspiration in the simple joys that bring people together. It’s that same spirit I bring to my work—where celebration, kinship, and lasting memories are always at the center.
