OUR STORY
Pacific Engagements was founded to ensure that your best interests are continuously valued and prioritized throughout the entire wedding planning experience.
Before founding Pacific Engagements, Alyssa devoted herself to understanding the Seattle wedding industry from the inside out. She worked alongside wedding planners who had been producing events in the Greater Seattle Area for over a decade, ascertaining the best client and team management practices, as well as determining how to create the optimal client experience through organizational tools, educational resources, and adept communication. She has dedicated numerous hours towards sitting face-to-face with local Seattle wedding photographers, florists, caterers, and other vendor companies to deeply learn what exactly each company needed to be efficient and successful on a wedding day.
Pacific Engagements began serving Seattle with the focus of providing more than just a service, but an unforgettable experience. Over the years, its success as one of Seattle's most revered fine art wedding planning companies has stemmed from the planning team’s approachability, concise communication practices, and endless dedication towards beloved clientele.
Our Process
At Pacific Engagements, we strive to make the planning and design process easy-to-approach, stress-free, relaxed, and efficient. Our signature process prioritizes what comes next, allowing you to make educated decisions without time constraints.
Planning your wedding from start to finish will be done in straightforward steps with customized timing to fit your planning schedule and lifestyle. Our most important priority is to ensure you feel confident and well-informed about each decision you make.
STEP 1: INITIAL PLANNING MEETING / Venue visit
Our initial planning meeting allows us to officially connect and celebrate our new partnership! We get the opportunity to learn more about you two in addition to revisiting where you are currently at in the planning process. For some, this entails starting from the very beginning before a wedding venue and date have even ben discussed. For you, this means your venue and date are the only official items and everything else is still outstanding. All couples are in a different place and want different things—this meeting is intended for you to communicate to us where exactly you are at and your dreams/fears/likes/dislikes/must-haves/priorities for the planning process and wedding.
We offer the complementary option of accompanying you on a visit to your wedding venue. This in-person visit allows us to walk through your venue from the guest perspective and identify outstanding design and logistical details.
STEP 2: Coordination QUESTIONNAIRE
You’ll be provided a coordination questionnaire to share your thoughts on if there are any specific rooms/spaces within your venue where you want certain wedding events to occur (i.e. guest entrance, ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner reception, dancing reception, lounge spaces, bar), as well as informing us of any other pertinent preferences or curiosities.
STEP 3: MEET FOR OUR DISCOVERY MEETING
We will meet to review your completed coordination questionnaire together. During this meeting, we will ask you very thorough clarifying questions to ensure that we are fully understanding your preferences, ideals, and goals with your design vision and needed vendors.
STEP 4: RECEIVE + REVIEW YOUR PRELIMINARY DOCUMENTS
Receive, review, provide feedback on your preliminary documents— a comprehensive collection typically consisting of your vendor contact list, wedding day-of timeline, rental inventory lists, ceremony layout, reception layout, reception seating assignments, and entree selection lists.
STEP 5: FINE-TUNE ALL DETAILS
We will update all of your preliminary documents based on your finalized definitive guest count. We will also be confirming any specialty-order items such as custom signage or stationery, officializing food and beverage menu selections, and ironing out any other outstanding decisions.
STEP 6: RECEIVE + REVIEW YOUR FINALIZED DOCUMENTS
Receive, review, provide feedback on your finalized documents — a comprehensive collection typically consisting of your vendor contact list, wedding day-of timeline, rental inventory lists, ceremony layout, reception layout, reception seating assignments, and entree selection lists. With your final approval, these documents will be communicated to your team of wedding professionals 1 - 2 weeks before your wedding. At that time, we will also inform your vendors to streamline any last-minute questions they may have to our team, rather than to you. That way, you can relax throughout your wedding week, stress-free.
STEP 7: EVENT MANAGEMENT
For your wedding weekend, the Pacific Engagements team will manage your ceremony rehearsal, which will take approximately 30 - 60 minutes. On your wedding day, we will be the main point-of-contact for all vendors, ensuring everything runs smoothly. We are there to keep all events on-schedule, make sure guests do not miss anything important, and to ensure that both you and your guests are having a wonderful experience.
WEDDING COORDINATION
With our Coordination Collection, you are planning all wedding logistics and accruing your wedding vendors and rentals on your own. Six weeks before your wedding, we begin working intimately together make sure every detail has been accounted for and is logistically executable.
Pacific Engagements will be present for your wedding ceremony rehearsal, as well as the entirety of your wedding day as the point-of contact for your vendor team. We are there to keep events on-schedule, make sure guests do not miss anything important, and to ensure that both you and your guests have a wonderful experience.

past client praise
“WORKING WITH ALYSSA WAS THE MOST IMPORTANT DECISION WE MADE TO MAKE OUR WEDDING DREAMS COME TO LIFE.”
“She is extremely organized, thorough, an excellent communicator, and not afraid to go to bat for her clients.
In the beginning of the planning process she provided us with many options for excellent, reputable vendors that fit my vision and was understanding and accommodating when I was indecisive or changed my mind on something. I was concerned because I had many ideas but didn’t know how to make them cohesive and she made sure my vision was streamlined throughout all of the decisions we made. She was willing to take the reins when we needed her to, and also let us be as involved as we wanted to be. Every final decision was ran by us and she kept track of all things budget, making suggestions on how to cut costs when we wanted to, or making suggestions to allot budget to things we might not have thought of otherwise.
