Hi! I’m Alina
Owner, Principal Planner, Creative Director
I’m a lively, fun, outgoing Wedding Planner. A lover of all things pretty and yes to any situation that involves lists of course! Design, creating connections among people and event planning are the things my dreams are made of. I am obsessed with lists and timelines and can’t get enough of the personalized details that go into crafting your wedding day. After working several years for a major cruise line in the entertainment department, I decided it was time to bring my skills to land. Having traveled the globe, I bring a world of experience to your event.
Originally from beautiful Vancouver, Canada I now call New Zealand my home. With an eye for detail and commitment to delivering perfection, Wild&Whim always goes above and beyond to make your event exactly as you wish, and better. Let me start off by Congratulating you on this exciting journey you are about to begin. Enough about me- I want to hear about you!
