Alex is a originally a Midwestern girl hailing from Ohio. With a wedding planning background rooted in Washington, D.C., Alex is all in on events in the PNW these days. After living and working in the nation's capital for two years, Alex wanted a change but wasn't ready to give up the wonderful world of weddings and so Willow & Ivy Events was born!

​

Alex draws design inspiration from fresh flowers, vibrant color stories, playful patterns, and anything that sparkles.

When she's not planning, organizing, and executing events, she can either be found out training for an upcoming half marathon weekend or in with a good book. Alex also enjoys checking out new restaurants, watching baseball, traveling the world, and hanging out with her Maltipoo, Kip.

She knew her heart belonged on the West Coast so she packed up for college and moved her life to the Bay Area. Following graduation she worked for a tech company in San Francisco for a few years but soon her wanderlust and curiosity got the best of her, and she spent a year backpacking through Central and South America. Now, Jelisa is settled in Seattle and living her best life, chasing her dreams of wedding & event planning. 

Jelisa draws her wedding inspiration from the great outdoors, whether it be the soothing glow of the beach or the rustic feel of the mountains. She enjoys playing with delicate flowers, lots of greenery, glowing candles, simple gold detailing and crisp linens. No matter what your vision for your big day, Jelisa will find creative and unique ways to make it as elegant and memorable as you've always imagined, and then some!

In her down time you can catch her on a hike or at a yoga class, shopping, finding the coolest new boba tea shops, and exploring the city.
