Alena Swanson, Wedding & Event Planning, is a wedding planner and coordinator located in Branson, Missouri.

Falling in love and getting married is life’s greatest adventure! I’m Alena, an acclaimed wedding planner who specializes in alleviating your stress and overseeing all the details, so you can savor this once-in-a-lifetime event!

My journey into wedding planning began in 2009, and my numerous 5-star reviews showcase my passion and dedication to my craft. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of orchestrating an array of weddings, from intimate gatherings to lavish affairs. Each event is a canvas, and I take pride in assisting you in painting your unique love story with creativity, professionalism, and personal touches that draw your guests into that narrative.

My portfolio boasts planning hundreds of weddings, including published events in the Rocky Mountains and along Route 66. I particularly relish collaborating with couples nationwide to arrange destination weddings in the landscapes I call home. My team of planners and I are based in two picturesque locations: the stunning state of New Mexico and the Ozark Mountains near Branson, Missouri. Whether you opt for my services or one of my colleagues, I am confident you will be in some of the best hands in the industry.

I firmly believe every couple deserves a wedding as extraordinary as their love. That's why we take the time to understand your vision, get to know you, and bring your dream to life through meticulous planning and flawless execution. We do not take over and plan for you. We hold your hand and plan WITH you. This is your wedding, not ours.

Every couple books our base package for day-of coordination and can add on tailored planning time (partial or full service) at an hourly rate. Once you hire us for the day of, we are “on the bench and ready to be called into the game” for extra planning at any time. If life takes an unexpected turn or planning is consuming your life more than you’d like, just call or text. We are here to listen, advise, and accompany you through every aspect of the planning journey.

As your wedding planner, I vow to be your confidant, your advocate, and your greatest support. Whether you dream of a rustic countryside wedding, a glamorous city celebration, or a 3-day, non-stop wedding weekend to remember, let’s start planning the event of your dreams today!
