>> a natural talent in design & event coordination, regina masterfully crafts elegant & upscale weddings.

over ten years ago, regina alaimo entered the special events world through her work in the non-profit sector. gaining invaluable event experience & igniting her passion for planning, regina made the move from corporate to couture in 2009 with the launch of the boutique wedding coordination firm, cloud nove events. “i started the company with one goal in mind: to help couples be stress-free throughout their engagement & on their big day,” she says.

regina’s PROCESS beginning with a relaxed q & a, regina gath-ers the notes needed to give each couple that she works with the details they desire for their special day. sharing resources, guidance & expertise, she reassures them that there is no one right way to do things. “keep it simple & authentic,” she advises, which allows couples to be themselves & showcase their own individual style.

envisioning an elegant vineyard wedding, relaxed & rich in romantic details, lisa & tim sought regina’s help in managing all of their day-of duties & logistics. “lisa was a very organized bride,” regina says. “she was sweet & easy to work with.”

>> soft tablescapes & low lighting add a touch of warmth & femininity to the venue.

*detail-oriented lisa & tim left nothing to chance & when their day arrived regina was there to ensure that “chance” was not on the guest list. assisting with every detail big & small—from getting ready & dressing the tables, to assisting loved ones down the aisle—her passion & presence helped to create a solid foundation for the couple’s happily ever after.
