Hi Friends! My name is Dori, and you have FOUND ME! LOL. Who doesn’t love Finding Nemo?! BUT I promise not to be as flighty and forgetful as my adorable blue counterpart. Anyhoo, I am the original co-founder of Allegro Entertainment, and worked in the Wedding Industry for a 13 years. I no longer work in events full-time, but still keep my toes in the pool for side projects here and there.
Starting in 2009, I began providing music entertainment and therapy for memory care residents, within the senior living communities in St. Louis, on a part-time basis. This experience ultimately lead to me selling Allegro Entertainment and stepping into senior care full-time.
Currently, I work full-time for Amada Senior Care in Richmond VA as their Community Liaison (Sales & Marketing). I help families receive in-home personal care, navigate senior living options, and understand financial coordination revolving around senior care planning. I LOVE my job, and my clients ♥
During my wedding career, I have been blessed to have been able to….
- Plan Weddings with over 1,900 Engaged Couples
- Work with High Profile Corporate Clients
- Develop Strong Relationships with Event Vendors
- Local Networking Leader for “Association of Bridal Consultants” 2011 – 2018
- St. Louis, MO Director of Membership for “International Live Events Assoc. ” 2020 – Current
I’m a busy-body perfectionist, with a lot of drive and ambition. I love working with people, and making their special life moments absolutely spectacular.
