About à la Modon Events

à la Modon Events

Founder + Lead Creative Director

Alexandra Khoury Modon’s path to founding à la Modon Events is anything but conventional—woven through years of discipline, artistic expression, and an insatiable drive to bring visions to life. From visual and theatrical artist to Division I tennis player, courtroom prosecutor, and now event planner, she has mastered high-pressure environments, honed meticulous attention to detail, and refined the art of storytelling. Today, she channels that same precision and creativity into designing seamless, deeply personal events that reflect each client’s unique story.

Unmatched trust and value. The number one concern for couples is knowing their planner will protect their budget as carefully as their own. After 12 years as a prosecutor, I bring negotiation, precision, and advocacy to every event—uncovering savings others miss. à la Modon Events goes beyond aesthetics: we safeguard your investment and ensure every logistical detail is flawlessly executed, so you can be fully present for your important moment.

In three words: Honest, Innovative, Organized

    Stop your search, this is your planner

    Alexandra took my wedding vision and made it feel completely whole. Even as a type A person, I genuinely had zero stress or worries about how everything would be executed because I trusted her so completely, and that feeling on your wedding day is priceless. Her attention to detail is incredible. I especially loved that she took the time to go through every vendor contract, and her legal background gave me an extra level of confidence that absolutely everything was being considered and handled properly. She understood what I wanted, caught the little things, and made sure everything came together beautifully. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect, and I know Alexandra was a huge part of why I was able to just enjoy it instead of worrying about logistics. I already hope I get to work with her again in the future and will absolutely be finding any excuse to do so lol. Cannot recommend her enough!

    To be trusted by a fellow Type A person is probably the biggest compliment I've ever received! Thank you, Rachel, for this incredible review and for publicly sharing your experience. It truly means the world to us. We are grateful to have been apart of your special day and to have created the space to allow you and Dan to be fully present with your closest people. We would be thrilled to work with you again on any of your future life events. All our love!

    The Best Decision We Made!!

    There are very few people you meet during wedding planning who you know you’ll genuinely miss when it’s over. Alexandra is one of them. We had a pretty unconventional starting point. My husband Joel and I had already been together for 17 years and had a teenager before we decided to get married, so this was never going to be a traditional wedding. We got married on a Tuesday in Santa Barbara, with guests traveling from as far away as Europe and as close as Los Angeles, and everywhere in between. Most came from New York City, where we live. We wanted the wedding to feel intimate, chic, warm, personal, and completely un-fussy, and Alexandra understood that from the beginning. Planning from NYC while getting married across the country was no small undertaking. We even had to change both our restaurant and after-party venue at the last minute (!!!). Somehow, Alexandra handled every curveball with complete calm. She always seemed to have a solution before we even had time to worry about the problem. From our very first conversations, Alexandra just got us. Her background as a DA shows in her curiosity and incredible attention to detail. We had a lot of ideas, opinions, and probably a fair amount of chaos. She never made us feel like we were asking for too much or doing things the “wrong” way. She listened and turned all of our random thoughts and little details into a wedding that felt completely and unmistakably like us. She has incredible taste and an amazing eye, but what I loved most was that she never made the wedding about her vision. She made it about ours. She understood that we wanted intimate over grand, chic over fussy, and beautiful without feeling overly formal or staged. Every detail felt intentional, but nothing felt forced. She was also an absolute rock throughout the planning process: organized, responsive, thoughtful, patient, creative, and calm. She anticipated things we hadn't even thought about and made decisions feel easy when they could have been overwhelming. She understood not just what we wanted the wedding to look like, but what we wanted it to FEEL like. On our wedding day, she was simply incredible. She officiated our ceremony (!!) and completely nailed it with personal details, warmth, and grace. For the entire day and into the night, we got to be completely present with the people we love because Alexandra and her team member, Paulina (also a superstar!), were taking care of everything around us. They quietly managed an enormous number of moving pieces and somehow made the day feel effortless. We got to laugh, dance, eat, hug our friends and family, and actually experience our wedding instead of worrying about it. But honestly, what I will remember most is how much she cared. She cared about the little things that mattered to us, our family, our guests, and making the day feel like OUR wedding rather than just a beautiful event. Our wedding was everything we hoped it would be and more. Our guests are still talking about it, and so much of what made it special was Alexandra. I feel incredibly lucky that we found her, and even luckier that we got to know her along the way. If you are considering working with A La Modon Events, do not even think twice. You will get an incredibly talented planner with impeccable taste, but you will also get someone who genuinely cares about you and your event. And that makes ALL the difference!

    Jessica, thank you — this means more to me than I can say. You and Joel knew exactly what you wanted your day to feel like, and you trusted me completely with helping you realize that feeling, even through two last-minute venue changes from three thousand miles away. Getting to officiate your ceremony after seventeen years together was one of the great honors of my career and the huge cherry on top. And yes, Paulina is a superstar. I'll make sure she sees this. Thank you for letting me be part of such a personal chapter. You two have a planner-turned-friend in LA for life. All my love, Alexandra

    Exactly what we needed!

    We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding coordinator! From the very beginning, she took the time to customize a package that fit exactly what we were looking for instead of taking a one-size-fits-all approach. Throughout the planning process, she was incredibly responsive and always quick to answer the random questions we sent her. She met with us over Zoom several times and even met with our officiant beforehand, which helped her feel more comfortable and confident going into the ceremony. She thought of so many details we never would have considered and offered suggestions that truly elevated our day. She also communicated with all of our vendors to make sure everyone was on the same page and that everything ran smoothly. At the rehearsal, she kept everything organized and made sure everyone understood their roles so we could relax. On our wedding day, she made sure we felt calm and could truly enjoy every moment. She brought our vision to life, placing everything where we had envisioned while adding thoughtful touches that made it even more beautiful. She even made last-minute prints to fill an empty cork board and displayed our names and wedding date on the TV in a way that perfectly matched our theme. Her dedication didn’t end after the wedding. Even though it wasn’t included in our contract, she came back the next day to make sure everything was returned where it was supposed to be. That level of care meant so much to us. We are so grateful for her hard work, creativity, and support. She made our wedding day seamless, beautiful, and stress-free, and we would recommend her without hesitation to any couple looking for a thoughtful and reliable coordinator.

    Alexandra Modon•Aug 3, 2026

    The way you recounted all the details, big and small, means so much to us. Thank you! You are such an incredible couple, and I am truly honored you entrusted me to help you realize and enjoy the biggest day of your lives to date. It was so important to me that you both felt supported, calm, and confident in me and our services throughout the planning process and on the day of your wedding, so the fact that you did means we did our job! I look forward to seeing you thrive and grow together in love in marriage. You certainly had a beautiful start!

    Bride

    From our first conversation with Alex at Modon Events, we knew we had found our planner. She kept us informed every step of the way and gave us honest feedback about what would work best for our vision. Alex coordinated with all our vendors seamlessly and even scored us some great deals we didn't expect. What really set her apart was how much she cared—nothing was ever too much to ask, and she treated us like family throughout the entire process. She somehow manages to juggle being a working mom while still delivering the kind of attention to detail that made my princess wedding a reality. Alex refused to settle until we were 100% happy, and it shows. She's truly a rockstar, and we can't recommend her enough!

    Alexandra Modon•Jun 5, 2026

    This review means so much, Lindsey. Thank you for sharing your experience in such a detailed way. I’m grateful my care and attention were evident throughout the process — it’s your wedding day and deserves the highest care. It was truly an honor helping you realize your vision and live your dream. Looking forward to celebrating more of life’s wonderful milestones with you and your family!

    Groom

    I was thoroughly impressed with à la Modon Events. Alexandra was our wedding planner for partial planning and day-of coordination, and she made the whole process feel easy and stress-free, and I could see that my wife was much more relaxed when Alexandra was on-site. It was incredible. Alexandra kept us organized and coordinated with our vendors, and made sure our Los Angeles wedding ran perfectly from start to finish - she even factored in traffic for our out-of-town guests. What stood out most was not so much the great service we received, but how much she cared about making the day feel like ours. She was calm, detail-oriented, and seemed to be everywhere at once when we needed her. If you’re searching for a Los Angeles wedding planner who actually listens, communicates clearly, and delivers a flawless experience (and knows the traffic), I highly recommend Alexandra and à la Modon Events.

    Alexandra Modon•Oct 31, 2025

    Thank you so much, Timothy! It was such a joy working with you both and being part of your Los Angeles celebration. I’m so glad the day felt stress-free and truly reflected you as a couple — that’s always my biggest goal. Wishing you both endless happiness in this next chapter!


No, we don’t. As a boutique event planning company, à la Modon Events intentionally takes on only one wedding per weekend to ensure our full focus is on you. This is one of the key distinctions between a boutique planner and a large-scale agency. We believe every celebration deserves undivided attention — thoughtful planning, flawless execution, and constant communication. By dedicating ourselves exclusively to your event, we’re able to tell your story with care, precision, and the level of detail you’d give it yourself.
Yes — in fact, we love curating the entire wedding journey, not just the wedding day. From bridal showers and engagement soirées to welcome parties and rehearsal dinners, à la Modon Events ensures every event feels like a natural extension of your story. Our goal is to create a seamless, elevated experience from start to finish, where every detail connects back to you and your celebration.
That depends on the level of service you select. Full-service planning clients can expect consistent communication and collaboration throughout the entire journey - from design meetings to venue walkthroughs to final-week coordination. For partial planning or day-of coordination, our time together is more concentrated in the months and weeks leading up to your event. Regardless of the package, you’ll always receive personalized attention, clear communication, and a planning experience that feels seamless and supported.
What sets à la Modon Events apart is the blend of heart and strategy behind everything we do. I bring my background as a former attorney - skilled in negotiation, detail, and composure - into the creative world of event planning, where storytelling meets structure. I work with a select number of clients so you always have my full attention, honest guidance, and an experience that feels grounded, stress-free, and personal from start to finish.
We recommend reaching out as early as possible, ideally 9 to 18 months in advance for weddings and several months ahead for showers or milestone events. à la Modon Events takes on a limited number of celebrations each year to preserve the boutique experience our clients value most. Early booking ensures we can secure your dream venue, top vendors, and devote the full attention your story deserves.
Intentional, calm, and collaborative. I take time to understand what matters most to you and design from that foundation. My background as an attorney keeps logistics precise and communication clear, while my creative direction brings warmth and beauty to every detail. The result is a process that feels guided and stress-free, and an event that feels entirely, unmistakably you.
