About Always Special Events

Always Special Events

Owner

Audra started with just making balloon bouquets out of her garage. Her interest in decorating continued and throughout the years she has helped clients plan a variety of events, choose decor; napkins, plates, favors, printed napkins, and of course centerpieces - to make the ultimate tablescape. Audra left the event planning industry to pursue a career in Real Estate, but that didn’t stop her from decorating for fundraisers, holiday parties, baby showers and weddings. It is truly a passion project and something that has always brought her joy. In 2010, Audra relocated to Sarasota, Florida and started Always Special Events in 2013.

Audra is a Certified Wedding Planner from The Bridal Society, an Accredited Event Designer from the Institute of Wedding & Event Design, and was awarded the Couples’ Choice Award in 2018, 2019, and 2020.
