FAQs

What services do you offer?

We specialize in Full Planning Services and Design Services, including wedding day management.  Additionally, we offer Non - Denominational Marriage Commissioner services upon request.  

We maintain a custom and immersive experience with each client and as a result, we do not offer ‘Day Of’ services. We are currently booking FULL PLANNING 2025 wedding and event clients.

How long have you been planning weddings?

Owner Alli Polinsky has 13 years of wedding and event planning experience.  Alli started her career in venue management in Toronto while working alongside prominent wedding planners and she received her certification from the Wedding Planner’s Institute of Canada in 2010 before launching her own consultancy, Alli Mae Events in 2013.  Get to know more about her HERE. 

How many weddings do you plan each year?

Alli Mae Events plans and manages an average of 12 - 14 weddings per year. We maintain a special one on one relationship with each and every client and therefore only book ONE wedding per day.  Each wedding is personally planned and managed by Owner Allison Polinsky.

Are you comfortable working with same sex couples?

All couples are welcome.  We would be honoured to plan your special day!

Have you planned any Jewish weddings?

Alli’s first Jewish wedding took place in Toronto in 2012 and since that time she has planned over 25 Jewish Weddings ranging from interfaith to secular to orthodox.  Please inquire HERE to discuss your wedding vision with Alli and learn how she can support you and your family during the planning process. Mazel Tov!  

Do you plan other events aside from weddings?

You bet! In addition to weddings, Alli Mae Events plans and manages a handful of milestone events (like birthday parties or anniversaries) and mitzvahs.

Do you have any decor or set up services available?

We are a Wedding and Event Planning Consultancy ONLY and do not offer decor or set up / tear down of your rental items. Starting in 2021, we are proud to announce the launch of our sister company Something Borrowed for all your small event decor needs. Be sure to check out our website and give us a follow @somethingborrowedwr .

Do you have a preferred vendor list?

Alli Mae Events works with an inclusive, reputable and professional range of vendors from florists, to DJ’s to bakeries and more.  We are not exclusive to any particular vendor but rather present a variety of options custom to each client based on style and budget.  We NEVER take ‘kick-backs’ from vendors, but rather request our clients access special discounts from certain recommended vendors.

What types of budgets do you normally work with?

Every wedding is SO different based on priorities, vision and guest count but generally speaking, our clients have a starting budget of $40, 000 for a 100 person wedding. 

When should we book with you?

As soon as possible! We only book one wedding per day and an average of 12-14 weddings per year so availability is very limited.   We book a minimum six months before any function, however 12 months to 18 months prior is preferred for an optimal planning experience. We are booking 2025 Full Planning clients. If you are interested in chatting further about your special day, don’t delay - please inquire today!

Do you travel for weddings?

Alli Mae Events is based in Winnipeg, Canada.  We have managed weddings and events all over Canada and we are available for travel although priority is given to Manitoba based clients. Mileage fees will apply for weddings outside Winnipeg City Limits. Please inquire today for a custom quote.
