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 WeddingWire Couples’ Choice Award in 2018, 2019, and 2020.
