I’m Alegria Sita — a Type A Hippy. Meticulously organized, smitten with spreadsheets and detailed itineraries, and a master planner extraordinaire — and yet also a golden-hour light chaser, binge-podcast listener, no stranger to barefoot walks in the forest followed by curling up by a cozy fire with a hazelnut latte with coconut milk. I’m an Aquarius dreamer with a Virgo moon/Virgo rising, which means I plan diligently, feel deeply, and simultaneously hold the big picture while remembering the tiniest details. I’m a dancer, a world traveler, and a mom to one incredible kiddo. I love shoes with sparkles, sushi, a shot of tequila, and creating moments that feel joyful, intentional, and entirely authentic.

​

I’ve been planning events since I was 13, long before I knew I could turn it into a career. In 2010, I earned my Wedding & Event Planning Certification with honors and founded Gala Events & Weddings, bringing my passion for intentional, soulful gatherings to couples across California’s Redwood Coast and beyond.

 

As a trilingual, non-denominational wedding officiant, I’ve been marrying couples since 2008 in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, crafting ceremonies that authentically reflect each couple’s personality, love story, and values. From intimate forest weddings under towering redwoods to elegant coastal celebrations with friends and family, I help couples create weddings that feel deeply personal, intentional, and unforgettable.

​

I’ve lived on the Redwood Coast for nearly 30 years and graduated from Cal Poly Humboldt with a BA in 2004. I’m deeply invested in my community, from volunteering on nonprofit boards for the Eureka-Humboldt Convention & Visitors Bureau and Sequoia Park Zoo Foundation, to currently chairing the Fuente Nueva Charter School Council. My professional experience spans events large and small — from community festivals to retreats to intimate weddings — all planned with care, clarity, and heart.

​

​​Clients describe me as calm, steady, and deeply present — someone who listens first, anticipates needs, and brings heart, logistical superpowers, and elevated design to every event. I believe weddings shouldn’t be about stress or spectacle; they’re about connection, presence, and creating memories that last a lifetime.

​

If you’re a couple who values meaning, authenticity, and intention we’re already on the same page. I’m here to guide your wedding with clarity, care, and heart — so you can focus on what matters most: your love, your people, and the experience of your day.
