Our Story

✨ Meet Lura
Creative Director. Champagne Whisperer. Chaos Calmer-in-Chief.

Lura Albee isn’t just the face of Extraordinary Events — she’s its beating heart and boldest voice. With over a decade of experience designing jaw-dropping weddings, globe-trotting celebrations, and corporate soirées that actually impress, Lura brings a signature mix of elegance, wit, and white-glove precision to every detail.

With a background in design and luxury hospitality, Lura learned early how to command a room — and how to make every guest feel like royalty. After years working alongside top designers and elite planners, she launched Extraordinary Events with one mission: to make magic feel effortless (and effortless look fabulous).

Whether she's orchestrating a four-day destination wedding in Tuscany or transforming a Napa vineyard into a corporate gala with haute couture flair, Lura turns high expectations into higher standards. Clients trust her not just to deliver — but to dazzle.

“Lura is a genius. I gave her a mood board and a prayer, and she gave me the most breathtaking day of my life — down to the last chilled glass of rosé.”

“I’ve worked with planners all over the world, and no one matches Lura’s poise under pressure, eye for detail, or ability to make a VIP feel seen.”

Known for her impeccable timing, fearless creativity, and the uncanny ability to read a room before it even exists, she’s the reason Extraordinary Events lives up to its name.

When she’s not fine-tuning floor schematics or taste-testing dessert tables (someone has to do it), you’ll find Lura dancing at the afterparty — because unforgettable moments deserve a little sparkle and a lot of soul.

This is her story. Now, let’s make yours legendary.

Cheers,
(Champagne’s chilling. Let’s go.) 🥂
