Q & A Session Part 1 with Jiwon McCartney


Jiwon McCartney is the Managing Director of
ALLURE Event and Meeting Productions.


...yes, she's the boss lady ;)

Read along to find out some interesting facts about ALLURE!

How did you come up with the name for your company?

We wanted a name that was not specific. A name that sounded nice and described something. “ALLURE” as many words, has a variation of definitions, but the one that stood out was “To attract with something desirable; entice”. We pondered on this definition and translated to what we felt events and meetings needed at the time ALLURE opened its doors. As passionate team of event & meeting producers and planners, this is what we wanted to do “attract” & “entice” clients with a “desirable” production and plan of their vision. Hence ALLURE stuck and we have been ALLURE since 2007!

What's the most interesting event/meeting/wedding that you put together?

Weddings: Danielle and Angel’s Wedding at Dean Gardens Private Estate – Atlanta, GA

This 250 guest wedding was elaborate, challenging and beautiful! The Bride was native of GA and a southern belle. The Groom was from Argentina and they met while he was going to school in NY. The venue was 3 football fields in length and the wedding was entirely outside! It was a beautiful 5pm ceremony and the sun was out just enough to be eye level. ALLURE brought in parasol umbrellas for all guests to shade themselves pre processional and the pictures were gorgeous! It was a dreamy southern wedding ceremony! We had a 6 piece band and they added Sevillana dancers imported from Argentina for guest entertainment. Custom upscale grill menu and unique seating arrangements that kept with the landscape of the venue made guests feel comfortable I their setting. To end the evening, Mardi Gras paraphernalia were handed out to send the Bride and Groom off to their new wedded Bliss! And to think this was just “some” of the wedding’s details! A Party to remember indeed!




I'll be posting a weekly Q+A, your questions are also welcome!
