Meet the Founder
Lura Albee
Founder & Lead Planner · Napa Valley
Lura Albee founded Extraordinary Events in 2012, after years spent learning what separates a beautiful wedding from an unforgettable one. A decade on, she leads a small Napa Valley studio producing high-end weddings — from Silverado Trail vineyard vows to destinations far beyond the valley.
Her reputation travels on two things: an eye for design, and a vendor list built from a decade of real relationships. Winery estates, florists, caterers, bands, photographers — Lura knows who delivers, what things truly cost, and how to negotiate hard on your behalf without losing an ounce of grace.
Then there's the calm. Mountaintop wineries where every guest arrives by shuttle. Vendors who fall through. A wedding postponed mid-pandemic. Lura has steered all of it, and her couples describe the result the same way every time — they got to be guests at their own wedding.
The Approach
How Lura works
Taste, refined
Design that feels considered rather than trend-chased — layered florals, light and texture, matched to the place and to the two of you.
Logistics, mastered
Budgets, timelines, permits, shuttle schedules. The unglamorous machinery is where an unforgettable day is actually built.
Presence, on the day
Lura is on site from first delivery to final send-off — so you stay in your champagne era, not your spreadsheet era.
Lura is truly extraordinary. Her professionalism and attention to detail was obvious to us from the beginning…
