Hi, I'm Erika
Romanticizer of Every Celebration
Designer of Unforgettable Moments
Forever Inspired by Good Company
I'm the founder, voice, and creative eye behind Allora Mae, a business built on one simple belief: the bar is the best part of your celebration.
After years helping plan events in Southern California, and studying at the Italian Culinary Institute in Italy, I fell in love with how Italians celebrate- they understand that life happens around a good drink, great food, and genuine connection. I brought that philosophy to Texas with me. I learned that while great events need great planning, the bar is where people gather and celebrate. So, I went all-in on creating a space where you can celebrate life the way Italians do: slowly, intentionally, and together.
I help create bar experiences that feel personal and memorable. When I'm not mixing drinks or designing your bar, you'll find me exploring food, cooking, or spending time with my dogs or beautiful nieces. This is my love letter to celebrating life right.
