Alison Laesser-Keck is an event planner/designer and the founder of Viva La Diva. Armed with a degree in counseling and over a decade of experience in the event industry, she is the quintessential people person; a social butterfly who is inspired by the lives of both friends and strangers alike. As an entrepreneur and designer, she has been recognized by the likes of MarthaStewart.com, Style Me Pretty and Hour Detroit. Past clients include Starbucks and Microsoft, to name a few. In 2008, after working with venues in Seattle, Alison decided to branch out on her own and thus, Viva La Diva was born.

Bryan Keck  comes to Viva La Diva with over fifteen years of experience at award-winning restaurants and lounges across the country, where much of his focus was the coordination of private events. Truly the analytic "left brain" version to Alison's creativity-loving "right", Bryan's strength is his ability to organize the planning process and break it down into small, manageable steps. In addition to being Viva La Diva's business manager, his primary role is handling the logistics side of event production, although his passion especially lies in creating and cultivating relationships with our clients and their families.
