About
The Poised Events Team
Hi, I’m Donnah, the owner and founder of Poised Events. Born and raised in Canada, I started my career in Toronto, with a degree in Fashion Marketing Management. I quickly realized that the Hospitality Industry is where I needed to be. With my love of fashion, food, design and always thinking outside the box, I started to make to moves to further my career.
I moved to Denver 8 years ago for love… and yes, we’re still together!! It was natural for me to continue my passion within the industry and now with over 15 years working in the catering and events world, I finally decided it was time to become “she boss”. It all sounds so serious, but as you get to know me, I am all about the laughter, the adventure and being in the moment.
When I am not planning events or networking with the best, you can find me either in the gym training for a fitness competition, getting ready for a tough mudder or cruising the mountains on my Bonneville Triumph. I love to spend time with friends trying new restaurants, traveling to new places and taking the time to learn and be inspired.

Hello, my name is Alyssa and I’m from Denver, Colorado. I’m currently studying at Metropolitan State University of Denver, working towards my bachelors. I’m majoring in business management and minoring in hospitality management. I have been working with Donnah for 3 years now, putting together weddings, bar-mitzvahs, corporate events, and networking events. While working with her, I have been lucky enough to find my passion in the event industry. Donnah has been a great mentor to me, and I’ve enjoyed working with her throughout the years, helping me learn all I can about this industry!
When I’m not working, I love to be outdoors, whether that’s going on a hike or driving through the mountains. I also love going to the gym to lift and practice yoga. It keeps me focused and helps me remember to have a positive mindset!
