We had the good fortune of connecting with Albriana Youyoute and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
I am an event and wedding planner. I plan and design high-end events for people who want to create an over-the-top experience for their guests.

My client-centered and intentional designs are what set me apart. You will never see me replicate a design from one event to the next. I and forward-thinking and a trendsetter.

I also offer coaching and consulting to novice planners and designers who need help to take their designs to the next level.

This past June, I released my first coloring book, available on Amazon, on black love and marriages.

I am where I am because of God. He removed me from my corporate job and allowed me to pursue my love and passion for event planning and design. It was not easy, a lot of prayers, investing in myself, and No’s got me where I am today.

The number one lesson I’ve learned is not to allow other people to project their fears on your dreams and visions. If you have the desire to do anything, do it. Boldly.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
My favorite places in Miami to visit look, sound, and feels like Miami. There are so too many to choose from. I love the beach and museums. For food, Milky Milky, My Way Steakhouse, Midtown Miami, Sushi Kong, basically any new restaurant or experience, I’m there.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?

God gave me the talent. I want to honor him by sharing my gift with others. I believe everyone who desires to elevate their design skills should be able to do so. I offer coaching and consulting to event pros looking to elevate and refine their designs and portfolio.

My husband is my biggest cheerleader. He keeps me grounded. He pushes me and supports me.

My team is always there, putting in 100% to do whatever is needed so that each event is spectacular. I also want to shout out my clients who trust me with the design of their events.
