The Faces Behind Aliment
Riley Ferenbach-Fahselt
With a passion for events that break free from the norm and showcase originality, Riley creates hands-on experiences with personal touches that every attendee will remember long after the event. After earning a degree in Interior Design, she brought her knowledge of visual display, spatial awareness, functionality, and our emotional environment into the world of events. The execution of her designs and the events she produces genuinely exude her enthusiasm and the high standard she holds herself to. Simply put, she creates spaces and culinary experiences that people feel excited to be a part of, no matter the occasion.
