ALANA FUTCHER
Alana is as seasoned as they come (with over 75 weddings under her belt!). Alana has made a name for herself in the Charlottesville special events community, and we are so fortunate to have her on our team. Raised in Virginia, Alana is a proud graduate of Virginia Tech with a B.A. in Public Relations and Communications. For Alana, every wedding is a chance to transport her couples to an unforgettable, romantic escape where they can celebrate their love story with friends and family. Her work has recently been featured on top wedding blogs like: Style Me Pretty, Ruffled, Wedding Chicks, and Carats & Cake.
In her spare time, Alana plays a huge role in organizing charitable events at her local community’s Relay for Life. She also enjoys watching football (Go Steelers and Hokies!), loving on her sweet pup Bentley, or tackling a tough hike.

JENA FLURER
Jena realized her love for weddings and her natural ability to coordinate events after planning her own wedding to her college sweetheart at the picturesque Inn at Willow Grove.
And this lady is one smart cookie! After graduating from High Point University with a B.A. in History and Studio Art, she went to Law School at the University of Baltimore School of Law. Her strengths in both the art world, as well as the world of law have combined to create one incredible planner, and we’re thrilled to have her on the Chancey Charm team.
When she’s not planning events, you can find her painting, crafting, designing, or more likely, chasing after her daughter and/or her pup Waldo.

COLLEEN MCDONOUGH
Colleen got her start in the events industry during her time at James Madison University when she did a public relations internship. It was during this time that she fell in love with planning and executing events, and knew she wanted to pursue a career in the events industry when she graduated. After graduation, Colleen worked for Kendra Scott doing philanthropic events. She then gained experience planning weddings by serving as an Event Coordinator for a popular wedding venue in Charlottesville, VA.
Colleen considers herself to be a global citizen, having lived in Europe for half of her life before moving to the US during her freshman year of high school. She has lived in Germany, Hungary, Italy, Romania, and Turkey. When she’s not planning unforgettable events, Colleen loves listening to jazz music and classic crooners. She also enjoys exploring Charlottesville and Annapolis with her boyfriend.
