Our story

I am a strong woman because a strong woman raised me.

My mom (Louise) has always loved to go thrift shopping! She slowly started to collect tablecloths and a few dish sets throughout the years. It wasn’t until I (Ali) got married in 2014 that our collection really grew! We started with a few storage sheds (pics below), only working when the weather was nice enough to be outside. When Covid hit, we were finally able to find the time to move to our current location, “The Shop” - an old canning factory in Galesville, WI. This is where AliLou Events really took off!

We have always loved to shop for bargains and want to share our collection with others! Every bride, groom or party host should have the event of their dreams without spending a fortune! It brings us such joy when people see their ideas come to life!
