Name: Stefany Allongo, Founder of Married in Palm Beach and CityTins Palm Beach
Where do you live in Palm Beach County? Wellington, FL
How long have you lived here? I’m a born and raised Palm Beacher and have been in Wellington since I was 6.
What do you love about living in Palm Beach County? The weather is incredible! There is always something fun to do – from the incredible restaurants, festivals, green markets, beach, gardens, zoos, and so much more! We are never bored. Also, love our proximity to Miami and Orlando.
How many children do you have? 2
What are their ages? 5 years old and 2 years old
What is your job description? I have the best job in the world! With both Married in Palm Beach and CityTins Palm Beach, I get to support small, local businesses.
After 10 years as a wedding planner, I founded Married in Palm Beach. It is the only online resource solely dedicated to weddings in the Palm Beaches. We have comprehensive vendor listings and planning advice for couples looking to tie the knot.
My husband discovered CityTins when he lived in Milwaukee and we decided to bring it down to the Palm Beaches. CityTins is a clever little tin chock full of coaster gift cards, each worth $10 off your tab at 20+ locally owned restaurants within Palm Beach County. To pick where you are going for the night, you use the game spinner that comes in the tin, so it’s also very playful.
They are the perfect gift for friends, family, teachers, or any hard to shop for person. They retail for $30 and are available for purchase online or at local retailers. We are also working with some organizations to sell these unique gifts as their fundraiser! So fun!
What is your favorite activity to do in Palm Beach with your family? It’s a tie between visiting Lion Country Safari and Loggerhead Marine Center. We also love going to see Sandy the Sand Christmas Tree during the holidays.
Best piece of parenting advice you have received: “To always remember to have fun!” So every day, we try to do at least one thing that is fun as a family. Whether it is a dance party in the kitchen, going to our neighborhood park, or visiting some of the local sites, it doesn’t matter how big or small the action is – what matters is that the family is smiling and having fun.
