Meet Kimberly Richmond, Global Director of Sales, Destination Weddings by ALHI, combined her passion for event planning with an extensive hotel background by launching Runaway Bride, an international destination wedding planning company that has been featured in Brides and Grace Ormonde Weddings. She is also the president of the International Association for Destination Wedding Professionals (IADWP) D.C. Area Chapter. Once known as the "Runaway Bride," Kimberly has finally tied the knot, proving that even wedding planners can have their own happily ever after! A devoted animal lover, Kimberly’s passion extends beyond her professional life. Away from the office, Kimberly founded Posh Pets, a luxury pet-care company that also partners with rescue organizations to help pets find loving homes.
