About Shari Alhashemi

Founder, CEO and Creative Director of Pink Wasabi Events, Shari Alhashemi is known for her signature mix of bold creativity and meticulous production. With a background rooted in luxury retail and high-end marketing, Shari’s journey into the world of event design began long before she ever held a clipboard or crafted a timeline.

Her early career at top global design houses refined her eye for style and detail. It wasn’t long before prominent event planners began hiring Shari to execute high-profile productions, and photographers sought her touch to style editorial shoots and elevate social media content. Her reputation for flawless execution, modern elegance, and storytelling through design quickly made her a go-to creative force in the industry.

In 2014, Shari founded Pink Wasabi Events — a passion project that combines everything she loves: event production, luxury aesthetics, creative strategy, photo styling, and technology. What started as a niche offering quickly evolved into a full-service planning and design studio, trusted by couples and brands alike to bring unforgettable events to life.

Pink Wasabi Events is more than a production company. Under Shari’s direction, it becomes a wanderlust-inspired journey where dreams meet logistics, and creative vision is transformed into beautiful, tangible reality. Whether it’s an intimate elopement, a high-fashion editorial, or a large-scale celebration, her work celebrates love, personality, and the magic of meaningful moments.

Her “secret sauce”? A rare blend of sass, spice, and sophistication — served with a deep understanding of what makes a celebration truly unforgettable. With Shari at the helm, clients gain not just a planner, but a creative partner who honors the emotion behind every milestone and ensures every detail has its place.

Curious about the name Pink Wasabi? It’s a story worth sharing — and Shari would love to tell you more over a call or in person.
