Hi, I’m Melissa!
After nearly 20 years in the event world, I’ve learned two things to be true:
It’s not what you know, it’s what you can figure out.
The person who says something cannot be done should never interrupt the one doing it.
Event planning consistently ranks as one of the most stressful jobs in the world (thanks, Forbes), and while that may be true… at this point I’ve seen it all. Missed flights, broken stages, last-minute menu changes, budget curveballs, executive opinions arriving five minutes before doors open - you name it.
These days, I’m a cool little cucumber and deeply allergic to unnecessary chaos.
What I Believe About Events
People may not remember every detail of your event, but they will always remember how you made them feel.
That’s why great events aren’t just well-produced.
They’re thoughtful, intentional, and aligned to real business goals.
And yes, they should also be fun.
How I Got Here
I learned events on the agency side, which is basically an event bootcamp. I was exposed to every format, every fire drill, and every behind-the-scenes detail you can imagine (and I’ve got the stories to prove it).
Later, working in-house taught me how events actually move the needle. How to measure impact, justify spend, build strategy, and use events as a powerful lever for growth, pipeline, and brand.
That combination is my secret sauce:
I know how events work — and why they matter.
And while I’m technically “one person,” a trusted bench of experts backs me. Plus my very serious office assistants, Pinot & Mr. Smalls, who are extremely committed to attending calls and finding the warmest possible place to nap once their workday is complete.
The Bottom Line
This is a collaborative process, but I know how overwhelming events can feel on top of all the other jobs you’re already doing.
Tell me where it hurts.
We’ll make a plan.
And we’ll make it enjoyable along the way.
