"Since earning my degree in Visual Communication, I have spent years planning and producing every kind of event out there, from holidays and occasions to weddings and corporate events. I strongly believe we should celebrate every day!"
Melanie is 45 years old, a firefighter’s wife, and mother to their 3 grown children, Katie, Sean and Ryan. Best of all, she is mimi to Katie’s daughter, Payton. For too many years to count, she spent much of her time volunteering for the kids’ schools and working at her county’s Office of Education. As much as she enjoyed all of that, she is happy those years are behind her. More recently, she has spent her time creating and designing party printables for her blog and shop. She also helps look after Payton, of course.
"I’m a no-nonsense millennial wife and mother, and I’m all about YOUR event vibes and vision. This girl gets it done! I always aim to please, and I love all the different ways in which we celebrate."
Katie is a 24-year-old wife and mother to the most precious human being in the entire world, according to Mimi. Until going full-time with event planning, she worked part-time as a veterinary receptionist. She and her husband, Tyler, who works for our local irrigation district, were married October 2019, thankfully before anyone had even heard of this pandemic. Little Payton was born in March of that year and got to be the surprise guest at their wedding! Even with the slight interruption and unexpected addition to their little family, they did enjoy a long engagement. Mimi likes to point out that ‘Payton came at exactly the right time; we just didn’t know why they wanted such a long engagement!’ Nonetheless, it all worked out beautifully and their friends and family were tickled to have Payton in attendance on such a special day.
