Our Story: Meet the Passionate Duo Behind Your Boutique Event

Melissa and Emily are a dynamic mother-daughter duo with a true passion for crafting unforgettable events. Often called the real-life "Gilmore Girls" as they came of age together (if you're not familiar with the TV reference, get ready for a delightful binge-watch!), their journey into event planning began in Emily's childhood when they would organize elaborate parties together. This early start fostered their deep love for creating memorable moments.

Melissa’s Experience

Melissa brings over 20 years of experience to M&E Boutique Events, including a successful career as a business sales director.

Emily’s Expertise

Emily’s impressive background in the event industry complements Melissa’s experience. Her tenure at a 5-star hotel provided her with a deep understanding of luxury hospitality and high-end event management. She further honed her skills at a premier destination and event company, mastering the creation of immersive experiences. Most recently, Emily’s role as a membership manager at a local private sports club sharpened her ability to cater to discerning clients and manage exclusive events. Her hands-on experience in luxury events enhances their service, ensuring precision and flair in every detail.

The Inspiration Behind M&E Boutique Events

The idea for M&E Boutique Events was sparked when Melissa, after finding the love of her life, struggled to locate a planner for her own intimate, upscale wedding. Realizing there was a gap in the market for specialized boutique event planning, Melissa and Emily combined their expertise to bring their vision to life. This success inspired them to start M&E Boutique Events, where they now focus on creating intimate, upscale gatherings that blend the personal touch of a small event with the sophistication of a grand affair.
