At the heart of MES Event Group lies a deep-rooted inspiration drawn from my late grandmother and mother, the true heart and soul of our family gatherings. They thrived on serving people and were always the life of the party. The joy they brought to our family events sparked a passion in me for creating memorable experiences. This familial love for bringing people together inspired me to transform my passion into a career, and it continues to motivate me every day.

Building a Legacy

My WHY is my family. Building a legacy and generational wealth is incredibly important to me and my husband. My success, my drive, and my dedication are all for my family and in memory of my parents. They are the reason I strive to excel and create a business that not only supports us but also brings joy to others. My journey and everything I do are dedicated to honoring their legacy and ensuring a bright future for my children.

The Story Behind MES Event Group

The journey of MES Event Group truly began in 2009 after organizing an elaborate second birthday party for my son. I purchased an Elmo mascot, decorated extensively, and realized how much joy it brought to everyone. This sparked an idea, and I decided to keep the mascot and invest in more characters. A few years later, this passion evolved into a full-blown business called A&K Party Pals in Omaha, Nebraska. Our business took off, and we were constantly booked.

After moving to Arizona in 2021, I rebranded to MES Event Group, focusing on special events, sporting events, festivals, and corporate events. My story is rooted in family, love, and a commitment to creating unforgettable experiences.

Overcoming Hardships

The most significant hardships I’ve faced came in 2014 when I lost my mother to stomach cancer and then my father four years later. Taking care of both of them while being a mother, wife, and running my business was incredibly challenging. Balancing these responsibilities taught me resilience and the importance of perseverance. These personal losses have profoundly impacted me, but they also strengthened my resolve to build a lasting legacy for my family.

The Rewards of Leadership

The most rewarding aspect of being the CEO of MES Event Group is bringing people’s visions to life. Seeing the excitement and satisfaction on my clients’ faces when their event exceeds expectations is incredibly fulfilling. Additionally, watching my team grow and thrive in a supportive and creative environment is something I take great pride in. Their success is a reflection of our collective efforts and dedication.

A Diverse and Dynamic Company

My favorite thing about MES Event Group is the diversity of events we get to work on. From corporate events and festivals to intimate weddings and social gatherings, each project brings its own set of challenges and rewards. This variety keeps the work exciting and allows us to continuously innovate and improve our services. Additionally, the positive feedback and appreciation we receive from our clients make all the hard work worthwhile.

Behind the Scenes Challenges

One of the most difficult aspects of the event planning industry is managing the countless details and logistics that go into executing a successful event. Many people don’t realize the level of coordination and problem-solving required behind the scenes. From vendor management and timeline coordination to troubleshooting unexpected issues on the day of the event, it requires a high level of organization and adaptability. Despite these challenges, the satisfaction of delivering a flawless event makes it all worth it.

In every event we create, the legacy of my family lives on, and it is this personal touch that makes MES Event Group truly special.
