A note from us
The occasion matters.
So do the people
you bring together.
Hi, we're Ntsumi and Carmen. Behind every gathering is a reason: a team that earned a thank-you, a client you want to treat well, a cause close to your heart, or something you've worked hard to build. We started Melius Events so you can enjoy that moment instead of managing it. We'll listen first, plan the details with you, and be there on the night, so you'll always know who to call and who's looking after things.

A reason to reconnect
An evening with your people.
A fall gathering is a good moment to reconnect before the year-end rush.
A little inspiration, not an availability calendar. Holiday dates fill quickly, so reach out early.
Some ideas for your occasion
Every gathering
starts somewhere.
We're building our first chapter. Here are four ideas we'd love to bring to life with you: concepts, rather than events we've already produced.
Every concept can be produced for your guest list. Ask us to walk you through any of them on the first call. These are illustrative concepts, not completed Melius events.
How we work
A good plan makes
room for a good time.
You don't need to arrive with a finished brief. A date, a rough headcount, and a reason to celebrate are a good place to start.
Tell us about your people.
What's the occasion? Who's coming? What would make it a good evening for you?
Get the details right.
We plan the venue, food, drinks, music, and the way the room should feel.
Know where you stand.
You approve a line-item budget before we book anything. We manage the vendors and keep you in the loop.
Leave the running to us.
We're both there, working from a detailed run of show, from setup to the last guest.
The people behind Melius
Two founders.
One familiar team.
You'll work directly with the people planning your event. Both of us will be there on the day, too.

The practical things
Before you reach out.
How can we work together?＋
Tell us about your occasion using the form below. We'll set up a short call, then send a plan and a quote.
How do we reserve a date?＋
Once you approve the plan and quote, we'll confirm your date in writing.
Can you support a nonprofit event?＋
Yes. Nonprofits receive 20% off, and we plan around your budget and mission.
What if we've already made plans?＋
No problem. We can step in for day-of coordination only, or take over from wherever you are.
Let's start with a conversation
What are you
getting together for?
A little detail is plenty to start. Tell us about your occasion and we'll get back to you within one business day.
