About MK Events

MK Events

Owner/Certified Event Planner

Hi, I’m Melissa! In 2020, I set out to create a flexible, parent-friendly haven for hospitality talent. Now, my team and I bring Hilton-level service to your wedding—because after all that time, money, and stress, you deserve to actually enjoy your day. We’ve handled it all: "My Airbnb canceled yesterday!" | "My photographer ghosted!" | "I FORGOT MY BOUQUET!" The chaos stops here. Serving Canton, OH + beyond with Hilton-grade service and toddler-level enthusiasm. Let’s turn your "I do" into "We nailed it!"

Here’s the truth—we’re not your average planners. While others follow timelines, we’re the ones spotting your panic when the cake arrives smashed. We’re hospitality veterans (the kind who can reseat a reception in 5 minutes flat) and parent-pros who troubleshoot disasters before they ruin your vibe. Transpo no-show? We’ve called in favors. Grandma’s walker stuck in gravel? We carried her. Others say “not my job”—we’re the ones hand-sewing your bustle mid-reception because your joy is our mission. You deserve planners who treat your wedding like it’s ours—because to us, it is.

In three words: Collaborative, Fun, Organized

    Literally cannot recommend MK Events enough! We initially were not going to hire a wedding coordinator, but in the end, it was probably the absolutely smartest thing we ever did. Melissa, Sonia, and Amanda were absolutely INCREDIBLE. They were so sweet, so kind, so accommodating, so professional, so organized, produced very quality work, and were absolutely wonderful to share my perfect day with. They made this day so stress-free for me ... if there were any hiccups on my wedding day, I definitely didn't know about them because of how swiftly they took care of them for me! Will recommend them any chance I can get lol

    We absolutely loved our experience working with MK Events! Melissa was a breath of fresh air throughout the wedding planning process and never failed to ease our anxieties and remind us that this would be a fun, special day for us! When the day ultimately came she executed to perfection! She managed setup/cleanup/ and vendor communication day of that allowed my husband and I to try to enjoy our day the best we could. Thanks Melissa and Kourtney for helping it be such a memorable day!!

    I had the pleasure of working with Melissa and Kourtney (and Sonia!) for my recent wedding. As an out of state (and admittedly - a space case!) bride they were on top of all the things I wasn’t. Quick to respond to any crazy question I had, guided me thru the craziness, and did not hesitate to take charge of any situation- professionally. I am forever grateful for their expertise and the help they provided during and leading up to our wedding! Do not hesitate to work with these rockstars!! (And bonus points from me for a team that grabs a Swenson’s Galley Boy after an awesome event!)

    If you’re considering hiring a (day of) coordinator, you can stop your search, because you will want to hire Melissa & Kourtney of MK Events!! Hands down, no competition. I truly don’t have the words for how appreciative we are of the two of them and all that they did for us leading up to/on our special day. They kept everything stress free, and any time I became anxious about something, Melissa was sure to ease my mind. The day of our wedding, they took care of everything and more. They were constantly checking in on us to ensure we weren’t stressing, and we had anything that we needed/wanted. They made the day run unbelievably smooth, and they kept us on time and organized. Throughout the reception, they were asking us if we needed any drinks/water/desserts. Again, always making sure we had everything we wanted/needed. I have no clue how they managed to have any extra time on their hands, but they even took pictures for us- over 300!! Something I was so grateful for, so we could relive our beautiful day almost immediately through the photos they captured. They cleaned up everything for us! We didn’t have to do any sort of break down at the end of the night- they handled it all!! I will forever be thankful to the two of them, and their services were worth every single penny. When we think back to our wedding day, the two of them will be a special part of our memories. They treated us like we were long time friends, and I’ll be forever grateful!!
