We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Melissa Lynn a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Alright, Melissa thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Alright – so having the idea is one thing, but going from idea to execution is where countless people drop the ball. Can you talk to us about your journey from idea to execution?
Azure Event Designs started as Miracles by Melissa. Miracles designed small events for family and friends…For Free! Birthday parties, anniversary parties, corporate events, and themed parties. I would volunteer for any event anyone allowed me to design.
In 2020, a friend of my family asked me to help with his proposal. It was extremely over the top, beautiful and she was surprised. From there they asked me to plan their destination wedding in Fort Lauderdale. Their wedding birthed Azure Event Designs! Since Covid was in full swing, planning was extremely difficult. I was unable to travel from Cincinnati to Florida for any planning so everything was planned over zoom calls, pictures and online. It was extremely difficult but turned out absolutely amazing! A lot of challenges but amazing!
Once we returned back to Cincinnati, Azure began receiving a ton of business and has continued to flourished.
Melissa, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
Azure Event Designs is a full service event planning company. We specialize in extravagant, whimsical, sophisticated and corporate events. We handle everything associated with a successful event. We do it all.
To set ourselves apart, we pride ourselves on the ability of not recreating ourselves. Each event is detailed to each clients needs and vision. We work with all of the best vendors to produce the ultimate experience.
What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?
Photo’s of our events have received upwards of 2k views in one week. This provided social media conversations with upcoming brides, and future clients. We receive exceptional detailed online reviews from previous clients which have created lasting referrals.
What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?
I come from Corporate America. My day to day consisted of problem solving of customer complaints. There was very little gratitude in that field. Being an event designer gives me the opportunity to be creative and ends with delighted clients.
