We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Michella Agduyeng & Nina Xoum a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Michella Agduyeng & Nina Xoum, appreciate you joining us today. We’d love to go back in time and hear the story of how you came up with the name of your brand?
We are two best friends who grew up together since the age of 3. We also lived on the same street called Willow Drive which is how we came up with our business name. Growing up, we shared many similarities, passions, and have always had an eye for details. Throughout the years, there was always a reason to plan an event. We love a good backdrop to capture memories. It was something we enjoyed doing for fun!
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
We are a best friend duo who grew up together since we were children. Our families lived on the same street, Willow Drive, hence the name Willow Events. Our passion for event planning began at a young age when we assisted our families with decorating and coordinating for birthdays, weddings and other special occasions. And since we started growing our own families, hosting our own parties became a way to let our creativity shine. This love for making an event personable is the reason we are here today. We are a Murfreesboro based full-service event planners specializing in creative decor, handmade back drop and prop rentals. Whether it be a small intimate dinner or a large wedding reception, no event is too big or too small for us to transform your vision into its own meaningful and personal experience. There are many event designers out there who provide the same services we do, however, what sets us apart from the rest is our willingness to remain open and flexible with our clients. Communication with the client is essential for a successful event.
We are most proud of our ability to design and help our client’s create beautiful memories. We’d like our potential clients to know that every little detail counts. We will always strive to go above and beyond.
What’s worked well for you in terms of a source for new clients?
Our clientele grew through word of mouth referrals, as well as social media. With family, friends and clients reposting our work, that gave us the opportunity to reach other potential clients.
What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?
The most rewarding aspect for us would be seeing our concept come to life. Every client has a vision of how they expect their event to turn out and it gives us gratification to know that we can not only deliver, but also exceed their expectations.
