My name is Manda Gill and I have been working in the events industry since 2013, Most recently running the events at The Milwaukee Art Museum.
I have a Bachelor's Degree from the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee and a strong background in art and design. I started my event career as a catering server during college. That position led me to Event Coordinator, Event Sales, Event Management, Event Planning and Director of Events. Working one on one with families is why I am an Event Planner. I joke that my decades of experience allow me to absorb all the stress that goes into creating unique events, allowing my clients to experience joy.
I believe that every wedding should be a reflection of the couple getting married and I am here to facilitate that goal. I am here for you- from navigating timelines, finding vendors that meet your needs or guiding you through the design process.
When I am not working, I spend most of my time with my 5 year old daughter, Leya.
Leya has her Mama’s passion for art so we are almost always creating in one way or another. I am a bit of a fashion nut- constantly thrifting and hunting for vintage wares. During the summer I am on my bike as often as possible and really love exploring what Milwaukee has to offer.
I look forward to helping create your vision and celebrating your love.
Cori comes with a creative twist and a “Why Not” outlook. Having gotten her BFA in Design from the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design and growing up surrounded by artists, she loves being creative. Her background includes advertising, exhibit design and now event design.
Most recently, Cori was the Event Director at Pritzlaff Events. Under her leadership, Cori opened the historic venue in 2011. Producing hundreds of events, pushing floor plans, ceiling décor, while working with a wide array of materials and styles. She turned the Pritzlaff into one of Milwaukee’s premier venues. Now, she has joined her passion of creating unique weddings with the team at Événement.
Cori feels her career was a natural progression from 2D design into 3D design. She refers to events as “Experiential Design.” Events are experienced! We begin that experience from the moment the invitation arrives. We experience the ceremony, the music, the food, the floral, but do we experience a design concept?
This is where the magic begins. Together you will dig in… You will find your voice… Your personality… Your concept! Are you Sweet and romantic? Bold and modern? Minimalist and clean? Quirky and colorful? The possibilities are endless! Feel free to reach out and start the process!
événement’s connection with their clients and their enthusiasm for their vision allows them to tailor an event with the personal details that elevate it to an experience.
By planning, designing, and coordinating your event, événement saves you time and stress. More important, you and your guests will have the time of your life.
The press and our clients agree that our events are big hits...probably because we strive for 100% customer satisfaction. From email updates about how the planning is going to managing the day of the event, we will support you the whole way through.
Let's get together and start creating memories!
