MEET MANDA GILL
Planner. Designer. Wedding Operations Goddess. Your Best Friend
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.
