Event Direction & Management

With a background in coaching and a love for beautifully executed details, I help women bring their boldest event visions to life—while staying grounded, intentional, and present in the process. From the big-picture planning to the smallest touchpoints, I’m the person you can trust to make sure it all runs smoothly (so you can actually enjoy it).
Event Director
Marissa did an incredible job coordinating our wedding. She took what felt like a big, confusing mess and turned it into something organized and calm. From the planning process to the wedding day, I knew nothing would fall through the cracks with her. She was very responsive to both us and our vendors, always on time, and made sure we felt comfortable and taken care of every step of the way.
On the day of the wedding, she was truly unmatched. If anything went wrong, we had absolutely no idea because she handled everything so smoothly. She managed to blend in with the crowd while still being extremely professional and on top of every detail. She worked seamlessly with the venue, took real ownership of her role, and even anticipated our needs before we voiced them. I would highly, highly recommend Marissa to anyone looking for a wedding coordinator, she made our day feel effortless.
This is the second time I’ve worked with Marissa as an on-site director for a corporate event, and at this point I honestly don’t want to do an event without her. Her attention to detail and sense of ownership are next level. She’s super flexible and handles last-minute changes with so much grace. She was friendly and open with the whole team, people felt comfortable going to her with questions, and she was always available, prepared, and in it with us the entire time.
I knew I could count on her, and the team could too. I’ll keep using Marissa for on-site events for my company and would strongly recommend her to anyone who wants someone reliable, calm under pressure, and genuinely great to work with.
There's a particular kind of magic Riss carries - the kind that stays with you long after the moment has passed. Even a simple phone call becomes a space where your scattered ideas feel seen, held, and shaped. And when you're with her for days at a time, watching her transform your vision into something you can touch... it feels like witnessing a dream choose a body. Working with Riss is seamless, soul-lifting, and genuinely joyful - a rare breath of fresh air in human form.
Marissa is truly the only on-site director I ever want to work with. She brings an incredible sense of calm to even the most high-pressure situations, and her attention to detail is unmatched. She’s personable, thoughtful, and consistently two steps ahead — the kind of partner who makes every event feel seamless. I only have great things to say about her, both personally and professionally. Working with Marissa is an absolute pleasure, every single time!
Marissa is a beast. She hustled like no one I’ve ever worked with yet somehow never broke a sweat. I’ll never truly know what Camp was like for her behind the scenes but I know she worked her butt off for 4 days and I’m not sure if we could’ve done it without her.
