Melissa Kneib
Senior Event Planner & Owner
Hello! I'm Melissa and I have been working events for over 14 years. I have strong experience in event planning and I won't rest until the job is done. I fell in love with event planning when I began working at a venue just outside of Lee's Summit MO. This amazing family owned it and their daughter was the event coordinator. I learned a lot from them; Catering, bartending, decor, rentals, DJ services, and more. Over the years I started doing small events on the side while going to school and working a full time job.
I believe in order to become the best at what I do it is important to understand all aspects of an event. Now 14years later I own and run my own event planning business and couldn't be happier helping others dreams come true!
In my free time I enjoy spending time with my husband Ryan and our 6 furr babies; Kasha, Jake, Oliver, Onyx, Loki, and Meeko. We enjoy going to the Farmer's market in Riverside, throwing family gatherings, cheering for the CHEIFS and going to the movie theaters.
