Meet Michelle Vasquez of Events By Michelle

Today we’d like to introduce you to Michelle Vasquez.

Hi Michelle, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
My name is Michelle Vasquez and I started out my career in Accounting and then several years later I became a professional tennis instructor and stuck with it for over 15 years. One of my clients convinced me that I would be an amazing wedding planner, so I went for it and now here we are! I decided to add content creation to my services because I slowly found myself filming behind the scenes of every wedding I was coordinating – so I thought what the heck, let’s do it!

MY BACKGROUND

Founder, Events by Michelle LLC, 2023-Present

UIW Graduate, Bachelors in Business Administration, Class of 2016

UIW Graduate, Masters in Science in Accounting, Class of 2016

Currently based in Goldsboro, NC

The way to my heart is any kind of pasta and a margarita!

I have two beautiful children named Roy & Zoe , a Border Collie named Spur & a Golden-doodle named Sky.

If I could only watch 3 shows forever they would be Friends (obviously), Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and Schitts Creek!

At Events By Michelle, we strive to make your big day unique and unforgettable. When booking with us, you will feel the ease of planning and designing a wedding. We are by your side and do everything to see to it that your vision comes to life!

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Any career you choose in the wedding industry has its ups & downs, highs and lows, and so on. Some of the struggles that I personally faced as a wedding planner was that I was so new that I had to work very hard to create a name for myself in an industry that I knew very little about. But because of my business background and great work ethic I knew that my “struggles” would eventually turn into my “strengths”. Now that I am more established it still hasn’t been easy – the hustle is real, but now I know how to present myself in meetings, open houses, and other events. The wedding industry has simply made me grow so much as a person that I am extremely grateful for all the challenges it has hit me with.

Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
