Metz Events: Help Us Grow!

Donation protected
Long story short: we need new equipment to turn this “fun thing we do” into something that could be be a career.

Growing up, my grandma hosted every birthday and holiday, while I assisted, making sure everyone was happy, fed and taken care of. Through these gatherings, I saw how she made people feel special, seen, and loved. I've always felt an undeniable pull to do the same. This desire culminated in establishing Metz Events, LLC. My own small business, founded on the principles my grandmother instilled in me.

My passion is supporting people during their most important moments - weddings, birthdays, retirements, holidays, memorials, etc., Our clients deserve to be fully present at their occasions, letting me take care of the coordinating, setup, troubleshooting, and fine details - so they can actually BE AT their event.

For 10+ years I have been organizing events - weddings, galas, memorials, birthdays, auctions, and more. I even planned, coordinated and executed my own wedding.....with incredible support and assistance from my husband, Karl.

Karl brings his own 15+ years of live event experience - handling all the details of A/V: microphones, speakers, DJ equipment, instruments, et cetera. As a team, we've been working and planning events since 2019. This will be our busiest year to date with seven weddings booked over the next several months!

Why the GoFundMe?
We are ready to grow, provide top-tier equipment, and do more for our clients. We have proven we can do this, and our clients have been incredibly gracious and supportive in their feedback. Thank you everyone who has left google reviews!

Funds will go toward:
* High quality A/V supplies (speakers, microphones, mixers, lights etc.,)
* Professional support creating our business contracts
* Event staples: furniture, tents, decor, etc.,
* Hiring local professionals to expand our offerings

As we grow, it is our plan to contract with the amazing professionals in our community (you!?): bartending, custom cocktail menus, event musicians, officiants, photographers, artists, caterers, and more. Our only goal is to provide and support events that feel safe, supportive and exceed the expectations of our clients.

We've been blessed with friends, mutual connections and strangers trusting us with their most important days. We are ready to do more and go bigger. Thank you for your support in making our dream a reality.
