Meet our Lead Associate Planner !
Jess’ love for wedding and event planning runs deep. As a little girl, she watched her mom and aunties throw together all kinds of grand and special parties for loved ones in their community. She gladly pitched in where she could, coming early and staying late with her parents to help set up and clean up. Later in high school and college, she joined the student council and did much of the same for every school dance and event there was in school.

Since then, there have been birthday parties, weddings, reunions, church events and all kinds of things she’s helped plan with a belief that there’s so much in life to celebrate and it’s really in our best interest to do so. Her values are deeply rooted in service to others, collaboration, excellence, attention to detail, and a focus on the things that really matter, namely, love!

Getting married this year has given her the perspective of what brides and grooms go through to plan their special day and she is passionate now more than ever to help couples getting married move forward with peace, clarity, and excitement! 🤎

PS… she makes the PERFECT model and yes — that is her real wedding dress and ring 😍✨

Meet our Founder & CEO, !
From a young age, Malea has loved weddings and the beauty of lasting love. Some of her earliest memories include playing dress up at just four years old, creating pretend wedding ceremonies, and dreaming up celebrations long before she knew what event planning was. As she grew older, that love only deepened. A romantic at heart, she was shaped not only by classic love stories in movies and books—The Parent Trap, The Wedding Planner, 27 Dresses, Titanic, and countless others—but also by the real-life examples set before her. Watching her grandparents and parents build marriages rooted in commitment, joy, and faith gave her a deep appreciation for covenant love and the power of choosing one another day after day.

When it came time for college, Malea felt drawn to event planning but chose to pursue a degree in business instead, believing that excellence in experience begins with strong foundations. Her studies gave her a holistic understanding of operations, administration, finances, and leadership—skills that now allow her to approach events with both creativity and clarity. That path led her to Tulsa, Oklahoma, where she worked in ministry and discovered the impact thoughtfully designed gatherings can have. In one of her roles, she led large-scale events for a megachurch, overseeing more than 16 events annually with 4,000+ attendees in person and thousands more joining from around the world.

It was during this season that Malea launched her event business and planned her first weddings, pairing her love for romance with her strength in organization and operations. After a season of pause and transition, she returned to Minneapolis with renewed vision and purpose. Exhale Events was born from a desire to partner with people during some of life’s most meaningful moments—serving them with intention, excellence, and care. Grounded in faith and guided by grace, Malea approaches every wedding, church gathering, corporate event, and luxury celebration with the same heart: to carry the weight of the details so her clients can breathe deeply, stay present, and fully enjoy the moment.

Meet our team!🕊️

Exhale Events was founded by with a vision to create celebrations marked by intention, beauty, and peace. Rooted in faith and shaped by experience in business, ministry, and event leadership, Exhale Events exists to carry the weight of the details so clients can stay present in the moments that matter most.

While leading a wedding as the planner, Malea worked closely alongside —who was serving as the maid of honor and supporting the ex*****on of the day—and their natural teamwork quickly revealed a shared heart for service and a complementary blend of skills. What began as a solo vision has grown into a trusted team, built on collaboration, excellence, and a deep commitment to creating weddings and events where every detail feels thoughtful and every moment invites you to exhale. 🤎

There’s something about the small details that makes a wedding day feel truly complete. Like the final ribbon tied on a beautifully wrapped gift — they’re the touches that make everything feel thoughtful, intentional, and deeply cared for.

The way a transition moment flows seamlessly. The timing of a room reveal. A quiet detail in the programming that makes guests feel considered and cared for. Often, it’s the little things that leave the biggest impression long after the night is over.

Those are the moments our team holds with so much intention. Because creating a remarkable wedding day isn’t only about the big moments — it’s about how every small detail supports them, elevates them, and allows the entire experience to feel effortless from beginning to end.

We believe celebrations deserve intention, beauty, and peace. Every detail we design is rooted in care for people, presence in the moment, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.
