I'm also the owner of Michelle Leo Events, an award-winning event design and planning company offering clients a variety of services ranging from full-service event design & planning to partial planning & design and day-of coordination packages. I love providing my clients with fr

esh, unique, and creative designs all while making sure their event encompasses everything that makes them unique and different. I strive to create stylish, beautiful and comfortable settings while finding a balance between budgets and expectations. My work has been recognized on both a national and local level and has been featured on several national and international wedding blogs. I am the four-time consecutive winner of Utah's BEST OF STATE Award in event planning services, and was the recipient of Z Gallerie's 2013 Designer of the Year award. Most recently, I was included in Martha Stewarts "Top Wedding Planners of 2014." Although Utah-based, I've executed events throughout Europe, New Zealand and the United States. And I'd love the opportunity to work with you on creating a beautiful wedding in a destination that's near and dear to you! So if you're looking for someone to connect with, laugh with, and enjoy a caramel machiatto with while dishing on all your ideas and event must haves, then let's get started!
