Why I am your only answer
Totally Awesome

Most people are just slightly awesome. I have the advantage of being TOTALLY awesome which is way more awesome than just slightly.

Personal Magic

What makes me exceptional is that I have magical powers. You can check my forehead and see that I have an acne scar in the shape of a bolt to prove it.

World's best

The people of the planet took a vote and yep--they voted me the best. And most modest. But winning the Best category was more exciting.

My event production style is a diverse and eclectic mix of casual, traditional, rustic and out-of-the box. Whether producing private celebrations, corporate functions (both small and large), or community events, I am passionate about creating an extraordinary, memorable experience.

With over 20 years of hands-on family restaurant know-how and experience (fine dining, a nightclub, sushi bars and sports restaurants), combined with long-standing, quality relationships with numerous vendors, venues and suppliers, JKL Special Events always exceeds client expectations.

I had the pleasure of working with Melinda and her team recently on a party for some selected clients. She listened intently to our vision. Not only was she accommodating and flexible, but also came back to us with suggestions and ideas that made our event that much more distinctive. Melinda was creative, professional and friendly, and her team made our guests feel very special. We look forward to working with her again in the future.

VP Marketing iHeartMedia Los Angeles

Every year I was responsible for planning the Christmas party for the LA Kings Hockey team and their families. I worked with Melinda to create a menu that was versatile for professional athletes down to small children. Her menu planning, attention to detail and knowledge of the most popular holiday choices were very helpful. Her staff, preparation and presentation is exceptional. Her services will always be my first choice.

Working with Melinda is working with a consummate professional.  She cares about the details, keeps to a timeline and can improvise as needed. These are the basics for an excellent event planner. Now is a good time to thank you Melinda for years of great service and friendship!
