oh, hi!

Hi, I’m Melissa! I’m from Branson, Missouri, and I’m married to my husband, Zach, with whom I’ve shared 10 amazing years. Together, we have three wonderful children, Xander, Jack, and Theo, and we love exploring, adventuring, and making the most of what feels like the world’s biggest playground.

Music is a big part of our lives. This past year alone, I’ve seen incredible live shows, including Post Malone, Lorde, Jimmy Eat World, Three Days Grace, and a host of pop-punk and emo bands at the 2025 When We Were Young Festival in Las Vegas. My oldest is a dedicated band student, playing baritone in marching season and tuba during concert season, and we travel all over Missouri — and sometimes beyond — for competitions. Clearly, music runs through our family!

Turning my love for live events into a full-time career felt natural. I founded this travel planning business so that everyone I work with can have that “I can’t believe I’m here” moment. Whether it’s a concert, festival, Broadway show, or convention, I’m here to make your trip seamless, stress-free, and unforgettable.
