“Michelle is one of those people who walks into a room and you immediately know things are about to get done. She believes almost anything is possible with the right plan and the right people, trusts her vendors enough to actually let them do their jobs, and will absolutely ask you “but why are you doing it that way?” if something doesn’t make sense. She shows up as a confident, respected voice in our industry who makes everyone around her think bigger and work smarter. “
- Wendy, Birds of A Feather Events
"There’s a reason why Michelle Gainey is both well respected by her peers and beloved by her clients: she puts in the work. While she is always surrounded by a team of consummate professionals, Michelle sets the tone. She’s not afraid to roll up her sleeves (literally) to make sure everything is perfect. She brings the same energy, talent, and passion to every event — whether it’s an intimate dinner for 10 guests, a wedding for 200, or a gala for a thousand. "
