I’m this episode you will get a big fat update on my life and my big fat opinion on this movie as one who plans weddings.
I loooove weddings! I loooove events! Mostly because they are fun and I usually have a helping hand in them. However...I was invited to a wedding where I was never asked to help. Here is how it went😂
Another celebrity event is under my belt and it feels GOOD! I enjoyed the experience of planning something of that magnitude. Thank you to all of you and to all of those on my team! Also get ready for podcasts because baby, they are BACK!
What a title! I’ve seen and been around enough floral and decor to have an opinion and have an opinion. And it is just that! Take this episode for what it is and I hope some of these suggestions work! there are quite a few tips for SAVING MONEY with floral in this episode
Hey hey! Chris is back! This episode is a great listen for anyone who is goal or habit oriented. It’s also great for anyone who is human 😂 So listen up because celebrating successes and hitting goals is vital to your fulfillment!

Do you know what I mean? There is a difference. Busy means going from one thing to another and productive means doing things with intention that fulfill you.
I’ve been a fan of Kelsey since the day I met her. She’s fit, she’s a go-getter, she’s low key obsessed with weddings, and her floral work is gorgeous!
Get to know her on this podcast, but follow her on Instagram to follow her journey! If you have an upcoming wedding, either reach out to her on Instagram or let me know and I will connect you both!
@simply.larue.floral
The information I share in this episode is probably not like the information you’re used to (As always😂). Enjoy!
...BUCKLE IN FOR THIS ONE! I am enjoying reading business books that light me up and give me the push forward in businesses I’m involved in. Welcome to my Business Monthly book club!
Happy Valentine’s Day this weekend! Since love is on the mind, why not talk about it! This isn’t your typical event planner podcast, but I believe it speaks to the inner human inside all of us. Enjoy!
In no particular order, we shared things we are excited about in the coming weeks...And we also had a debate on if Netflix is a friend or enemy.
Yes, this IS a long episode but I have been writing so many thoughts down lately about this and needed to brain dump it all out!
Building wealth is more than paying off debt and doing whatever you want. In this episode I give you so many keys to your success of living the life you want...aka...living each day the way you choose.
If anything I say speaks to you, tell me in a review! I love getting your feedback and helping you kill it!
These are the basics of inventory I highly suggest you purchase! Enjoy this and share YOUR basics with me on Instagram! @melicious_events
This was a great week and we are happy to share some highlights with you. Listen at the very end for the truth about how the weeks usually go. There is beauty in all the journey!
Hahaha! Have you ever seen this movie? It’s a GEM and I’m grasping lots of event relation out of it. Sure, it may be a stretch, but it’s interesting what you can see when you’re looking. Enjoy the listen!
Chris and I are wonderfully pleased with 2020 and what we accomplished or learned. 2021 has quarterly events that we can’t wait to do!
You read that right, Melicious Events is getting better with specific topics of podcast episodes, consistency, and more!
This episode in 4 words is cry, Michelangelo, teammate, homeless. And to be a part of our next project, message me on Instagram! @melicious_events
You know those friends that you don't see often, but when you do, life just gets better? That's Maddie for ya.
This episode is a very fun one because 1.) Maddie is a COVID Bride getting married on Christmas Day 2.) Maddie and I served a part of our missions in the Czech Republic together 3.) She is a confident, bright, straight forward, hilarious human and I love her.
If you have any requests or questions for the next time we get together, contact me on Instagram! @melicious_events
We are jazzed about our conversations as of late! From reading Rich Dad, Poor Dad and meeting with our friend and financial advisor Cody Manning, we are stoked! The lessons we have learned while hosting events and having “bad ideas” have all been successes and we explain it all here!

Thanksgiving is around the corner so I wanted to express some recent gratitudes if my life right now and why.
This episode did not go as planned, however, we never have a plan for these episodes. This was a great last 2 weeks and we are looking forward to you enjoying this journey alongside us!
Arena Talks events have really helped me become a detailed Event Planner. I’ve been able to professionally grow AND personally grow. AND I am serious when I say these are open to the public and I invite you all to attend. #recovery
THIS IS IT! The first podcast of many that you have been waiting for! Buckle in, because it is a RIDE!
There are so many parts of the 50 that we could capture so bare with us as we do our best to tell you all the highlights we could think of!
There’s not much more to say here, so listen up and if you want to know who we are talking about that joined during the 50, here are their Instagram handles: @manningyourmoney - @potsky9 - @purpleartichoke - @shayaslett - @laurasfitnesslab
GOOD-NIGHT! It has been too long since any updates of the 50. Unfortunately you will have to wait a little bit more so Chris and I can really give you an insight to how it was!
However, in the meantime, here is how events are going and look for the past few weeks. It’s very strange and tough and exciting. Listen to this podcast episode for the details and some ways you can pivot from your planned events!
This episode is coming to you from the California Coast! The 50 mile run is upon us, so gearing up for that and working on the Corn Maze has kept us extremely busy! Share with us how you’re going to #chooseyour50 ! @melicious_events and @chrisaverycoaching
I’ve GOT to be straight with you all! I would have never seen this movie this way 3 years ago. I used to watch this movie with no worry in the world. It wasn’t until LAST NIGHT that I was so bothered!!!
Join us as we drive home from Chris’s 19 mile run!! #CHOOSEYOUR50 is going so well. In the last 2 days I had a real “Come to Jesus” conversation that woke me up. In a marriage and in a business relationship, some things need to be discussed. And I’m sure glad they were because now I am more clear on what I want and we are all collectively clear on what to better work on going forward. Like we always say, this journey is full of ups, downs, surprises, and growth. Thanks for following along with us. Visit @melicious_events and @chrisaverycoaching for more day-to-day updates
Today’s episode was inspired by Planners Lounge. I was scrolling through my Pinterest and this article came across that caught my eye. I share what’s on the article and my thoughts in each reason. Check it out for yourself to know more! https://plannerslounge.com/5-reasons-event-planners-arent-successful/
It seems like a lot has happened in the last 2 weeks! In this episode we go over the best highlights from Chris’s #chooseyour50 run, my Arena Talks event, finding a teammate, and inspiring things we’ve learned along the way.
It’s haaaappening!!! Fall 2020 is upon us as tomorrow is September 1st. Everything shared in my podcast is my opinion, so if you have something you want me to know or add, leave a review! Also, follow along at @meliciousevents and @thepartycollab to see what we are up to!
We are 45 days away from the #chooseyour50 run! It’s an adventure with experimentation on fuel, water stations, distance tracking, aches and pains, and mentality of feeling failure. We are enjoying learning so much and look forward to the next 45 days until the big 5-0! Please leave a review and share with us what you think, what you want to hear more of, or any advice you want us to know!
It’s true! Chris is the ying to my yang and is an excellent Christmas gift giver! This week was amazing with an event The Party Collab was able to do and a crazy story of hiking Mt. Timpanogus!
Holy crap! I look up to Kenzie so much! Her events are put together so well and are on brand with who she is. Her attention to detail and her freely given advice of how to do some of the decorations she puts together is what makes Kenzie so amazing. Plus she has the biggest abundance mindset, which in other words, is seeing others as teammates rather than competition.
Take a look at her Instagram to see for yourself what kind of beauty she puts together....and how cute her 1 year old daughter is!
@kenziesevents
And her website too!

Interesting title, no? I was reading Atomic Habits by James Clear and absolutely loved this section. If you listen, you'll hear parts of the book I will read.
What a week! We were UBER productive with the application of our block schedule, we have been enjoying whitening our teeth to feel more successful, Chris is finding harmonious teammates everywhere, and we had one heck of a run this weekend to train for THE 50! #chooseyour50
My favorite Spanish teacher in high school said one thing to me on the last day of high school and I have never forgotten it! It’s amazing what our confidence and talents can hide! When you have those, no one will know if there was something missed. Or better yet, if you missed something you planned. All that will be remembered will be the experience you create! Thank you to Señor Klasky. You will always be one of my favorite teachers that taught me more than what I shared in this podcast..... ¡Viva Mexico! 🇲🇽
You know how a child learns to walk, they try and fall and try and fall until they’re finally successful! The same goes for business and finding the correct priorities to grow business! We are still learning and consistently improving.
Be honest with yourself, have you ever said, “I have anxiety...”? I call bluff most of the time. Listen up to know why. The moral is take care of yourself before you really dive in to something deep. Email me your thoughts! yourmelanieevents@gmail.com
This last week has been great! We have made progress with new clients, experimenting with a retreat idea, having breakthroughs, training for the 50 mile run, and more! To understand the “No” principle Chris is talking about, watch this video: https://youtu.be/dt4pWmwNoMs
You read that right. My husband, Chris Avery, is running 50 miles. Not because he is a runner, but because it’s one of his “hards”. If you don’t know what that means, check out the bottom of his home page on chrisavery.com
My favorite part about this is Chris and I are at the phase of getting on the phone with people who we’ve attracted to be on our team!
Do you feel like an imposter or that you’re not an event planner because the events you’ve planned aren’t big enough?? PISH POSH! They are! For those of you wanting to send me your “Event Resume”, send them to yourmelaniee ents@gmail.com so I can take a look and if you’d like, send you mine!
What a wild week it’s been. Through the wilderness of Yellowstone to our home, we’ve had some MAJOR breakthroughs. You’re not going to want to miss this episode.
We had a choice to leave town on a trip or not. We chose to because that is the lifestyle we want to attract. Listen for more about our decision and the rewards of the week!
An oldie, but a goodie! Napping is interesting. It can be a friend or an enemy because a lot could kill you (metaphorically...and possibly physically)
We all have them. Boxes of crap. However, some of those rarely used event materials can actually be versatile to holidays and neighborhood parties.
It's a matter of knowing what to get and when. I suggest gathering inventory as you go; You can find great deals and slowly find more spcae to put everything!
This week was an interesting one. Chris celebrated a birthday, we made more headway on moving, continued practicing business habits, and went through some communication.
This is our journey and we know it will either inspire or provoke you to live yours!
Thank you for listening!
This is hands down my FAVORITE podcast yet! Why? Because my sexy husband is here! It’s been a long time coming that he is a guest on this podcast. The good news is, he will be with me more and more as we share our Journey in both of our businesses!
This is a great listen for anyone who wants to start a business, is in the beginning of a business, or is wanting to refine their business. As I mentioned in this episode, I am no business guru. But wait till the end to hear why I care about this so much and why I am confident in what I’m sharing with you 👏🏻 Find me on Instagram to see what is to come out of the balloons I’m buying today! @melicious_events
Another episode without Chris Avery unfortunately. However, we had a big week! But not in the way you might think.
College. What a full word! For someone who got an associates in Business Management and almost a bachelors in Hospitality Management, I learned a few things that I still keep with me. This one is worth the listen if you have been to college. Or not. It’s just an interesting perspective!
I know this is an event podcast. However, I feel fulfilled and alive when I’m consistent with what I want to do and this new schedule is something I want to do. What my husband Chris and I are doing is amazing to us and we think it will be inspiring to others. The new podcast schedule goes as follows: Wednesday Afternoons: Event tips, interviews, experiences (the main reasons you are following along this podcast) Sunday Afternoons: Personal Avery family life and how we are pursuing the life we want to love as husband& wife and business owners ✨You can always DM or email us for help or to join in on our wild festivities! We win together!✨ @melicious_events @chrisaverycoaching
If you’re in the Event Industry or know someone who is, you’ve probably seen a lot of balloons being used for decorations. And if you’re anything like me, you’ve probably had a hard time enjoying seeing them be used for more than birthdays and car dealerships! 😂 Well let me see if I can help you with your opinion because until the end of 2019, I was in your shoes. And if you’d like to see what I created, go to my Instagram to take a looksie! @melicious_events
I have been facing a decision for the past few days and feel like I am coming out on top! It’s uncomfortable, yet exhilarating. Listen to this advice! I’d like to thank my husband for being a constant support and being extremely knowledgeable in self worth. @chrisaverycoaching I’d also like to thank my business partner Sarah for being an amazing support and open ear for my thoughts. Her excitement about opportunity is contagious! Follow me on Instagram @melicious_events and @thepartycollab because a lot is about to be going on there!
So many people are figuring out how to beat homeschool, how to socialize from a distance, how to stay active, and many more. I know the Event Industry has altered, so listen to see what has been keeping me happily busy! For suggestions of what you’d like me to talk about next, follow me on Instagram! @melicious_events
I believe we have all been there when either we or others say something in the sense of “I’m Not_____ Enough” WELL NO MORE! Chris Avery Coaching has helped me in many ways with this #1 and favorite principle. Follow me on Instagram! @melicious_events
I’m affected by COVID19! For the next little while I don’t have an easy and steady income. As Les Brown would say, IT’S CHARACTER BUILDING TIME ! Without money coming in, I’m finding the need to shift my values, priorities, and lifestyle around to excel FORWARD while I believe most people have plateaued/paused during social distancing of 2020. In here I invite you to reach out to me if you’re struggling. DM me @melicious_events or email me at yourmelanieevents@gmail.com Thanks for joining me on this journey and listening to my podcast!🙌🏼
March 2020 has come down with the Corona Virus and almost everyone/everything is basically on lockdown. What a time to be alive! I share some ideas of things to continue growth in these times.
We went to THREE venue open houses on March 7, 202 and we felt like it was the right thing to do. We are extremely confident in our business and ideas.
Just ended Chris Avery Coaching’s Mountain Top Experience 3 days ago. Tonight I was inspired in the gym as I was reading The Magic of Thinking Big by Dave Schwartz💥💥💥 Remember to follow me on social media! @melicious_events Tickets to The Party Collab can be found in in my bio on Instagram. Thanks for listening!!!❤️
Have you ever seen The Kindness Diaries on Netflix? I planned an event in Utah bringing Leon Logothetis in for an Arena Talks Event in 2017! There were a few twists so this is a good listen to know about the back end of it all! This is a longer story, but I promise it’s a great story! For information about those mentioned, follow these people on Instagram: @thekindnessguy @i.am.recovery @arenatalks2 @melicious_events

Have you ever lost someone else’s credit card? That’s all I have to say. Listen to this.
Clearly from the title I have an opinion on effective cursing. And here’s the catch. I grew up not cursing or thinking it was every okay! But that all changed at a transformational event I attended in October 2017.
We’ve all been there to take that 1st bite of a delicious food, then fall in love and can’t get enough of it, AM I RIGHT!?!! This is how I am feeling about my new “First”
This last week was comparable to the week before you leave on a long vacation...BUSY! We had our Bridal Open House at work on Saturday-here is how it went.
It’s been a while, listen to find out where I was and what song I listened to the other day that explains perfectly why each day ROCKS!
December 21st is our anniversary of when my husband, Chris, popped the question! Since we are on a long drive home, we thought it only makes sense to share our story on this day, 2 years ago.
I was listening to a podcast of a war story and suddenly got so excited that I, too, have one that just recently happened! Listen to this episode to find out what happened!
LISTEN. If you are like me and want to kill it in the events industry with your own business...just listen! Hostess of all women dance parties-Chelsey Curtis has created a beautiful masterpiece!
You may think that any job you’ve had was a job for money and some experience, but have you really juiced all you could out of your jobs?
Do you ever go to something and miss out on having it benefit you for more than a fun night out? In this episode, I’ll explain what to do when you’re out and about having fun!
This is a GREAT subject that I feel I practice! It’s important to dive deeper and this episode explains why.
Event Planning. It all really started when I was 16 that I knew I loved to plan the coolest events for life.
