The mind behind the energy

An artistic history

Michael Willis Events grew from an almost two decade career in entertainment. Michael was working as a professional theatrical designer by age 15. That background still shapes how he thinks about a wedding weekend: where attention goes, when the room needs a change, and what gives guests a reason to participate.

His work now centers on participation. The goal is to create clear invitations that people can accept willingly, then give the weekend enough shape for those moments to connect.

Focusing on experience

Michael Willis is an event designer, entertainer, and entrepreneur. He founded multiple companies around a common goal: connecting artists with clients who want guests to take part.

The MWE point of view is specific. A wedding weekend should give guests things to do together, then carry those shared moments from one gathering to the next.

"Unique, Personalized, and Awe inspiring. These are the words I want associated with my events. I want to work with creative couples who want to try something off the beaten path. Our business primarily revolves around the energy and memories we create at our events. In order to transport our guests to an unfringed place of happiness, we must make sure that every atmosphere we create is perfect in every facet."

Today Michael is focused on multi-day celebrations, producing signature wedding weekends where every gathering, from the welcome party to the farewell brunch, is designed as one continuous social experience. Michael Willis Events is part of the Modern Era Event Group family of brands, pairing Michael's experiential direction with a deep bench of DJs, live musicians, hosts, and production specialists.
