The designer behind the events

An artistic history

Michael Willis Events is the culmination of an almost two decade long career in the entertainment industry. A professional theatrical designer by the age of 15, Michael has trained in almost every aspect of his craft, bringing his clients' ideas to fruition on a consistent basis. Through his artistic flare with the visual aesthetics of events, Michael can transform any location into a work of art. His attention to detail will ensure that every moment of your event is executed to perfection, and that all of the minute details are taken care of.

Our goal is to move all of the pieces together in a way that not only allows our clients to enjoy their event, but also to find joy in the creative process during the formational phases.

Not just a designer

Michael Willis is a career Event Designer, Coordinator, Entertainer, and Entrepreneur who has founded multiple industry leading companies under one common goal: to connect passionate artists with creative clients to create spectacular and memorable events.

We started to find that guests from our weddings in Pittsburgh were attending events in their home towns across the country. Those events paled in comparison to the events Modern Era was producing at the time, so we began expanding to bring our quality of events to other markets across the country.

"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, planning signature wedding weekends where every gathering, from the welcome party to the farewell brunch, is designed as one continuous experience. Michael Willis Events is part of the Modern Era Event Group family of brands, pairing Michael's design direction with a deep bench of DJs, live musicians, hosts, and production specialists.
