Meet the Amaising Events Duo: Cody & Maisie
Maisie’s passion for events and planning was evident from a very young age. She would spend afternoons in her bedroom planning elaborate birthday parties and sleepovers (most of which her parents understandably vetoed). This passion was reignited when she was asked to be an intern for Linda Marie Weddings & Events during her junior year of college. Maisie served as a graphic design intern and event assistant under Linda Somersall for the next year and a half and loved every minute of it. She continued to hone her skills post-graduation as a public relations intern at rEvolution, a Chicago sport marketing firm with an expertise in experiential marketing.
It wasn’t until May 2018, however, that Maisie’s gift truly came to light. May 2018 is the month that Cody asked Maisie to be his wife, and consequently, it is the month that Maisie dove headfirst into designing and planning her own wedding. She relished in every moment, from the initial research to final setup almost a year later. Maisie put her heart and soul into each and every detail; it was evident. And the day went off without a hitch. It was perfect with just one exception: the day seemed to be over in the blink of an eye. A year’s worth of dreaming, planning, creating, and preparing came to a dramatic and seemingly sudden conclusion. Despite living through the best day of her 27 years of life and marrying her soulmate, Maisie couldn’t help but feel a strange sense of loss in the days that followed her wedding. She had been wholeheartedly invested in the planning process, and just like that, her job was done – there was nothing left to plan or create. So, the obvious solution for Maisie to fill this void was to help other couples plan the weddings of their dreams. Cody supported Maisie 100% and encouraged her to pursue this dream, offering to help in any way he could. The heart of the operation gained brains and brawn.
And so began Amaising Events. We hope you will help us write the next chapter of our story.
