About Mel

Most days you can find me in my workout gear with my laptop, working from the sunniest spot in my home. I am known for my DIY endeavours, for upcycling everything and for my bubbly personality. I started All Wrapped Up Events to serve busy parents, stressed out couples and overwhelmed family members unsure of how to bring a party theme to life. When I’m not working on an event you can catch me out enjoying a hike with my pup Cooper or indulging in a local craft beer on a patio. 

 There is a lot of waste in the event industry – from single-use plastics and buffet food waste to party decorations that get used once and thrown away. When tearing down parties, I would get this awful feeling in my stomach as I threw away items that had been used for just 3 hours. This is why I started offering party decor and supply rentals - to help eliminate the need for single use items at parties. It's my way of helping you celebrate sustainably!

 Hamilton is home! I moved here in 2018 and absolutely love the people, outdoor space and fantastic local businesses. I am married to Andrew, my incredibly supportive partner who makes the best dad jokes. We live in West Hamilton with our rescue pup Cooper who came from Mexico through a fantastic organization called Save Our Scruff.
