About Lanie

Hi Friends! I am so glad you are here! I am Lanie - one of the MBE owners and lead planners. I am married with two beautiful babies that the Lord blessed me with. I discovered my passion for event planning VERY shortly after getting married myself. Since I was a child, honestly like 10, I always expressed my interest in wedding planning but never took the ‘dive’. With the support of my husband, family, and friends and lots of prayers we decided it was time and thus MBE was born. Since starting MBE I have found my love for events and people to grow deeper.

I love the relationships and people this career field has placed in my path. With each event that we are blessed to be a party of, it shows me that the Lord really does have a plan for each of us, and this is where I am supposed to be.

I can’t wait to get to know you and your event vision more! Happy Planning!

About America

Hey there! My name is America and I am the Martinez half of MBE! Lanie and I met when we were both high school teachers and instantly knew we were each other’s person. Planning her wedding was so much fun and we looked at each other one day, said “we can totally do this full time” and now we’re here! 

I married my high school sweetheart and together we’ve built a life with 4 babies. I love all things sports and competition and have recently taken up a love for pickleball! When I’m not at that court, I’m on a field or court with one of the kiddos or trying a new restaurant. 

My favorite thing about wedding days are seeing all of our friendors! Building a community with like minded business owners, people that love people, is my love language. I am so happy you are here and can’t wait to make your event the most fun it can be!
