Growing up in Gothenburg, Sweden, Mariell planned her first event in elementary school, inviting all her classmates to a day of sports, fun and ice cream. In her early 20s she spent a few months in Spain solidifying her event knowledge with a certificate course as a flight attendant and tour guide with the Spies University (founded by the European travel mogul Simon Spies).

Shortly after moving to the Bay Area in 1998, Mariell started working in the field of hotel and restaurant management, which eventually brought her to Marines' Memorial Club, a Beau-Arts building in downtown San Francisco.  During her time with the club she helped over 300 couples fulfill their event dreams. With over 10 years in event planning, Mariell has planned a a variety of events ranging from small city hall weddings, birthday parties, memorial services, multi day conferences, EDM concerts and a city parade and festival with 100,000+ participants.
