When Edward Jones approached Michaelis Events to plan a vibrant and artistic corporate event to celebrate their regional offices, we knew we had to deliver something truly special. Held at the eclectic Mellwood Arts Center, this high-end event was designed to be both elegant and creative, incorporating bold décor, flavorful cuisine, and a lively atmosphere that reflected the company’s appreciation for their team.

For a celebration that embraced artistic expression, there was no better venue than the Mellwood Arts Center. Known for its industrial-chic ambiance, open spaces, and connection to Louisville’s thriving art scene, it provided the perfect setting for an “Artsy” themed corporate event.
