our planning team

MARY WHITEHEAD

As an event assistant, Mary loves being able to get to watch couples come together as one, but also help bring their dream day to life! When she’s not busy lending a helping hand at weekend weddings, she serves as the Assistant Director at an Early Learning Center in Overland Park, Kansas - carrying out her passion for working with children. Not to mention, whenever she has some free time, she can be found getting crafty! Creating different designs and projects on her Cricut craft machine is one of her favorite hobbies.

LISA MoREAU

Lisa is a busy Mom of 3, runs her own business, Kruse Creations, customizing laser etched items, and somehow also manages to be an amazing event assistant for the MPE team! Lisa grew up on the Kansas/Nebraska border, and then moved to Louisburg, Kansas with her family in 2014.

Cherish burton

In the spring of 2018, Cherish joined the MPE team as an event assistant and brings with her a wealth of industry knowledge. Growing up, she spent a lot of time with her mother who was a wedding planner as well. Though she decided to follow a different path and enter the world of Cosmetology to provide hair and makeup services for bridal parties, she couldn’t stay away from helping women plan the most important day of their lives!

COLLEEN STROH

Colleen joins the MPE team as a two-time graduate of Pittsburg State University, having received her Bachelor's degree in 2013 and Masters in School Counseling in 2015. When she’s not helping couples enjoy their day as an event assistant, she’s working as an elementary school counselor in the Kansas City area, spending time with close family and friends, traveling, and going to concerts! Her favorite thing about working for MPE? Being the extra set of hands to make your day your dream!

MELINDA MYLES

As an event assistant, seeing couples enjoy the wedding of their dreams makes all the hard work worth it! When Melinda isn’t working as a full time event manager at The Haven Event Space, she enjoys gardening, antique shopping and spending time with friends and family. Oh and how could I forget to mention that Melinda is a HUGE fan of KISS! We simply love her on our MPE team.
