SLAY Events has experience producing award-winning events including national sporting events, concerts with GRAMMY award-winning artists, musical and lifestyle events ranging in size from community walks/runs and corporate and charitable meetings and galas.
We are a proud woman-owned and LGBTQ+ business. We are a team of passionate and committed individuals dedicated to delivering exceptional client experiences. We’d love to partner with you to SLAY your next event.

As a proud woman-owned and LGBTQ+ company, we are proud to partner with projects that leave a lasting, positive impact. We believe in the power of compassion and service to transform lives.
Over our 26 years SLAYing the event industry, we have built strong partnerships with several corporate and non-profit organizations including the Los Angeles Rams, Cedars-Sinai, NCAA, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Dignity Health, United Way of Greater Los Angeles, Make-A-Wish, and The Annenberg Foundation to name a few. With our extensive industry knowledge combined with an eye for design and detail, we deliver events that unite, inspire and celebrate.
With over 26 years of experience, we’ve learned that real connections are the heart of everything we do. Our long-standing client relationships are built on authenticity, trust, and a shared commitment to excellence.
Since founding Slay Events in 1999, Missy has produced everything from Final Fours and presidential inaugurations to music festivals, marathons, and nonprofit galas—always with unmatched precision and style. Known for her creativity, calm leadership, and client-first mindset, she’s built a reputation for events that don’t just run smoothly—they slay.
