About Beyond Events
Hi! I’m Kelli, owner of Beyond Events.
After more than a decade of planning events professionally, Beyond Events was born in 2023 as a way to utilize my talent and passion outside of my 9-5 work.
From a young age I’ve had a love for making moments special and bringing people together. For the last 10+years I’ve honed that talent planning events for Downtown Akron Partnership, The University of Akron and local non-profit organizations. These events have included concert series, outdoor fitness programs, arts festivals, a multi-venue New Year’s Eve event, cocktail parties, Homecoming events, fundraising galas, and more. This wide range of experiences makes me uniquely qualified to take your event beyond your expectations.
Whether you’re looking for event consulting, help creating an engaging marketing plan, or full service event planning, Beyond Events is here to help!
Meet the Team
Annette Fetter
EVENT CONSULTANT
Hi! I’m Annette, Kelli’s sister, and frequent collaborator.
My entire life I’ve watched my sister and my mom plan, organize, and host exceptional events. In college, I discovered I wanted to make a career of it. There is no feeling like seeing an event through from beginning to end, and ensuring that attendees have a
top-tier experience.
I have 8+ years of professional event planning experience with nonprofit organizations executing galas, golf outings, walks, runs, and more. In my downtime I am often volunteering at community and nonprofits events to build upon my expertise.
My specialties include volunteer management, creation of efficient and effective timelines and communications, and management of the GiveSmart platform.
