Marinda Freeman started her career as an event planner on the East Coast and moved to the Bay Area in 1991. For more than 25 years, Marinda has delighted and exceeded her clients’ expectations. She has a record of success in producing imaginative events to launch new products, benefit non-profit organizations and create custom-tailored events for Fortune 1000 companies. Prior to opening her own business, Marinda was the original Executive Director for Martha Stewart’s catering company. Today, she continues to work with leaders and decision-makers in corporations, as well as non-profit organizations, coordinating events such as Macy’s Passport, Marin Human Race, the Chairman’s Circle Dinner for the Children’s Hospital Foundation, and The Heart of the Matter Dinner for the East Bay Agency for Children.

Marinda delivers the extraordinary by the way she thinks about each event. She turns it upside down and inside out, while asking – “How can it be done better? Where can it be improved? How can we create more unity and cohesion? How can it be more fun?” By looking at it from these different perspectives, Marinda brings a new level of sophistication to every aspect of the event – from the big picture to the details. She raises the bar and creates the unexpected.

Through her unique approach, she transforms non-profit fundraisers into FUNdraisers‘ and enhances company performance and identity through company retreats, team building workshops and client events. Marinda is quick to point out that the focus is not on the size or dollar amount of the event, but rather the quality of the outcome. Budgets have ranged from $30,000 to $750,000 or more. http://mfproductions.net/
