Mel

Mel is someone who instantly makes you feel at ease. She’s brilliant at reading the room, tuning into the energy, and making sure everyone feels comfortable, welcomed and included. A true people-person, Mel brings warmth, positivity and a natural, uplifting energy to every event. You’re always in very safe hands with her — she has a lovely way of helping conversations flow and making sure everyone feels looked after from the moment they arrive.

What’s your hosting superpower?

My hosting superpower is making people feel relaxed and comfortable enough to be themselves, which is key to making authentic connections.  I am also good at reading the room and recognising who might need a gentle nudge to get involved in conversations.    

What do you love most about hosting singles events?

I love being part of creating a safe and welcoming space for strangers to meet, chat, laugh, connect, and make new friends which in time could lead to something more.  It’s pure magic.  

What’s one thing you always make sure happens at your events?

I always make sure that I welcome each guest, familiarise them with the venue, and brief them about what to expect from the evening. If people seem nervous about what to say, I have some great icebreakers they can use. Mainly, I make sure people know I am there to support and encourage them, and that they leave wanting to come back again.    

What would you order at the bar at one of our events?

My go-to is a zesty mojito or a full-bodied red.

What would you say to someone coming to one of our events for the first time?

I would encourage them to leave any nerves at the door as EWM events are all about meeting new people in a safe, relaxed, and inclusive environment. I’d get them to take deep breath, put on their biggest smile, remember everyone is in the same boat, and have fun.

What would you be doing if you weren’t hosting an Everywhere We Meet Event?

Cooking, gym-ing, chatting on the phone or watching a good thriller with my sons.
