Michelle Couch, DMCP

President

Since founding Event Experience in 2001, Michelle has been instrumental in developing key relationships for growth and finding creative solutions for getting things done. Being a mother of four requires her to balance many demands in a way that only a professional can. Michelle is a certified destination management professional (DMCP) and enjoys sharing the Pacific Northwest with clients from all over the world.


Her clients recognize her warmth and charm, while appreciating the direct, no-nonsense approach to solving problems. Michelle is regularly on a new adventure with her family, and can sometimes be found at Disneyland giving fast-pass advice to unsuspecting tourists.
