Kelci M.
I founded this company out of a deep appreciation for the art of hosting and a desire to redefine the experience for those who create it. Too often, hosts find themselves overwhelmed by the demands of orchestrating a flawless event, unable to fully savor the moments they’ve worked so hard to craft. My goal is to lift that burden, allowing the host to be present and engaged, transforming their event into a shared celebration rather than a series of tasks. This is about elevating hospitality— giving hosts the freedom to enjoy their own gatherings and make a lasting impression.
Small-scale gatherings and micro-events
There’s a special kind of connection that unfolds in a smaller gathering. Less small talk and more deep conversation. Slower evenings and better stories. At Grounded Social Co., we specialize in gatherings of 6–12 guests to foster meaningful connection and prioritize sustainability. Think intimate dinner parties, celebratory showers, birthday frolicks and milestone moments with the friends and family that matter most.
Our Core Values
Intentionality
Event elements are chosen with deliberate purpose, from the guest list to the lighting. No filler or fluff. Each detail serves a meaningful role and builds atmosphere.
Connection
We craft experiences that foster genuine presence. Through slow moments and honest conversations, we create connections that endure well beyond the event itself.
Simplicity
True beauty resides in thoughtful details, not excess. By eliminating noise, we focus on what truly matters and avoid unnecessary stress.
Sustainability
Our commitment to the environment guides us. We prioritize mindful sourcing, low-waste practices, and reusability to minimize each event's footprint.
Collaboration
Events are co-created journeys. We partner closely with clients and collaborators, honoring every vision as a shared endeavor rather than a simple transaction.
Creativity
Originality and artistry define our approach. Each event is uniquely crafted, reflecting an imaginative and thoughtful design that stands apart.
