Welcome to MTR Event Design
Stress Free Event Coaching With Marie Rios
Create Events with Intention, Strategy & Heart
MTR Event Design has evolved beyond being just an event planner. Drawing from years of vibrant, real-world experience, I now focus on teaching and facilitating workshops as a leader and educator. My mission is to ignite connection by teaching entrepreneurs, coaches, and organizations how to confidently become architects and planners of their own events.
Whether you’re planning a conference, retreat, or virtual gathering, I’ll guide you through producing events with confidence and clarity, so you can host an event that is not only impressive but also transformative.
Together, we can take your event to the next level. Move beyond logistics and checklists with me to create intentional, high-impact experiences where every detail feels purposeful, every interaction matters, and every guest walks away inspired.
