\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLearn how Ashley Miller and Sean Hughes are challenging the way events are being done! <\/p>\n

\t\t\"Bw5358\"<\/a>THE FACES OF EVENT INNOVATION<\/p>\n

For Sean Hughes and Ashley Miller, innovation has never meant chasing the next trend. It has meant challenging the way events have always been done. Even their mantra has always been to \u2018Ditch the Ballroom\u2019.<\/p>\n

Since founding aVenue Event Group<\/a> in Orlando in 2013, Sean and Ashley have built the company around three core values: Collaboration, Hospitality, and Innovation. What began as an event planning company has evolved into a multifaceted hospitality organization that connects clients with distinctive venues, produces memorable experiences, and helps venue partners unlock new revenue opportunities.<\/p>\n

At the center of that growth is a simple belief: the most memorable events rarely come from doing what is expected. aVenue<\/a> has become known for transforming unconventional spaces- from rooftops and airplane hangars to breweries, entertainment destinations, and motorcycle dealerships- into elevated event experiences designed around each client\u2019s goals.<\/p>\n

That same approach extends beyond individual events. Through its venue management, hospitality, planning, and travel divisions, aVenue<\/a> works alongside property owners, hospitality groups, vendors, and clients to create experiences that are both operationally sound and genuinely memorable.<\/p>\n

For Sean and Ashley, the company\u2019s growth has always been tied to Orlando itself. The region has provided the relationships, creativity, and entrepreneurial energy that allowed aVenue to grow from a local startup into an expanding hospitality brand serving clients and venues across multiple markets.<\/p>\n

As the Faces of Event Innovation, Sean and Ashley represent the spirit behind aVenue\u2019s continued evolution: collaborate with great people, deliver exceptional hospitality, and keep finding new ways to reimagine where \u2013 and how \u2013 people come together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Learn how Ashley Miller and Sean Hughes are challenging the way events are being done!
