- JO - YOUR EVENT MANAGER

Hi! I'm Jordanne Machiela—though most people call me Jo.

While building my own event business, I also work as an Events Manager at the Boise Metro Chamber. I’ve been in that role since May 2024, and before that, I gained hands-on experience as a Supervisor in Event Operations at the Boise Centre, Idaho’s largest convention center.

I graduated from Washington State University in 2023 with a Bachelor's degree in Social Sciences, with concentrations in Psychology, Administrative Studies, and Communications. I also earned a minor in Hospitality Business Management, an area that has fueled my passion for creating meaningful, memorable events. Go Cougs!

Through my business, I specialize in event management and design, bringing a creative, detail-oriented approach to every celebration. Whether it’s an intimate gathering or a large-scale wedding, I focus on curating events that feel personal, polished, and unforgettable. Each event is a step toward my long-term dream, and I’m proud to be building that future one beautifully planned moment at a time.

goal is to design & own a wedding venue

There was one day I was sitting and chatting with my grandpa when he shared something that stuck with me. The importance of setting 1-year, 5-year, 10-year, and 20-year goals for your career. After that conversation, I sat down and wrote mine out. It was the first time I truly had a clear vision for where I wanted to go. Ever since then, every step I take is with intention, all leading toward my 20-year goal: designing and owning a wedding and event venue.
