MEET THE TEAM: Alexia Hadge

Name

Alexia Hadge

My role at Melbourne Events Group

Sales and Events Coordinator

A little bit about myself

A happy, friendly Melbourne gal with a love for shoes, a great tan and copious amounts of food (I blame the Greek background).

I don’t really stop talking, or laughing, and you’ll never find me without a smile on my face.

I love to travel and experience a myriad of landscapes and cultures (especially their food and wine). I also enjoy learning languages and can speak a little bit of Mandarin!

Experience in the hospitality/events industry 

I never had a firm idea of what I wanted to do with my career, so I would describe my landing in the hospitality/events industry as a total fluke. Throughout my degree at Melbourne University (where I majored in the unrelated studies of Art History and Media Communications), I found employment working for a major events company, assisting their event management team and then their sales team. It was through this experience that I realised how much I enjoyed the fast-paced and exciting environment.

Joining the Melbourne Events Group team has been a blast and working with a team so dedicated to executing amazing events is inspiring.

What do I love the most about my job

What’s not to love?! My favourite part would have to be assisting people on their hunt for the perfect venue. Getting to meet and know a variety of individuals who are all so different and showing them a space that transforms their event.

I love how my job constantly pushes me out of my comfort zone and that I am continually learning. Each day is a challenge and an adventure in the land of events!
