About Our Guest:

Randi Bushell, co-founder and CEO of Merri, is disrupting the event planning industry by bridging the gap between envisioning an event and bringing it to life.

In the frustrating process of trying to piece together a visual of her wedding, Randi came across one area where the market fell short. Drawing on her experience in ecommerce, she saw an opportunity to create an all-in-one platform for the events industry, creating a marketplace of everything you need for an event, streamlining the entire process through immersive 3D visualization, predictive workflows, and collaboration tools.

Prior to starting Merri, Randi spent her career in ecommerce (Jet.com, Walmart.com, Macys.com), which allowed her to bring a really unique perspective to the events industry. She saw an opportunity to build a marketplace across all categories involved in designing an event—furniture rentals, linens, lighting, florals, and décor—and allow people to discover items in an immersive 3D environment.

Merri is a 3D visualization platform made for event planning. You can visualize your entire event using 3D models of furniture, decor, flowers, and more, all within renderings of your venue. You can then share it with your vendors, planner, and family, and feel confident that your vision will actually come to life.

Tech-driven where it counts, and personal where you need it most, Merri simplifies the art (and science) of event planning. We support you with the power of visualization and the transparency of collaboration, plus unlimited sharing possibilities for every “just-in-case” scenario imaginable. Now you can seamlessly build and deliver the event of your clients’ dreams.
