About Anjelica Kellas

Fueled by double espressos and creativity, I am your go-to for joyful moments and perfectly planned magic. I’m part logistics queen, part memory-maker—balancing budgets while dreaming up surprise-and-delight moments that wow. With a constant smile and a soft spot for a clever theme, I bring energy, heart, and a sense of fun to everything I touch. From the first brainstorm to the final departure, I deliver events that hit the mark—and leave a little sparkle behind. At Ladidadi XM, we specialize in crafting unforgettable corporate events that not only dazzle but also serve strategic business purposes. My role as an Event Producer is grounded in meticulous attention to detail and project management, honed through my 10 years of experience in the events field. I personally lead the planning and execution of a spectrum of international and domestic events, from sales kick offs and incentive trips to conferences, expos, leadership meetings, and in-person brand initiatives. Utilizing my skills in budget management, contract negotiation, vendor selection, and client management- paired with a consultative approach to event design and logistics, I ensure that each experience is tailored to the unique needs and goals of my clients, reinforcing their vision and business objectives through exceptional event experiences.
