THE EVENT

Photos from the 2019 Live, Love, Laugh Valentine’s

The Live, Love, Laugh Brunch is a celebration of love. During this one-day event, participants will enjoy great food, comedy, musical entertainment, vendors, and more. Our goal is to attract a minimum of 300 guests through the support of generous sponsors like you.

We are thrilled to provide this exciting experience to our community that will enrich the lives of Columbus, Ohio residents during Valentine’s holiday.

Melinda Payne Events and DPI Graphic Design have partnered to create Live, Love, Laugh Brunch, an exciting and memorable occasion for couples and singles looking for an alternative to the common Valentine’s observations. 2016 marked the first year of this event with 35 guests, growing to over 300 guests in 2020. We are confident 2023 will be the best event ever! The 2023 event is scheduled for Saturday, February 11, 2023.

GEOGRAPHIC MARKET AND TARGET AUDIENCE  The geo-market is Central Ohio, Columbus and surrounding

municipalities.  The target audience is couples and singles 30 and older. Special

promotions will target couples clubs, marriage and single ministries, engaged couples and families.  Projected attendance is 300+.  Promotions created by sponsors could be a prominent part of the marketing strategy.

Current media partners include 247 Praise Radio, Urban Trendsetters Television Network, Social Media, and PR E-Blasts.

BENEFITING EVERYONE IN OUR COMMUNITY This year, the Ohio Sickle Cell and Health Association (OSCHA) will serve as fiscal agent and nonprofit foundation.

Their involvement will assist in the fostering of the “Love is a Ripple” Foundation. #Loveisaripple is a year-round initiative that includes planned and random acts of kindness to the lives of couples, singles, children, homeless, and those who are less fortunate. It is our goal to transform the lives of those who may or may not have experienced love or kindness. The celebration will be a fund raiser for #Loveisaripple, a 501C3 work in progress that emphasizes that love and kindness is not to be kept but given away.
