merge event group

In 2023 Paul and Kristin Privette had the privilege of stepping into this legacy, bringing fresh energy and a bold vision for the future. Today, we are proud to lead a team of 20 extraordinarily talented artists and designers who transform dreams into masterpieces. From stunning visuals to impeccable service, we collaborate with our clients to craft events that are not just memorable—they’re unmatched.

Our reputation is built on artistry, precision, and an unwavering commitment to delighting our clients. As we continue to grow and innovate, we’re driven by the same passion that built this company: the pursuit of creating extraordinary experiences that inspire and connect.


For over two decades, our event production company has been creating unforgettable moments that leave lasting impressions. Founded 22 years ago by Keith Watson, a visionary artist who began his career designing events in Manhattan, our story is rooted in creativity and passion. After relocating to Gainesville to raise a family, he built this business into a cornerstone of the community, known for its artistic brilliance and dedication to excellence.
