Maple Event Group is a Melbourne-based, family-owned event group with two stunning event venues (Leonda By The Yarra and Fenix Events). The company has one clear goal: to consistently deliver exceptional experiences to clients and their guests. Carly Cohen and her husband, Eric Cohen, passionately wanted to work together, but they also wanted to make sure that they had time to spend with their children. They started their own company, and they have strived to create a workplace where people enjoy coming to work and feel engaged in what they are doing. Maple Event Group has been recognised for their excellence in hospitality, customer service, and as one of Australia’s great places to work.
