our founder
After graduating from Central Michigan University, Agata began her career in London, planning events for a financial publishing company. Her strong work ethic and unwavering eye for detail quickly earned her an event manager position in New York City, where she went on to complete her education in Event Management from New York University. Three years of managing corporate conferences and special events later, Agata found her way back to her midwest roots in southeast Michigan. Desiring to make an impact, she joined the University of Michigan's events team, planning development fundraisers, presidential dinners and university ceremonies. After planning her own wedding in 2012, she decided to put her skills and experience to the test and established Take A Seat Events, now Ines & Marie. Agata is the Founder and Creative Director at I&M. She is the face behind our Instagram account and thrives when she finds the perfect song to go along her reel. She is the master of flatlays, floral recipes, and dreaming up installations. Agata is a mom of three, the team fashionista, and loves her Aperol Spritz. She lives in neutrals, athleisure wear, and baseball hats. When she’s not flowering, Agata and her husband, Chris, are in the process of renovating their lakefront cottage on Cedar Lake, MI!
