Melissa Guzman, The Grid on Main

My name is Melissa Guzman owner of The Grid on Main Studio & Event Space.

The Grid on Main’s mission is to provide a modern and stylish space for all of your small special occasions. We host anything from micro weddings, baby showers, birthday parties, workshops & more. The Grid on Main opened in November of 2022 and we’ve received such great support from the community since.

My husband Eric, two daughters, and I moved to Blue Springs about 5 years ago and absolutely fell in love with the area. When I’m not at The Grid you can find me selling real estate, dabbling in photography, or at the dog park with our 4 mastiffs.

We love meeting new people of Blue Springs & surrounding areas and hope to be a part of many more celebrations to come. Contact Melissa at (816) 295-7167 or thegridonmain@gmail.com
