We are a community of people adding value to the culture of our organizations. One comedian, musician, poet, magician and speaker at a time.

We know a lot but will never claim to know it all.
Senior Agent & Founder
Melissa Beer is the senior agent and founder of Rebelle Events based out of St. Paul, Minnesota. In 2003, after graduating from Wartburg College with degrees in Marketing and Public Relations, Melissa moved to the Twin Cities where she worked as an agent for an entertainment booking agency representing all genres of live entertainment. In that role, she also served as Assistant Director to the State Directors for the Miss Universe organization, producing the Miss USA and Miss Teen USA state pageants for several states throughout the Midwest. During her time there, Melissa became deeply interested in her work of entertainer and volunteer recruitment, development and placement. She especially enjoyed working with young men and women as they navigated the entertainment booking and live event process, many times for the first time.
In early 2019, Melissa made the decision to adjust her professional focus again, this time in the way of business ownership. And Rebelle Events was born.
Since 2003, Melissa has been an active volunteer both regionally and nationally for the National Association of Campus Activities (NACA) and has been a powerful and trusted resource for entertainers, students and professional staff alike as they navigate this ever-changing industry. She has booked thousands of quality live entertainment events with impeccable service for high school, college and Fortune 500 clients and everything in between.
Internships are available with Rebelle Events throughout the school year, summer months and onsite at college programming conferences. We will work with your institution whenever possible to make sure you receive all available credit and will publicly sing your praises at every opportunity. Internship responsibilities include every aspect of running an agency and will be tailored depending on individual interests and skill sets of each intern.
