Shadine Salmon pumps $300K of MIIC 2023 MSME Business Pitch Grant into Xquisite Events

Through her artistry, she creates beautiful decorations for corporate events, gender reveals, weddings, christenings, and engagement parties. Her three-year-old business has enjoyed significant revenue growth since claiming one-of-three Ministry of Industry Investment and Commerce (MIIC) MSME Business Roadshow Pitch Competition’s grant prizes in August 2023. Salmon admits that the $300,000 prize allowed her to attain several business milestones.

“Since winning the competition, Xquisite Events by Shadine has expanded our product offerings and increased our client-base, especially on the South Coast of Jamaica. The addition of marquee number rentals, supported by the prize funds, has set us apart in the event planning market, and we’ve seen a notable increase in bookings,” Salmon revealed.
