About Us
We’re not corporate.
We’re hospitality.
Irisen was born in NYC, surrounded by the energy, pressure, creativity, and beautiful chaos of the hospitality and events industry.
And honestly? We got tired of it.
We knew the events industry deserved better.
Tired of more software. More spreadsheets. More tabs. More passwords. More systems that solve one small piece of the puzzle while leaving the rest for you to figure out.
WE HEAR YOUSo we built Irisen. Not because hospitality needs more technology. Because it needs technology that actually understands hospitality.
Technology that moves as fast as your business does.
Technology that keeps the details organized, the team connected, the client informed, and the endless administrative work from taking over your day.
02
BEO Management
Build detailed Banquet Event Orders with line items, categories, fees, and totals — all organized and client-ready.
03
Venue Marketplace
Browse a curated directory of event venues, filter by event type, capacity, and location, and send inquiries directly from the listing — no middlemen.
04
Payment Tracking
Track deposits, balances, and full payment schedules in one place.
05
Guest Portal
Give every client a private, branded portal to review their event details, sign contracts, make payments, and chat with your team — all in one place.
06
Lead Pipeline
Manage every inquiry from first contact to confirmed event with a full CRM-style pipeline designed for venue sales teams.
07
Smart Calendar
A visual event calendar with two-way Google Calendar sync keeps your whole team on the same page and prevents double-bookings automatically.
08
Vision Board
Collaborate with clients on a shared visual mood board — drop in photos, color palettes, and inspiration so everyone aligns on the look and feel before a single deposit is paid.
09
Floor Plan
Design and share to-scale floor plans with drag-and-drop furniture, table layouts, and seating — then export them straight into your event details for staff and vendors.

And More...
Reviews, referrals, email campaigns, vendor check-ins, AI signals, and a constantly growing toolkit — all built to keep your business running while you focus on the moments that matter.
Your business is personal.
Your technology should be too.
We’re not here to replace hospitality, creativity, relationships, or the things that make your business special. We’re here to be the best friend behind the scenes — quietly taking care of the repetitive tasks, scattered details, follow-ups, documents, payments, and workflows that can pile up and steal your time.
Because no one starts an events business dreaming about spending their evenings catching up on admin.
You started it to create, host, build, connect, and make extraordinary things happen.
That’s what Irisen is here to give back to you: More time for the work you actually love. More clarity behind the scenes. More room to grow.
We built Irisen for the people behind extraordinary events — because we believe the technology supporting hospitality should feel just as thoughtful as the hospitality itself.
With love,
The Irisen Team

About Argenis Gutierrez
Co-Founder, Irisen
With 16+ years in hospitality, Argenis has truly worked his way up from the ground floor, starting as a barista and growing into leadership across coffee, technology, and operations.
He’s a natural problem-solver who loves finding smarter ways to make complicated things feel simple. He’s also the kind of teammate who doesn’t believe in saying, “That’s not my job.” Need a barista? He’ll jump behind the bar. A guest needs help? He’s there. An event needs an extra set of hands? Count him in.
He loves working with people, talking with clients, and most importantly, being part of a team. That hands-on mindset is a big part of what inspired Irisen: technology should work for hospitality, not the other way around.
Fun fact: When he’s not working, you’ll probably find him riding his bike, taking care of his plants, or hanging out with his dog.

About Alissa Merino
Co-Founder, Irisen
With a degree in Culinary Arts and Hospitality Management, Alissa has spent her career getting to know hospitality from just about every angle: from kitchens and catering to finance, venues, production, and large scale events.
She’s built proposals, managed budgets and logistics, coordinated productions, and helped bring events to life. She’s always been the person asking, “There has to be a better way to do this.”
Bringing people together, turning big ideas into reality, and finding smarter ways to make hospitality work better, is what ultimately became a big part of the reason Irisen was born.
Fun fact: Outside of Irisen, she’s happiest spending time with family, getting lost in anything art-related, and discovering her next favorite women-founders networking event.
