our reason
MEET THE FOUNDER
brittany mcneal
I’m Brittany McNeal — a creative builder, event visionary, and proud military spouse behind Lonnie Eli & Co. and HERplace Foundation. I design custom collapsible bars, carts, and rentals that bring personality to every event, while also building community through HERplace, a marketplace empowering women entrepreneurs — especially military spouses and veterans. Inspired by my two sons and my late cousin Fallon, HERplace is a tribute to showing up, supporting others, and creating space for women to thrive. Whether I’m in the workshop or at a women-led event, I’m all about building spaces where people feel like they belong.

"This event checked all the boxes! Brittany and her team provided helpful pre-event resources and networking opportunities, promotional materials, consistent social media marketing, and a well-organized layout and flow on event day. Most importantly, I loved being part of the HERplace vision and an event specifically designed to support women-owned small businesses!"
