From Overcoming the Odds to Elevating Events: How Maxine Baptiste Built Occasions On Main in Lithonia, Georgia
At Occasions On Main, every event is more than just a celebration—it’s a story brought to life. Founded by Maxine Baptiste, this Black Woman Owned event venue and planning business in Lithonia, GA, is redefining customer service, personalization, and community impact.
Maxine’s journey began with resilience. Becoming a mother at 15, she defied the odds, channeling her challenges into a passion for curating unforgettable experiences. With an eye for detail and a heart for service, she built a business that transforms dreams into reality, whether it’s a milestone birthday, an executive gathering, or a lavish wedding.
But Occasions On Main is more than a venue. Maxine is committed to giving back, hosting coat drives, gifting spa days to single mothers, and relaunching her nonprofit for teen girls in 2025. Her biggest achievement? Her mother witnessing her success before passing from cancer. Now, with plans to expand into Canada and open a Breakfast Bar, she’s just getting started. Her advice? Never compare your journey—your success is your own.
