The Event Authority

Chaselle Gazelle is the founder of Jacksonville Bestie and the creator of The Event Authority, a coaching platform for entrepreneurs who want to build real communities and grow their brands through events that actually mean something.
Chaselle has a gift for making events work — not just filling a room, but creating the kind of experiences people talk about long after they leave. Through Jacksonville Bestie, she's brought thousands of people together through social events, wellness activations, and branded experiences that have become a genuine part of Jacksonville's cultural fabric.
Her background spans marketing, sponsorships, event production, and content marketing, but what sets her apart is how she connects all of it into something bigger. She doesn't just throw events, she helps founders and creators use events as a long-term strategy for visibility, trust, and recurring revenue.
As a speaker and educator, Chaselle teaches business owners how to stop thinking in "one-offs" and start building community ecosystems — the kind that grow with your brand and keep showing up for you. Her style is grounded and practical, rooted in real experience, and focused on helping people move from idea to execution with confidence.
