Party People
We at Events Laureate like to think that we're polished, proficient and professional party people (and peachy-keen too). We have over 15 years of event planning experience, and have organized everything from weddings to murder mystery dinners to children's birthday parties. Our events stand out from the crowd because we take the time to make each client our friend, on the theory that your friends know you best and can think of party elements to make you happy that you might not even think of yourself. We invite you to get to know us a little bit by reading the comments on this page from some of our clients and friends, since they know us best. We hope to meet you and make you part of our ever-growing circle of friends!
Sarah Gibson, Owner and Senior Event Designer
Sarah has owned and run event planning businesses since the ripe old age of 12, but hopes (!!!) she's at least slightly more sophisticated now. She loves to create classic and beautiful events with individual twists that reflect the taste and personality of each host or hostess, and prides herself on having only happy clients. Sarah can help with every aspect of planning a wedding or private personal event, from finding the perfect venue to helping select a unique and delicious menu. Sarah's former legal career allows her to bring sharp contract negotiation skills to the table, as well as any last minute cold-feet mediation that may be (temporarily) necessary. You will most likely get her on the other end when you call Events Laureate, so feel free to ask her about her experience, favorite shoes, or scariest dinner party experience (hint: it just might involve fire).
From Our Clients and Friends
“Sarah pays attention to the little things, and goes out of her way to make others feel at ease. Most of all she's astonishingly perceptive and clever - she makes me laugh until my face hurts every time I talk to her.” - Cynthia Convey, Convey Photography
"Sarah is one of the most engaging and funny people I know, and I'd pay gobs of money to be invited to one of her dinner parties, much less a full-fledged event." - Winston Ross, The Lane County Register-Guard
"Sarah doesn't just call - she sends flowers and sings on your voicemail. She's one of the closest and most involved friends I've ever had, even when she lives thousands of miles away. She cooks a mean dinner, gives a mean makeover, plans a mean party, and isn't even mean." - Rachel Anderson-Rabern, Bride
