Opening in 2013 as The Happy Hour Hostess, Carrie and her outstanding team of planners worked to serve wedding, social and corporate clients with excellence and care, offering both Full-Service Event Planning and Coordination. Late September 2026, the company split the brand to better serve each of those clients in a more specific way.
We are pleased to introduce you to Carrie Lauck Events, the new Full Service Event Planning and Design brand. The Happy Hour Hostess lives on to continue serving Wedding Management couples.
In the 13 years since our start, this company became more than an event planning company. We have mastered the art of crafting unforgettable experiences. With our team of industry experts, we've cultivated a wealth of experience and a deep commitment to excellence that permeates every aspect of our work.
Our signature style embraces bold, distinctive designs infused with a personal touch, creating events that reflect each unique vision. Using our signature project management systems, we ensure a seamless process guided by clear communication and efficient organization.
We are not chasing trends, we are not taking content video of our team on your event day- we offer clean, honest, straightforward client focused planning and design.
The secret to our success lies in our team mentality - each member upholding the highest standards. From clean lines to meticulous attention to detail, we are obsessed with outstanding onsite execution. Our guest-centric approach, rooted in a deep appreciation for hospitality, ensures that we provide a a remarkable guest experience to each person.
Guests who experience Carrie Lauck Events feel the difference.

Sipping chartreuse and green tea while looking at the most perfect white subway tile and hand painted signs. Driving through the mountains to Portland reminiscing about the best memories back home. Cozy sweaters, vintage demin, and Pabst while telling one of a kind love stories. The trials and tribulations of love, joy, and happiness. Lastly, champagne brunch and avocado toast while surrounded by the finest exposed brick, dreamcatchers, and maps to our souls. Dreamcatchers, macrame and 100 Days of Summer. Anthropologie trips and walks on the beach, love letters and secret admirers. Fall breeze, flannels, and hot cocoa. Whales and dinosaurs and handmade crafts. Salvage denim, antique leather bags, and the first time we watched Moonrise Kingdom.
The slow hum of traffic and the cool breeze that signify the joy of a new day.
