About Cathy

Cathy Lauinger has over 20 years of experience in event planning and event production.

From humble beginnings in South Dakota—planning get-togethers with siblings in the “city” over an hour away—to organizing a luncheon for 12 sorority sisters, and eventually coordinating a multi-day, cross-country conference for more than 2,400 people, Cathy has done it all. With a strong background in event setup and production, she is not afraid of projectors, slide shows, or the behind-the-scenes logistics that make events run smoothly.

Cathy has stepped in just six weeks before a wedding in Washington, DC, coordinating everything from Las Vegas. She has helped plan a wedding in Washington state for a couple in Minnesota—while working from Massachusetts. She prides herself on noticing the little details that aren’t actually little.

Cathy loves events and the logistics that bring them to life—and she would love to help make your celebration seamless, thoughtful, and memorable.

Odds are you cannot surprise Cathy (and if you do, odds are you won't know it). She's had events with:

• Colonial Go-Go Dancers

• Light up dance floors

• Surprise Jimmy Kimmel Live crews

• Fountains

• Streamer Cannons

• Living Red Carpets

• Boston Red Sox DJ Action Jackson

Let's see what you can add to this list.
