Meet Lauren Flaherty

With more than 15 years in hospitality and 8 years in event production, I've built my career around creating thoughtful experiences that bring people together.

Events by Trillium was founded on a simple belief, meaningful gatherings create connection. Like trilliums linked through rhizomes beneath the soil, each gathering has the power to connect people and make them part of something larger.

My work spans community celebrations, nonprofit fundraisers, corporate gatherings, private events, and wine and hospitality experiences throughout the Willamette Valley and beyond.

Gathering beautifully means creating connections that extend far beyond the event itself.
