About
About Olivia Sloan: Party & Event Planner in Puyallup, WA
Event coordinating is my passion and allows me to flex both my creative and analytical skills. I earned my initial professional experience at a large event venue in San Diego, where I planned countless birthdays, anniversaries, showers, and other milestone celebrations (and a fair number of weddings along the way). I later spent several years at a corporate venue in the Seattle area, focusing on meetings and conferences, where I earned my Certified Meeting Professional credential.
That combination — celebration-level creativity and corporate-level precision — is exactly what I bring to every party, shower, and small business event I plan today.
I am a mom, wife, and lover of the Sound Sound. I was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, so it’s in my roots. I like all of the quintessential PNW things like a well-made latte and any excuse to get outside — rain or shine, especially in the mountains or on the water.
Olivia Sloan Events lets me use my God-given gifts to help people throughout the region celebrate life’s moments — big or small — and make lasting memories. I believe life is too short to not celebrate well! One of my favorite aspects of this job is getting to meet so many wonderful, kind people- many who have become good friends long after their event.
I would love to talk with you about your upcoming event to see how I can help and if we’re a great fit. Please contact me!
