Golden Hive Gatherings
Where every connection
creates a golden memory.
Creating stress-free celebrations with a golden touch.
Welcome
A warm hello from the Hive.
Thank you for your interest in Golden Hive Gatherings. This is a glimpse into who I am, what I do, and how I approach event planning. Whether you're planning a wedding, birthday or special celebration, I would love to help bring your vision to life.
The people who know me best have always called me "sunshine" — not because everything is perfect, but because I genuinely believe that when the right people gather in the right space, something magic happens. That belief is the heartbeat of Golden Hive Gatherings. Every celebration I touch is poured into with love, intention, and the kind of care that makes guests feel like they belong. Because they do. Because you do. And your gathering? It deserves to feel like the best moment of your life.
— Baileigh La Rue, Founder & Lead Planner
My Approach
Every detail has meaning.
My love language is acts of service. I'm the friend who shows up early, makes sure everyone has what they need, and stays late to clean up. Event planning lets me pour that care into every detail — giving people everything they deserve and more.
I don't just execute events. I tell your story through every detail, anticipate problems before they happen, and make sure you're fully present to enjoy your own celebration.
At Golden Hive Gatherings, I design experiences that feel intentional, inclusive, and unforgettable. We start with the same questions: What's the goal? Who needs to feel what? How do we make it truly memorable?
What I Do
Event Types I Specialize In
-
Weddings & Rehearsal Dinners
Your wedding day should feel like the most relaxed exhale of your life — not a logistical marathon. I handle every moving piece, from vendor timelines and rehearsal flow to the moment you walk down the aisle, so you can be completely present for all of it. Every style, every love story, every vision — welcomed and honored here.
-
Bachelorette Trips & Bridal Showers
This is her moment to be celebrated before the big day — and it deserves to feel just as intentional as the wedding itself. Whether it's a destination weekend packed with activities or an intimate shower filled with personal touches, I build the itinerary, coordinate every detail, and make sure the bride feels like the absolute main character from start to finish. Just ask my New Orleans bride.
-
Corporate Events & Conferences
A great corporate event doesn't just run smoothly — it leaves people feeling something. I bring the same heart and precision I give personal celebrations to every professional gathering, handling stakeholder coordination, registration, speaker logistics, sponsorship fulfillment, and day-of execution. Your team shows up, connects, and leaves inspired. I'll handle everything else.
-
Birthday Parties & Milestone Celebrations
Big birthdays. Retirements. Remissions. Anniversaries. The moments that mark how far someone has come deserve to be celebrated with the same energy they've put into life. I focus on what makes the person of honor them — their personality, their people, their story — and build a celebration around that. Whether it's an intimate dinner or a full-scale party, it'll feel uniquely, unmistakably theirs.
-
Baby Showers & Gender Reveals
Welcoming a new life is one of the most joyful things a community gets to do together. I coordinate every detail — themes, games, food, florals, balloon moments, and guest flow — so the parents-to-be feel completely held and celebrated. Every shower I plan is thoughtfully curated to reflect this new chapter and make the people stepping into parenthood feel seen, supported, and absolutely surrounded by love.
-
Holiday Gatherings & Themed Parties
There is nothing I love more than leaning all the way into a theme. Whether it's a Halloween party that actually feels haunted, a holiday dinner that smells like cinnamon and magic, or a concept-driven themed celebration that guests are still talking about in February — I handle the details that turn a gathering into an experience. Seasonal, intentional, and always unforgettable.
-
Girls' Nights Out & Date Nights
Sometimes the most meaningful celebrations are the ones that just feel like us. I plan intentional nights out for groups and couples — restaurant bookings, activity coordination, transportation, custom itineraries, and all the little touches that turn a regular evening into a memory. Galentine's parties, craft nights, candy displays, curated date evenings — if it brings people together, I'm in.
-
Surprise Parties & Engagements
The secret is safe with me — I promise. I thrive on the strategy, the secrecy, and the split-second timing that makes a perfect surprise. From building believable cover stories to coordinating the exact moment the guest of honor walks through the door, I manage every detail with precision so the reveal lands exactly the way you dreamed it would. The look on their face? That's the whole job.
-
Retreats & Multi-Day Experiences
When the gathering spans more than one day, every hour matters. I coordinate corporate retreats, friend group getaways, and wellness escapes where the schedule feels full but never rushed, the accommodations are sorted, the meals are thought through, and the downtime actually feels like downtime. Whether it's a team-building weekend or a celebration trip, I keep every detail moving so your people can focus on connection, rest, and being fully present.
Let's gather with intention.
