Meet Our Team
Audrey Hoodock Smith
Owner and Operator
Welcome to AU Events! I’m Audrey and I’m thrilled you’re here.
I’ve spent years looking for the right intersection of passion, skill, and community and that’s why I launched AU Events. My natural skill set lies in planning and I thrive when I use my skills toward something I’m passionate about.
Over the last 10 years, I have gained a unique scope of experience in event management, planning more than 20 different kinds of events in various positions throughout the valley. From corporate meetings to sports tournaments and everything in between, I’ve learned what special pieces are needed to make an event successful.
My husband, Jeff, and I have a two-year-old son, Raiden, along with two cats, Cali and Buster. We frequent the local beer and wine scene and are always up for new adventures.
I look forward to planning your events so you can focus on what matters:
family, friends, fun, and making irreplaceable memories.
