About

My name is Monica McLaughlin, the face behind McLaughlin Events & Marketing, located in Goldendale, Washington. I am passionate about planning, coordinating, and making memories through wonderful experiences, weddings and events, as well as marketing your business to reach more current and potential customers. As a small business owner myself, and working with small businesses the past 3 years, I know how important it is to give quality events and marketing, at a good price.

Our New Chapter: Among the Trees Botanical Lavender Farm

We’re growing something new in Goldendale, Washington—Among the Trees Botanical Lavender Farm, the heart of McLaughlin Events & Marketing. Nestled among the pines, our farm is becoming a gathering place for creativity, celebration, and connection. From seasonal workshops and private events to markets and retreats, each experience is rooted in nature and crafted with care.

Keep an eye out for future events at the farm, as we finally have our own space to create some fun, meaningful experiences! Come see the beginning of this beautiful new chapter—where community blooms among the trees.

What People Say

I highly recommend Monica for your Events and Marketing! Monica and I worked together a few times when she booked me at The Kentucky Castle in Versailles, Kentucky! She always went above and beyond for my crew! “

I had my start player from the first minute. Monica could be relied upon to manage other internship students as well as professional staff as if she had been doing so for a decade. Some of Monica’s tasks came with some regognition and honor, but many more so were the thankless small tasks that are the foundation for the day going well. Whether it was managing opening and closing ceremonies or the tedious task of managing VIP relations, Monica was my right hand.”
