Lara’s Event Services

Photo booths, snack carts, balloon decor, backdrops, rentals, and a serving crew that stays through cleanup. One call brings the whole party together.

Servicio bilingüe en inglés y español. Se habla español.

Latina-owned and local

A family business bringing the booths, carts, backdrops, rentals, and crew that make a celebration feel effortless.

One booking brings the whole party together. We are based on the Mt. Hood corridor in the Brightwood and Welches area and serve the Portland metro, planning and working events in English and Spanish.

Our list of services is a starting point, not a limit. If your celebration needs something you do not see here, ask us anyway. If we cannot do it, we will happily refer you to someone local who can.

All of our services

Book one piece or hand us the whole day. Every service includes delivery, setup, and pickup in the Portland metro and on the Mt. Hood corridor, and you can mix and match across the list. For events outside that area in Oregon and Southern Washington, a delivery fee applies — see Pricing below. Don’t see what you need? Ask us. If we can’t do it, we’ll refer you to someone who can.
