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.
I launched AU Events to serve my community through my natural skill set in planning, coordination, and detail management.
Mission
To serve the Shenandoah Valley through detailed and comprehensive event management
WE VALUE:
Passion
The rush of a well-planned event, seeing guests enjoy themselves, and pride in our efforts all feed the passion we have for seamless event management.
Integrity
We serve our community with the utmost integrity, honesty, and respect.
Empathy
We know, all too well, the courage it takes to ask for help, so we serve our clients with empathy and understanding.
Meet Our Team
Audrey Hoodock Smith
Owner and Operator
In my 10+ years of experience, I’ve planned more than 20 different kinds of events in various roles 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.
Recently, I also became a Certified Quality Event Planner (CQEP) through the Management and Strategy Institute.
I live with my husband, Jeff, and our three-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 working with you to alleviate stress and to let you be a guest at your own event.
Glad you asked!
