August 6, 2023
This month, the spotlight is on Lauren Peloquin, a Event Coordinator in our Newport office!
Staff Spotlights are the place to learn all about the careers, passions, and personalities of our amazing staff. You can find other Staff Spotlight interviews right here on our blog.
Q: What is the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given, event-related or not?
A: “Do the absolute best I can with Integrity.” I also find that “It’s all right to fail” or “don’t be afraid to fail” is important to remember.
Q: What made you want to get into this industry and how did you get here?
A: I have always known I wanted a job that was behind the scenes to something bigger. As a senior in high school, I interned at the Gloria Gemma Foundation helping them in the office and preparing for their upcoming events & fundraisers. Volunteering one night at their annual fashion show, I discovered that I enjoyed helping to put together an amazing event!
In college, I studied Hospitality, specifically the Sports, Entertainment, and Event Management side. The more I learned about the industry, the more I fell in love with logistics, operations, and coordination.
Q: What is something people might not know about you?
A: I was a competitive swimmer up until I was 16 years old, and I was accidentally an extra on the reality TV show Southern Charm. I am also an auntie to one of the cutest kids ever!
Q: What is an event theme or destination activity you’ve always wanted to execute for a client?
A: I would love the opportunity to host a Cocktail Party or Reception on the Coastal Queen. I also think it would be fun to incorporate Newport Cooks into an activity.
Q: What is something you are looking forward to in the coming year?
A: I am looking forward to continuing to be a part of this amazing team and assisting our clients in producing memorable events. I hope that in the coming year I get to work on a program that has a lot of moving pieces such as meeting planning, AV, offsite dinner, décor, activities, and transportation.
Q: Where do you think is the best view of Newport?
A: I would say one of the best views of Newport is from the Eisenhower House. It has a beautiful view of the Newport Bridge!
Q: What is your favorite part about working for Corinthian Events?
A: My favorite part is the variety of services we provide to our clients. It makes my every day a bit different. I also love that I am not selling a specific venue or activity but all of Newport.
Q: What is your favorite venue or activity in Newport?
A: My favorite venue to have events is at one of the Newport Mansions and my favorite activity is the 12-Meter Sailing Regatta.
Q: What was your dream job growing up?
A: At a young age I knew that I wanted to be in the events industry in some capacity. When I was in kindergarten, we had an end-of-year project about what we wanted to be when we grew up and my project was based on my dream to be a wedding dress designer.

The post Staff Spotlight: Lauren Peloquin appeared first on Corinthian Events.
We had the pleasure of working with Isabel on our recent event, and the experience was absolutely fantastic. From start to finish, the team was professional, attentive, and dedicated to ensuring everything went smoothly. The attention to detail and the seamless execution made the event unforgettable. We received so much positive feedback from our employees, and we couldn't be happier with the outcome!
"Corinthian Events met every one of my expectations, they were professional, prepared and able to pivot when we had minor changes. This organization is the one to work with if you are traveling to Boston!"
"Corinthian Events was SO wonderful to work with. Our guests LOVED the events that they planned for us. I would use them again 100%!!"
"The Corinthian team went above and beyond during our event as well as taking all of our wish lists and creating something truly fabulous. It was such a special event, all of our employees loved it all, down to every detail, we really can't thank you enough!"
"Everyone was wonderful to work with. They are very detailed and organized. Communication with myself, the vendors, and the hotel was seamless."
"I had an amazing experience with my Corinthian team! Their suggestions were spot on, and my attendees have done nothing but rave about their offsite dinner venues!"
"Our team felt we were being taken care of by the best team in Boston to bring our event goals and vision to life!"
"Three spectacular events were managed concurrently by Corinthian. They were able to meet my budget and keep all of my clients happy while executing exactly what we'd hoped for. If that wasn't enough, they pulled magic out of the air when I needed a last-minute favor. Well done!"
"Corinthian Events did a fabulous job proposing, planning, budgeting, and delivering my closing party event at the Marriott Boston Copley Place! I am so pleased with their work. Would like to hire them in every city we go to. Kudos to Shirley and Jesseca!"
"Corinthian Events stands above the rest. The amount of time and detail that they put into every aspect of the meeting is outstanding. I once thought I was a very detailed person…my level of detail does not come close to the minute details that they think of, which makes our events that much better!"
"Professional, knowledgeable, fast and responsive. Enjoyed working together as always!"
“The Corinthian staff are absolutely phenomenal! True professionals in every sense of the word. They worked arrivals, departures, tours, evening events, and everything in between. I work with a lot of DMC’s all over the world and they are number 1!”
