The Heart Behind Golden Hour
We believe every celebration should feel as effortless as it is extraordinary. Meet the team that makes it happen.
Meet Camille Laurent
Founder & Lead PlannerWith over a decade in luxury event planning and more than 200 weddings brought to life, I founded Golden Hour Events on a simple belief: your wedding day should feel as effortless as it is extraordinary.
My approach is deeply personal. I take on a limited number of weddings each year so that every couple receives the undivided attention, creativity, and care they deserve. From intimate elopements to grand celebrations, I design experiences that honor who you are as a couple.
Before founding Golden Hour, I honed my craft at two of Los Angeles' most prestigious event firms, where I managed celebrations for Fortune 500 executives, celebrity clients, and international dignitaries. That experience taught me that true luxury is not about excess, it is about intention.
