Meet Tristen
Hi, I'm Tristen Lovekamp, founder and lead planner of Kamp Love Events.
For as long as I can remember, I've been the person bringing people together, creating memorable experiences, and making sure every detail is thoughtfully planned. What began with organizing birthday parties, sleepovers, and weekend adventures eventually grew into a career planning events for nonprofits, educational institutions, healthcare organizations, businesses, and community organizations.
With more than 10 years of experience in program coordination, event management, community engagement, and nonprofit leadership, I bring both creativity and strategy to every event I plan. I hold a Master's degree in Public Administration with a concentration in Nonprofit Management, giving me a strong foundation in project management, budgeting, logistics, stakeholder engagement, and creating exceptional experiences that achieve meaningful outcomes.
Throughout my career, I've planned everything from multi-day conferences and nonprofit fundraisers to grand openings, volunteer appreciation events, professional meetings, retreats, trainings, and celebrations of all kinds. I've coordinated events for hundreds of attendees, managed vendors and venues, developed event timelines and budgets, and overseen every detail necessary to ensure events run smoothly from start to finish.
What sets me apart is a combination of organization, adaptability, and genuine care for the people I serve. I understand that every event is personal—whether you're celebrating a milestone, bringing a team together, honoring a loved one, or creating a memorable experience for your guests. My goal is to make the planning process enjoyable and stress-free so you can focus on what matters most.
At Kamp Love, I believe the best events don't just happen—they're thoughtfully designed, carefully coordinated, and filled with moments people remember long after the day is over. From the first planning meeting to the final guest departure, I am committed to providing personalized service, clear communication, and attention to every detail.
When you work with Kamp Love, you're not just hiring an event planner—you're gaining a dedicated partner who treats your event as if it were her own.
I'd love to learn more about your vision and help bring it to life.
