Erin Barrios VP of Sales and Marketing | The Event Lounge

Erin Barrios on Seamless Events, Servant-Hearted Leadership, and Excellence in Every Detail

Erin Barrios believes the best events don’t just look effortless — they feel effortless to the people experiencing them.

As the VP of Sales and Marketing for The Event Lounge, Erin helps bring big visions to life with excellence, honesty, fairness, and a deep respect for every person involved. Her work sits at the intersection of creativity, logistics, hospitality, and heart — which is exactly where unforgettable events are made.

Raised by an award-winning florist mother and an uncle who owned catering companies, Erin’s roots in the event world run deep. Service was not something she discovered later in life; it was modeled for her early. That foundation shaped the way she leads today: people first, always.

Through The Event Lounge, Erin and her team are known for making the impossible feel seamless. From event planning and design to management and execution, they approach every detail with intention and every client relationship with care. For Erin, excellence is not simply about flawless production. It is about creating an experience where clients feel included, respected, understood, and genuinely excited to see their vision come to life.

Her leadership style is open, honest, and direct — grounded in a servant-hearted approach that guides everything she does. Erin wants people to feel not only well-served, but eager to work with The Event Lounge team again.

Her heart for collaboration is also what drew her to THE CEO SOCIETY. Erin said yes because she believes in empowering like-minded women, building meaningful industry relationships, and creating opportunities for event professionals and business leaders to support one another well.

To Erin, Powering the Presence of Women in Business means true allyship, real support, and helping women step into rooms where collaboration turns into opportunity.

And when it’s time to celebrate a win?

She celebrates with her team — exactly where a servant-hearted leader belongs.
