Erin Deggendorfer, the principal owner, of Fast Creek Productions, LLC, began following her dream of becoming an event planner in 1994. While a freshman in high school Erin planned a dance for the entire Deschutes County 4H program, she raised enough money to purchase an animal from a 4Her at the County Fair auction and donate the meat to Meals on Wheels. At that moment she knew she had the bug; the planning bug.
Erin has always strived to continue her education, after graduating from Oregon State University in 2002, Erin traveled the country to coach college women and inspire individuals to reach their full potential. Taking her own advice she moved back to her home town in Central Oregon and began her own event management firm. Three months into Fast Creek Productions, LLC, Erin knew there was more she could do to enhance her business. Deggendorfer enrolled in a distance education program through The George Washington University in Washington DC. She quickly (15 months!) earned her Master's Degree in Tourism and thought she was done with school.
Deggendorfer took the position as Executive Director for the Sisters Folk Festival in October of 2003. As time went on, Erin experienced quite a bit. She gained great contacts in the Central Oregon event market and decided it was time to move on to fully enjoy her talent in Special Events.
"Being able to get up in the morning and be excited to go to work and thrilled about the new challenges your job brings each day is truly an amazing feeling. How many people can say that?"
In January of 2007 Erin decided to move her business in a different direction. While she still does an occasional charity auction and helps plan special events for many local non-profits, Fast Creek Productions, LLC has broken in to the wedding and private event market. As a testimonial to dedication to the new endeavor, Erin has quickly received her certification as a Professional Bridal Consultant, distinguished graduated, from the acclaimed Association of Bridal Consultants.
In addition to her accreditation with the ABC, she is also currently pursuing her Certification of Floral Design from the Floral Design Institute in Portland, Oregon.
Fast Creek Productions, LLC is a member in good standing in the following organizations: Sisters Area Chamber of Commerce, Association of Bridal Consultants, Oregon Festival and Events Association, and International Special Events Society.
