About MeHi there! My name is Sasha Summer Cousineau, I'm a fundraising auctioneer, emcee, wedding officiant, fundraising and event planning consultant based in Seattle, Washington.
Investing in a professional auctioneer, emcee, or officiant is an investment in the timing, strategy, and success of your event. Together, we will craft a compelling, polished presentation and we'll create the space for a highly enjoyable and productive guest experience. How did I learn to do this? |
1. I am a lifelong performer. I became passionate about the performing arts when I was in elementary school and have never stopped. In fact, sometime over the last 16 years you may have spied me on any number of cabaret stages in the greater-Seattle area.
2. For over 15 years I worked in and served on boards of women's health and rights non-profit organizations. Many of my years in the non-profit sector were spent in fundraising and development.
3. I have over ten years experience as a full-scale event planner primarily serving non-profit organizations, but also having served corporate and private clients. Auctions, 5Ks, weddings, art parties, anniversary parties, milestone birthday parties, political luncheons, classic car shows...yup...I've planned some events!
These three ingredients have blended beautifully to make me a skilled, experienced, and caring event professional who has a 360 degree view of events.
Other fun facts about me:
I am a tattooed, high-femme queer serving big boss energy and lots of body-ody-ody!
I am passionate about abortion rights, social justice, racial equity, and feminism.
I believe chocolate is a basic food group.
I like my water the way I like my wine...BUBBLY!
I believe every day is a good day for sparkle and rhinestones are daily wear.
I look forward to working with you!
