...be the one that people remember? The atmosphere, the band, the food, the laughter, the butterflies in your belly. The one party guests didn't want to end. They talk about it for weeks and months, long after you've said goodnight, wrapped the leftovers, sent the thank-you's, and placed the pictures into albums. This is the type of event Mint wants to throw for you.
Mint is located in Bend, Oregon - a city known for it's scenic setting nestled in the mountains surrounded by world-class skiing and resort living. Mint was founded and created by Sara Goodrich and Kerry Bergler, who have united their distinctive strengths and individuality to create a business that will help cater to the most discerning clients with exquisite taste. Mint is a full service event planning company that can handle every detail to make your event reflective of your unique taste, personality and budget.
Sara Goodrich brings a cutting edge design focus to Mint. Sara has a keen eye for style as well as an extensive background in design, space planning, and event coordination.
Before discovering her passion for events, Sara worked for international design icons Herman Miller and Knoll, where she gained immeasurable experience in the detail rich world of architecture and interiors. The time Sara spent involved in the meticulous orchestration, and detailed space planning of commercial interiors, lends itself greatly to her future success in event coordination.
Her career in event planning began in Portland, and has since moved to the world class resort community of Bend, Oregon. While in Bend, Sara has been involved with a diverse portfolio of events from coordinating destination weddings, to staging for The White House Press Corps during a Presidential visit. Her range of experience, paired with an upbeat personality and strong client relationships are the perfect blend to turn your vision into an unforgettable reality.
The foundation of Sara's design experience is a bachelor's degree in Interior Design from Oregon State University. While in college Sara also studied architecture in London and Paris, and has since traveled extensively throughout Europe and North America.
When not deep in creative Mint thoughts, Sara enjoys painting, traveling, outdoor recreation and spending time with her husband and two children.
Kerry's diverse background helps her to provide a level of service to Mint client's that is unmatched. She exudes her flair for life in all areas of her work and her business management skills have landed her vast career success in many areas of business before partnering with Sara Goodrich to found Mint.
Prior to Kerry's move to Bend, she spent over ten years working for the Schnitzer family of companies in Portland, which provided her a broad base of experience in everything from human resources to commercial real estate. During her tenure Kerry took on additional opportunities to plan and orchestrate events ranging from holiday parties for over 300 employees to weekend management retreats which required accommodations, scheduling meetings and cocktail hours. Little did she know that these occasions would equip her with significant tools for her career with Mint. She brings her detail-orientation, resourcefulness and creative thinking in approaching any special occasion.
Because of her love for traveling, Kerry is often recruited to help plan family adventures, both domestic and abroad. This extraordinary group of 15, including seven young children, has successfully voyaged to Norway, Kauai and most recently skiing in the Canadian Rockies.
Kerry has a degree in Business Administration from Azusa Pacific University and is also a trained court appointed special advocate (CASA) for abused and neglected children. She volunteers her time working with the local court system on behalf of the best interests for these children.
In her time not spent perfecting events for her clients, Kerry enjoys numerous outdoor activities, reading, and spending time with friends and family, the latter of which includes her husband and two little boys.
When you close your eyes and picture the perfect wedding, cocktail party or birthday soiree, what do you see? At Mint, we see it too.

They travel annually to top event trade shows, and are continually improving their knowledge by taking ISES (International Special Events Society) courses in everything ranging from event themes, to risk management.
