Handcrafted Occasions was created by Tara Gordon in 2021 after a career change opened the door to start something new. After years spent working in corporate offices and managing special events in higher education, she saw an opportunity to focus on her faith, her family, and her creative passions. With that, Handcrafted Occasions began as a home-based business offering custom-decorated sugar cookies and small event planning services.
For over two years, Tara built a loyal following, known for her made-from-scratch, never-frozen cookies that tasted every bit as good as they looked. But in January 2024, she made the decision to return to full-time work, a choice that left little time for the high standards she set for her cookie business.
Rather than closing the door on the world of events entirely, Tara and her husband chose to shift their focus to a new chapter for Handcrafted Occasions. Together, they now offer a growing collection of event and party rentals, including photo backdrops, drink dispensers, hot dog rollers, candle holders, and decor, helping families and friends create gatherings filled with charm, warmth, and meaningful memories.
As a family-owned business, their mission remains rooted in faith, hospitality, and a genuine love for seeing people come together. Every rental, every event, and every customer is a blessing they’re thankful for.
Handcrafted Occasions is proud to serve the local community and looks forward to being a small part of the big moments that matter most.
