About Our Create Designer

Darlene Starling is an educator by trade, but her passion for creativity and design led her to the vibrant world of event planning. She began by styling and coordinating gatherings for friends and family, where her natural talent for transforming spaces and curating unforgettable experiences quickly stood out. Encouraged by those early successes—and the growing demand for her expertise—Darlene took a leap of faith and founded Five Star Events, LLC.

Today, she channels her background in education into a seamless planning process that makes clients feel both heard and inspired. Her knack for detail, combined with a genuine desire to bring each client’s vision to life, has earned her a reputation for delivering events that are as flawless as they are unforgettable. Whether she’s designing intimate weddings, lavish corporate galas, or chic birthday celebrations, Darlene’s signature style is a blend of thoughtful storytelling, polished elegance, and a touch of bold creativity.

At Five Star Events, Darlene’s mission is clear: to craft experiences that leave lasting impressions, allowing clients to relax and truly enjoy their special moments.
No matter the occasion, it should be a Five  Star Events.
