Amy Yarborough
Sales Manager
A proud Upstate native and University of South Carolina graduate, Amy earned her degree in Public Relations before discovering her passion for events while working with a farm-to-table event company in Columbia, SC.
That experience sparked a love for creating memorable moments and launched her career in event production.
Shortly after graduation, Amy joined Larkin’s, where she’s spent over five years helping bring more than 2,000 events to life. She has a true talent for turning big ideas into unforgettable experiences, all while making the planning process seamless and stress-free for her clients.
When she’s not planning events, you’ll find Amy exploring new hiking trails, mapping out her next trip, experimenting with fun recipes in the kitchen, or spending evenings at book club and supper clubs with friends.
Chloe Fitzsimmons
Sales Manager
Originally from Concord, MA, Chloe joined Larkin’s after spending five years in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where she worked in private event catering and as a restaurant host, all while balancing a 9–5.
After planning her own wedding, Chloe discovered that creating seamless, meaningful events is exactly where she’s meant to be.
With a background in sales, a strong eye for design, and a genuine love for connecting with clients on a personal level, Chloe brings both heart and expertise to our team and we couldn’t be more excited to have her.
When she’s not at work, you’ll find Chloe outdoors horseback riding, volunteering at animal shelters, or visiting friends back home in the Boston area.
Behind the scenes, she’s also been managing our Instagram page, sharing more frequent updates on event happenings and showcasing the beautiful ways past clients have transformed our spaces.
Jen Wargo
Director of Operations
“I grew up in Hockessin, DE and moved to Greenville 20 years ago. I graduated from Wilmington University with a major in Business Management and a minor in Human Resources. While building a career of more than 20 years in the medical field, I also have worked in the hospitality industry on and off since high school, an experience that shaped my passion for service and operations.
I joined Larkin’s Catering and Events four years ago as a part-time server, initially a side hustle that quickly grew into something much more. That passion led me to come onboard full-time where I now manage the catering operations, sales, and culinary teams. I’m incredibly excited to be part of the Larkin’s Team and take pride in helping to create memorable experiences for our clients.
When I’m not working, you’ll find me spending time with my two kids, traveling, gardening, or hiking”.
