The Coalescence Collective
Meet Chloe Bott - Owner
I’m Chloe, the owner and heart behind Coalescence Event Services.
Born in Tucson and raised in the lush beauty of Washington, I grew up surrounded by hospitality. As a kid I loved offering coffee to clients in my mom’s salon and watching how small gestures made people feel seen and cared for. That instinct never left me. It grew into a career that now spans more than 20 years in hospitality and over a decade in leadership and management. Service is in my bones.
I have worked in nearly every corner of this industry, from restaurants and bakeries to catering kitchens, craft bartending, fine dining, fast paced bars, weddings, and large scale events. Catering became a major focus for me, and while attending culinary school I worked as a Catering Manager for a small woman owned business in Portland, running full event production while in school. I led teams, coordinated logistics, managed clients, and executed events from start to finish. That season of my life taught me how to stay calm under pressure, solve problems quickly, and carry responsibility for every moving piece of an event.
During that time I realized I wanted to step fully into the events world and build something of my own. I pursued a degree in Hospitality Management to deepen my understanding of operations and leadership and to strengthen the bridge between culinary work, service operations, bar service, and event execution. I wanted to create a business that could be a true culmination of all my skills combined, creative, operational, and deeply people focused.
At my core, hospitality has always been about connection. I thrive on creating spaces where clients feel supported, teams feel confident, and guests feel genuinely welcomed. I love love, I love celebrations, and I love being the person behind the scenes who makes everything feel easier for the people at the center of the moment.
Coalescence is the realization of that vision. The word means the merging of elements to form a unified whole. For me, it represents bringing together years of culinary experience, craft bartending, management leadership, and heartfelt hospitality into one purpose. Coalescence Event Services exists to create events that are seamless, personal, and full of warmth. My goal is simple. I want every client to feel cared for, understood, and completely at ease, knowing their event is in experienced and loving hands.
