Meet The Owner

Lauren was born, raised and still resides on the South Side of Chicago with her husband and two children, a daughter and son – the best of both worlds. Lauren opened Bucketz Game Zone in 2020. During the initial planning process, Lauren wanted Bucketz to be the premier go to spot for boy’s events. Her goal was to create a safe and fun space designed as a boys dream playground. That thought process quickly changed when her daughter said to her, “girls like NERF guns too, mom!” With that said, Lauren realized that Bucketz Game Zone was perfect for boys and girls alike!

With over a decade of experience in event planning and design, ranging from children events, and both wedding and baby showers, Lauren will make any event memorable. When she is not planning events, Lauren volunteers her time and services throughout the city of Chicago and surrounding suburbs, helping at schools, low-income housing complexes, senior buildings, local police stations, shelters, and other community and faith-based organizations. Lauren loves what she does and hopes to make Bucketz Game Zone the premier go to spot for your child’s special event.
