From Siren Sisters
to Biddy Up
Before launching Biddy Up, I co-founded Siren Sisters Auctioneers with my sister. It was there that I honed my craft, combining elegance, energy, and strategy to help charities break fundraising records.
Biddy Up took this vision even further — building a bespoke, plug-and-play auction service that crosses borders and delivers exceptional results for organizations locally and internationally.
Live Google Reviews
Dale Huggins2025-04-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Carrie and the Biddy Up Team have been crucial in helping us to achieve our fundraising goals for our annual Garden Party at Umlauf Sculpture Garden + Museum. Her 3rd year acting as our auctioneer, we smashed every fundraising record UMLAUF has ever established. Obviously, the content of a live auction matters, however, Carrie is brilliant at presenting what has been curated in a manner that achieves the highest earnings possible. She brought energy, professionalism, and a genuine sense of fun. From the moment the bidding began, Carrie had the garden fully engaged—keeping the pace lively, the crowd entertained, and the bids climbing exponentially higher than we could have hoped. Her value is not simply day of the event. She plans and coordinates for months prior, working intimately with the Garden Party Team to choose the perfect live auction lineup and guides us to create the most meaningful paddles up program. Her demeanor and energy perfectly complement the efforts of our most important fundraiser. Vanessa McElwrath2025-04-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an outstanding experience working with Carrie and Buddy Up Auctioneers for our gala. From the very beginning, Carrie was exceptionally organized, thoughtful, and well-prepared. In the months leading up to the event, she met with us several times to gain a deep understanding of our mission, audience, and the overall vibe we wanted to create. Her strategic advice was instrumental in helping us maximize the funds raised during our auction. On the night of the event, her energy, enthusiasm, and professional presence truly stood out—many of our guests even commented on how impressed they were with her performance. We highly recommend Carrie and her team for any fundraising event. Anthony Eppert2025-04-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Carrie and her team were awesome, energetic and very professional. And too, her counseling to us in the months and weeks leading up the event were invaluable. Jane Kernen2025-04-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can't say enough good things about working with Biddy Up Auctioneer! Carrie was incredibly helpful and supportive throughout the entire process leading up to our event. This was my first auction for my non-profit foundation, and with very little historical data, I was building everything from the ground up—including all of our marketing materials. Carrie not only kept us informed on the latest auction trends, but she also provided strategic suggestions for auction items that turned out to be the top performers in our auction. Her insight, professionalism, and genuine enthusiasm were invaluable. I truly don’t know what we would have done without her. If you're planning an auction, highly recommend! Jennifer Hentrich2025-04-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Biddy up will not disappoint ! I have worked with Carrie and her team for years.

She clearly loves the work that she does helping each foundation achieve maximum success. Her and her team bring amazing energy, enthusiasm, experience, and expertise to the entire process.
