My favorite part of live events is being with the client when they first see their event all come together. All of the details, planning and meeting has finally paid off. My second favorite part is knowing that our team at Phipps has exceeded their expectations! Every department at Phipps works collaboratively to ensure an excellent guest experience.

Events at the Conservatory are absolutely breathtaking, but with events comes a little bit of craziness behind the scenes. My favorite part in all of this is working through any problem that might arise with creative solutions to allow for a stress free experience for the guests and for the client.

My favorite part of working an event is being able to be a part of the process leading up to the event. Then, seeing everything come together. Some things do not always go as planned, but it is my job to make sure the event is successful and they’re happy. All events are very important to me because I want them to be memorable.

I think I work in the happiest industry out there. There are few things more rewarding than working one-on-one with someone to make their wedding a dream come true and watching it come to life.
