So I
went to school, went to Central Michigan University for event management and I always had the plan to go to a bigger city and go work at a large venue to do conferences, conventions, corporate dinners and galas and
essentially non-wedding events.
I interned at JW Marriott Grand Rapids in 2019 with the plans of, you know, I want to be doing corporate events.
Pandemic happened and I had the opportunity to return as their wedding coordinator.
coordinator.
Initially, I was like, I always avoided weddings all throughout college.
I didn't want to be a wedding planner.
Everyone would always ask me.
I just want to do corporate.
And honestly, looking back, I think I was so silly for running from weddings because now that I'm in the wedding industry, weddings are truly like, this is my passion.
And I found what brings me joy and what is so rewarding as a career.
I think it's so great that I get to work with couples to
essentially like bring together the best day of their lives.
Yes.
Yeah.
And I love just to get to know the family members too.
Sometimes mom is involved or like the
close bridesmaid or friend or sister whoever and to be able to get to not only know the couple but their family and the ones that are closest to them along the way is really special i love to stay connected with my couples and to watch them go on to build a new life together move to different cities build a home start a family it's just so great
super important conversation that i always have with my couples really like at the tour before they even book i want to be very transparent of what is a venue manager how is it different than a wedding planner than a day of coordinator what are those roles my responsibilities for the wedding experience at jw is primarily going to be focused on the venue
