Behind the Scenes of Event Planning with Vannessa King

Today I talk with Vannessa King, the events and venues manager for The Cottage at Northgate and The Retreat WV. Vannessa shares what it's like managing two very different spaces – The Cottage, which is ideal for personal celebrations like weddings and parties, and The Retreat, focused on business events and staff trainings. She explains how her job is all about making people feel comfortable and ensuring their events run smoothly. Vannessa also reveals some behind-the-scenes tips she uses to create memorable experiences and talks about the joy and pressure that comes with planning events. She’s been in the role for about a year and loves working with clients to make lifelong memories.
