Jennifer Cate
Senior Hospitality Coordinator, Driven by the Success of All Events
WHO I AM
EVENTS
I have 27+ years of meeting and event planning experience. Hospitality and attention to detail are the keys to making any event successful. From the initial phone call through the end of the event my focus is on building client relationship, listening to client needs, work with planning teams and leading successful events. My out-of-the box thinking, personal touches and complete event-minded planning is what sets me apart. I continue to build my knowledge and experiences to better serve future clients.
WEDDINGS
I have 11 years of wedding director experience, and expect the same attention to detail to be carried through as any event. From penciling in the date through the planning process and the I Do’s. I strive to build relationships with Atlanta area wedding vendors, colleagues and volunteer teams as we work as one team for the success of the wedding weekend.
