Meet the venue’s Welcome Team Executive
Casey shares her experiences working in the wedding industry, and what she loves most about her role as Welcome Team Executive at Crumplebury:
“It’s an industry that’s completely centred on love, which was what pulled me towards choosing this path for my career. Within the wedding world comes a myriad of different roles and responsibilities, however, when couples come to visit me, it is usually during the first step of their process and perhaps the most important – choosing their dream venue!”
“My role means I get to witness couples imagining themselves getting married, which is one of the most romantic and meaningful steps in their journey. Imagining all their family, friends and loved ones sitting in the ceremony chairs about to witness one of the most special days of their lives is a privilege and is what puts the inspiration behind everything that I do.”
“You can’t beat the real life experience this career provides and it gives me the opportunity to be creative and bring some form of magic to our couples.”
Casey also shares her best expert advice for couples planning their wedding: “Venues love to get creative, and the sky’s the limit when it comes to creating your perfect day! So, my top tip for couples beginning their planning journey would be to lead with what you love and what is important to you. Following trends is great when looking for inspiration, but ultimately your day should reflect you and your partner and what you hold dear.”
