Everyone, meet Aris!
As you all saw, we collected ALOT of resumes last month and spent 2 days interviewing the best candidates. We’ve happily welcomed 2 new members to our crew and have 2 more in the wings as assistants.
Aris is a Richmond native, he studied English and Art at UVA and Education at U of R before embarking on an eight year international teaching adventure in Costa Rica, Shanghai, and Beijing.
His experience designing and directing school musicals, fundraisers, and festivals— not to mention keeping little hands busy each day— has prepared him to handle the logistical complexities of a wedding weekend. Playing host to friends and family, however, is where he learned to craft an event full of mirth, reflection, and heart. Recent highlights include a Year of the Dragon hot pot feast, a Frog and Toad tea brunch, and a fabulously silly Clue murder mystery dinner.
Aris lives in Lakeside with his partner, Michael, and cat, Pea. He continues to teach as he learns the ins and outs of the wedding world.
You’ll see Aris (along with 2 new faces that we’ll introduce this Summer) shadowing us at site visits, rental meetings and tastings as we catch him up to speed and help him transition into this new world.
We are thrilled to have you by our side, A! You blew us away with your creativity, calm demeanor, your sharp wit and readiness to learn.
Welcome to the Hive 🐝
