Meet the team
Hello, I’m Catherine.
My love for hospitality began during my college years—but truly, it started even earlier, when I worked at Bowood as a teenager while studying. That early experience sparked a passion that’s stayed with me ever since.
I went on to study Hospitality at university, which gave me a strong foundation in the industry and deepened my desire to create meaningful, memorable experiences for others. After graduating, I dove straight into full-time event planning, with a special focus on private events, celebrations, and most of all—weddings.
Now that I’ve moved back to the area, I’m thrilled to be back at Bowood, doing what I love most: helping couples bring their dream day to life.
With over ten years of experience, I’ve learned how crucial it is for every detail of a wedding to come together effortlessly. I work closely with each couple to make sure their day feels personal, beautifully thought out, and entirely their own.
I aim to bring warmth and a calm, thoughtful presence to the planning process, so couples feel supported and excited every step of the way. It’s an absolute privilege to help create moments they’ll remember forever.
I look forward to meeting you and being part of your special day.
