“I always say that working in the hospitality industry requires you to have a real passion for people,” says Courtney. “Through my work, I’m able to provide exceptional experiences for the important milestones in people’s lives which gives me great pleasure.”
Born and raised in Ft. Wayne, IN, Courtney moved to Ohio for her college education, starting in the school’s nursing program but eventually graduating with a communications degree. After graduation, she headed to Greenville, SC, landing a job as Venue Sales Manager at Cigar Warehouse/High Spirits Hospitality. She gained valuable experience in this position planning weddings, working corporate and social events, and large city festivals like euphoria and Fall for Greenville.
Two years later, she accepted a position with Larkins Catering and Events as Event Sales Specialist which offered her more responsibility selling parties at the company’s venues, restaurants, and offsite catering sites. It was here that she gained knowledge about event florals, custom menus, and how to create all-inclusive experiences for her clients. Several years later, she left Larkins and took a position with ClubCorp as Director of Membership at the Commerce Club, where she sold memberships until the company closed in March 2021.
Courtney joined Table 301 and The Lazy Goat in April 2021. Married to her college sweetheart, Courtney enjoys teaching boot camp and cycle classes. Her Australian Shepard and Pomeranian Papillion mix pups always keep her and her husband busy. And, of course, they love keeping up with the restaurant scene in downtown Greenville.
