The Alexander, is a new hotel opening in January 2013 and managed by Dolce Hotels that blends design with function in this unique urban hotel. One aspect that sets The Alexander apart from other hotels is its Art Program, curated by the Indianapolis Museum of Art, including 12 artworks created for the hotel by individual artists and a total of 40 works of art displayed in the hotel’s public spaces.  Located in the vibrant CityWay neighborhood in downtown Indianapolis.  



 

·What is your title and position at your current company?   Wedding Specialist / Catering Sales Manager. I secure and service all weddings and social events, facilitating all details of the event ensuring the flawless execution of the clients vision.

·What does your company do? How is it different than others like it?  The Alexander, a Dolce hotel is Indianapolis' premier hotel project. We are the newest and chicest hotel downtown, boasting an art-centric vibe that creates a relaxed, inviting luxury. The Indianapolis Museum of Art has commissioned 20 artists to create 40 works of art exclusively for The Alexander.

Our art-centric design will serve as the ultimate photo canvas to capture memories on film. We will be the impeccable backdrop for guests to experience a phenomenal event.

·How many years have you been in the industry?  6 Years

·What was your very first job? Lifeguard at Purvis Park Pool

·What lead you in into the event industry?  I have always been a people pleaser and extremely creative. The first event I ever planned was my very own Bat Mitzvah when I was 12. It was a shopping theme, I went around to all of my favorite stores and asked them for items to use in the centerpieces that reflected their brand. From there I was always helping people create themes for theirs and planned both of my little sisters as well. When I started at Ohio University I wanted to work somewhere that could propel me further in the event industry, Ohio University Catering Company. There I found a love for detail and the romantic nature that is weddings. I worked at Ohio University catering company for two years and after graduation I got my first job as an off premise catering sales manager.

·Why did you decide to join ISES?   I joined ISES to immerse myself in the Indianapolis event scene and learn from all of the amazing members.

·What is your most memorable event? Why? My most memorable event was a tented wedding in Cleveland, OH. A storm was brewing and the humidity was stifling while we set up a beautiful 90 X 120 tent in the backyard of a home. As my staff dropped like flies the rain began, thunder and lightning tore through the sky. Twenty minutes before the guests arrived the rain cleared and the sun began to shine. Everyone was in awe of the enormous tent with the beautiful décor of hot pink and black. Twenty pound whole salmon were cooked and served on foot long cedar planks as guests shared it around the table family style. It was a wonderful evening filled with great food, beautiful décor and amazing entertainment. As the evening came to a close the rain began again. This was the most beautiful wedding I had ever done and also the most strenuous, I will never forget this wedding.

·What’s one thing most people don’t know about you?  I love to sing and all things music!

·If you were not in the event industry, what would be your dream job? A fashion buyer for Nordstrom
