Meet The Team: Wedding Coordinator Katie

Friendly, detail-oriented, creative, and a genuine wedding enthusiast - Katie is THE person to have by your side during what can sometimes be an overwhelming event planning process. With more than 20 years’ experience in the hospitality sector and a penchant for big-day personal touches, we like to think of her as the ultimate hypewoman/reassuring presence/fountain of knowledge all rolled into one for the lovely couples who walk through our doors at Peppers Creek. What could be better?!

Katie worked in luxury hotels across Europe before launching Wedding Road in 2018, a highly successful and fulfilling solo business venture. By her own admission, these lengthy overseas stints (and several others on home soil) allowed her to witness the many highs and lows of the wedding world. She’s seen the good, the bad, and the not-so-beautiful, and these learnings continue to inform her hands-on, tailored approach to planning milestone celebrations.

In 2022, Katie joined the team at Peppers Creek Barrel Room and Chapel. She brings invaluable expertise, industry connections right around the Hunter Valley, and sage advice for soon-to-be-newlyweds. She also works closely with fellow on-site wedding guru Jordan, and together they form the backbone of our venue’s indispensable Wedding Support Squad™.

When she’s not helping bring dream wedding visions to life, Katie can be found spending time with her 3 daughters or eating Chef Lee’s melt-in-your-mouth beef cheeks.
