Meet the Team

  • Stephanie Ridgely

    FOUNDER & CEO

    At sixteen, Stephanie fell in love with weddings while working at a banquet hall in Connecticut. Since then, she has earned over fifteen years of event coordination and management experience across the legal, wedding, and nonprofit industries. From creating floral arrangements for weddings to executing corporate fundraisers, Stephanie understands the inner workings of an event from start to finish.

    As a Tremont resident, Stephanie saw the value in repurposing the former Holy Ghost church as an asset to the community and an opportunity for others to appreciate Tremont’s charm.

    Stephanie has a Master of Business Administration degree from Kent State University.
