With over 25 years of experience in the hospitality industry, Mark keeps his focus on our clients’ goals, while exacting excellence in every aspect of an event. Whether it’s a sales rally or wedding reception, each client faces unique challenges in producing a successful event. That’s where Mark makes a difference, actively listening and providing innovative solutions. We all think Mark coined the phrase “We’ll make it work!” As one mother of the bride said… “I know this is your business, and it’s what you ‘do.’ But please never forget that to those of us who are planning a special occasion, especially a wedding reception, it will be THE most special night of their lives. You are wonderful at your “job” but it was your kindness and patience that got me through without having a nervous breakdown!” Mark and his wife Jane have five grown children and live in Roswell, where they enjoy wine tasting and playing ALTA mixed doubles, although not at the same time. Think of Mark as insurance for the success of your event.
