A Q&A WITH MOLLY PETERS
Molly grew up in a rural town in Maryland and attended a local community college to study event management and hotel lodging. As early as she can remember, Molly has always loved being creative and designing small get-togethers for friends and family, which later turned into the love she has for this industry.
In January 2021, she made the move to Nashville to begin working with us as an event coordinator. Before that, she worked for a historic venue in Maryland, managing the corporate and social events. Her attention to detail and creativity are part of what make her such an asset to our team!
Outside of work, Molly loves spending time at our local Sixty Vines with her friends and hanging with her sister. And let’s not forget her ability to sew, which is always helpful for any fashion emergencies on the big day!

We had a couple who rented a donkey for their event. Everybody loved it!!
