Bio
Elizabeth Ross
I have been in the hospitality industry for 25+ years and when I think of the true professionals in the industry that I had been privileged to work with, Artie Wassif is definitely on the top of that list! Artie has a charismatic way about him that is defined in the beautiful event memories he orchestrates. He is a master of grace under fire and is an expert at making all the details come together. You see Artie understands that it is the details that make the difference in the hospitality arena and he is able connect the dots creating extraordinary event imprints that drive engagement. Artie is the full package and is earnestly dedicated in delivering superior guest satisfaction. He demonstrated this clearly by cultivating a strong, dedicated team when we worked together at Rider University. He continually scored 5 out of 5 stars on surveys and email communications. He has the perfect blend of presentation, drive, enthusiasm and focus. Artie is a standout professional and has my highest recommendation. Artie would be an asset to any hospitality organization.
