It is with great pleasure that I highly recommend Sara for a position as Catering Sales Manager, Sales Manager, Hospitality Manager or Guest Experience Manager. I worked with Sara for 13 + years at Auberge du Soleil. She started with us in May 2007 as a Private Dining Coordinator. In this role she did an outstanding job as lead captain for weddings, corporate and social functions and as liaison between the private dining staff and the kitchen, ensuring that no detail was missed so that all events operated smoothly. During her tenure with us she was promoted twice, to Catering Coordinator and then onto Catering Manager where she excelled at both sales and the execution of wedding and social events. One of the things that impressed me the most was Sara’s creative and

As an event planner I had the pleasure of working with Sara several times while she worked at Auberge. I will miss working with her there. She is professional and friendly. Was always very patient with answering a barrage of questions from me, knowledgable and informative. Present, resourceful, and helpful on the day of my events should I need anything. My clients all loved her! She was ahead of the trend of micro weddings when she created an "intimate" wedding package offering for the property. One of her brilliant ideas was to utilize an underused space to accommodate those who desired an intimate and quiet ceremony. I hope to work with her again on her next venture. She will be an asset to any employer who is fortunate to hire her.
