Anyone passing by Log Haven during a wedding or celebration is bound to wish they were a part of the eye-catching festivities. Faith Scheffler, Log Haven’s Banquet Sales Manager, orchestrates these enviable events. Faith works with corporate and individual clients to create memorable occasions—large or small, formal or informal. Faith takes budgets and personal taste into careful consideration when creating custom packages for each client.
Faith has been a professional wedding coordinator and special event planner for over 25 years. She started her career as a restaurateur working part-time in a beautiful mountain setting, like Log Haven, while finishing her Marketing degree at Westminster College. She joined Log Haven’s team in 1998. In accepting that position, Faith’s story had come full circle. She says, “My first memory of Log Haven was when I was a small child and I attended a wedding at the restaurant. It was summer and the bride had a beautiful, soft and slightly sheer white dress with embroidered colored flowers. She and her fiancé danced outside around the gardens. I fell in love with Log Haven at that moment. It is an honored privilege to be a part of planning special events.”
Born in upstate New York and raised in New Jersey, Ian Campbell cut his teeth on the local delicacies. He started with New York City’s famous pastrami and Swiss on pumpernickel and graduated to Philly cheese steaks from the Jersey boardwalk. The standard was set.
Like many people, Ian worked in restaurants while attending college and graduate school. Yet unlike most, he became a career restaurateur. His formal education had nothing to do with food or beverage but his informal education was all about dining. Ian likes to eat and drink.
Ian was the Food and Beverage Manager at Wyoming’s The Inn at Jackson; managed a restaurant in Alexandria, VA and owned a bar and grill in Crested Butte, CO. His wine education is ongoing—requiring many hours of research. Ian firmly believes in, and is grateful for, the American Medical Association’s endorsement of wine as “heart healthy.”
