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.”
