Meet the Team – The Season Events

Holly Lynch

Nicole Williams

Nicole Williams has been named Vice President of Events and Operations for The Season Events. Nicole has been an integral part of the team since the addition of catering services in 2015. Her career as an elementary school teacher offered extra time on weekends and during the summer where she assisted The Season Events as a server in the catering department. She quickly became an event coordinator and wedding director and eventually left teaching to join the team full time as an Event and Wedding Planner in 2017. During the pandemic and subsequent changes to the event industry, Nicole’s professionalism, compassion for her clients, and creative thinking helped propel the company forward. As a result of her leadership during such unprecedented times, the company is now more successful and better prepared for a strong future.

Amber Zut Henson

She has a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and Food Science from California State University. She has enjoyed working in the South and creating many of The Season Events’ most mouth-watering dishes, including cobblers and pies along with specialty dinner menus. Amber’s efficient work style and practical industry knowledge helped The Season Events take on new opportunities and challenges during the past year. Amber’s diligent skill in purchasing and inventory management, along with her broad experience in the kitchen, makes her an asset to the future of The Season Events.

Christy Bohannon

Christy Bohannon is joining the team full-time as the Catering Sales Manager. Christy previously worked at Kennesaw State University where she served as an accounting and business operations administrator.

Christy’s friendly personality and love of snacks and southern cooking will help customers find the perfect menu for their next event.

We love having our own “Cousin Eddie” around here to keep us all smiling and well-fed.
