Vice President of Events & Operations

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.
