Bethany started with Epting Events as a server in 2005. By 2006, she had worked her way up to Event Coordinator, so she knows this business inside and out. In her previous career, Bethany taught dance and she brings that creativity to her work here. She loves the design element of her work and finds she can usually determine a client’s style just by listening to their “story”. She uses that story to build the event from food to floral. Bethany’s fun and outgoing personality makes her a joy to work with.
