Shannon Lee (Event Assistant)
Shannon has a passion for creative parties and entertaining. It’s no wonder at an early age she decided what better place for creativity and entertaining then a wedding?! After finishing college at Fort Lewis in Durango Colorado where she earned her degree in Marketing and Tourism/Hospitality she headed straight to Summit County to work for Copper Mountain Resort. Her dream of becoming a “professional” ski bum was soon realized!
While at Copper Mountain Shannon was in charge of the leisure groups such as ski groups and ski teams in the winter followed by weddings, conference groups and musical events such as Copper Country, where acts like Big and Rich and Willie Nelson preformed heating up the cool summit county nights during the summer. After working at Copper Mountain she was recruited to help manage and fundraiser for a local ski team, Team Summit. There she oversaw the membership, fundraising and business development for the team and their 350 competitive athletes.
Last year she finally moved back to Bend, Oregon where her heart was stolen 10 years ago by the beauty of the area, wonderful friends and the love of her life. Since returning to Bend, she has not lost any speed and jumped right in to assisting couples with their big day in Central Oregon. When she’s not a work or on Pinterest, she’s enjoying the outdoors with her main squeeze and their dog Doug.
