We're so excited to celebrate with you!

It was May 2016 at The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe where Manny and Kate first crossed paths. Kate had just left her flight attendant career to pursue her dream as an event manager. Manny had just moved from his Island to further his culinary career. They became friends quickly by frequenting the famous eastern European house parties and supporting each other through those tough 12 hour shifts at the resort. After one year in Tahoe, Kate was promoted and transferred to The Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay! Soon after Manny was also promoted and transferred to the same resort! To this day Kate says that Manny followed her...but he denies, denies, denies! :) While there Kate and Manny became close friends again by exploring different restaurants in the San Francisco and dancing almost every Thursday at Vinyl Room. They soon became the ultimate cliché in the hospitality industry...Banquet Chef dates Event Manager! Fast forward to Christmas 2020...they survived one of the toughest years and all eyes are toward the future. Manny pops the question early that morning and of course Kate says YES! <3
