Molly Irwin
Owner/Partner

Originally from Spartanburg, South Carolina, Molly grew up working at her dad’s Ace Hardware store where she learned the value of service and warm Southern hospitality. On a whim after graduating college, Molly ventured to a resort ranch in Wyoming to wait tables. The energy of the kitchen, camaraderie of the staff, and interaction with guests from all over the world caused her to get bitten by the hospitality bug. After attending culinary school at the Cambridge School of Culinary Arts in Boston, she made her way back to the South to call Atlanta home.

Over the span of twelve years, she has worked in event operations and sales at two of the leading catering and design companies in Atlanta, Dennis Dean Catering and Bold Catering and Design. She’s created strong vendor and industry relationships and has always loved the way events bring people together to create a unique buzz.

Event pet peeve: linens not touching the floor and the Cha Cha Slide

Kim Pollard
Owner/Partner

Kim grew up a Snellville, Georgia native, raised on a steady diet of Southern casseroles and Little Debbies. Her love of hospitality started when she would play restaurant from her toy kitchen but grew with her first high school jobs waiting tables at Applebee’s and the Cheesecake Factory.

Kim attended the University of Georgia, where she played club soccer and graduated from the Journalism school with a degree in advertising. After four years at an advertising agency, she felt the pull to get back to the hospitality world that she loved. She started as a Corporate Sales Manager at Bold Catering and Design where she learned the Atlanta event industry inside and out over the next 10 years. Her love of food and beverage led to her role as a territory manager at Gourmet Foods International, where she continued to expand her hospitality, venue and food knowledge in Atlanta and surrounding markets.

Her favorite thing about the events industry is meeting new people, using her creativity, and crushing a good theme party.
