A graduate of Chico State's Nationally Accredited Hospitality Program, Casey began her event career in wedding execution and later discovered her passion—and talent—for sales, thanks to the guidance of an encouraging mentor. She has planned everything from elegant weddings to corporate events for a Fortune 500 company, but her heart lies in creating meaningful, memorable experiences for her clients. Currently, Casey leads a team of 14 at Casa Real and the Palm Event Center in Pleasanton, CA, overseeing the planning and execution of more than 350 events annually. Known for her grace under pressure, strategic mindset, and collaborative leadership style, she brings a wealth of practical knowledge, creativity, and heart to every project. Outside of work, Casey finds joy in catching sunsets with her husband, loving on her two dogs, and the beautiful chaos of raising a spirited 4-year-old foster son.
