    Katy Cook is Glen Erin's Director of Events.

    Katy grew up in a small town in Illinois with only one stop light in the entire county. After college she moved to Wisconsin and began her career in events.

    According to Katy, attending parties for a living is no small task, but she loves every part of it. With over 16 years experience in event planning she has coordinated international conferences to upscale weddings.

    She is ultra-passionate about making each event spectacular for the customer. Much of the fun is to help assemble the puzzling party pieces for each client all while making memories that last a lifetime!

    Katy considers herself somewhat of an old soul and enjoys a good documentary or reading the newspaper. One of her favorite quotes by David Tutera is "Celebrate life every day as if it was a celebration". She has a love for movies, country music, and a good cup of joe - you will rarely ever find her without a coffee cup in her hand.
