Director of Event Production

Kara Wheeler

With a true passion for hospitality, I approach every celebration with care, intention, and a refined sense of detail. With a background from Drexel University and the Art Institute of Philadelphia, along with years of experience in event planning, I guide each step of the process to ensure a seamless and elevated experience. From initial planning to the final touches, every element is thoughtfully considered. Outside of work, I enjoy time with my two daughters, the outdoors, and discovering new recipes.

Catering Sales & Event Manager

Debbie Johnson

With over a decade of experience in the wedding industry, I find immense joy in meeting and connecting with couples to discuss their special day. Providing a tour to a client for their upcoming event is truly the highlight of my day. Understanding a couple's vision is paramount, as it allows us to transform their dreams into reality. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to give you a personalized tour for any event you have in mind.

Director of Hospitality 

Danielle Iuliano

Hospitality is more than just a job; it's my true calling, and the catering industry has been my lifelong passion. As a graduate of Culinary and Event Management from Walnut Hill College in Philadelphia, I began my career in the kitchen and worked my way up to roles such as Front-of-House Manager and Event Director. With these roles, I discovered my true joy: bringing clients' dreams and visions to life. When you love what you do, work becomes a joy, not an obligation.

On our wedding day, the staff, food, and atmosphere were truly exceptional, creating a day we will cherish forever.

They were attentive to all our requests, ensuring everyone felt incredibly welcome. With numerous young children in attendance, they promptly served their meals and even catered to the preferences of our picky eaters. Since the wedding, we've received nothing but amazing feedback from our guests about the entire experience, from the food to the staff and facilities. Our family will undoubtedly turn to the Marian House first for any future event planning needs, and we highly recommend them!
