Project Manager & Event Designer

Kara Wheeler

I'm truly passionate about every aspect of my work! With a Bachelor's Degree from Drexel University and a Culinary Degree from the Art Institute of Philadelphia, I've pursued my dream career with dedication. Since 2008, I've been immersed in the Hospitality Industry, specializing in event and wedding planning since 2011. From the initial client meeting to selecting linen colors and crafting the perfect menu, there's nothing more rewarding than witnessing an event unfold seamlessly. When I'm not engaged with clients, you'll find me enjoying time with my two amazing daughters, staying active outdoors, diving into a good book, or exploring new recipes in the kitchen. I look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with you and bring your event dreams to life.

Catering Sales Coordinator 

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 Operations

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—a day we'll 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!
