OUR TEAM
the behind-the-scenes magic of Chanteclaire COMES FROM A TEAM OF 30 MANAGERS, ARTISANS, and SERVERS.
OUR TEAM IS BUILT ON respect, KINDNESS and admirATION (WITH A DASH OF IRREVERENT HUMOR), MAKING US MORE LIKE A FAMILY THAN COLLEAGUES.
Our integrity, honesty, and genuine desire to serve our couples is what hold us together AND DRIVES US FORWARD.
ABOUT LEIGH
“A triple-virgo A-type perfectionist, a lover of the world and its wines, an extreme introvert, a deep thinker, and a friend.”
Leigh purchased Chanteclaire Farm in 2011 after years in corporate America. She cares about weddings not because she likes throwing parties, but because, in today’s world, weddings represent HOPE, LOVE, AND COMMUNITY.
Leigh and her team have done 1000s of weddings. They are planners, coordinators, caterers, bakers, florists, and DJs —making Leigh skilled enough to be arrogant, but humble enough to know better. More than that, she and her team want to be of service.
ABOUT HALEIGH
“An A-type perfectionist, lover of books, dogs, carbs, and sports, and an introverted extrovert (people person until she’s not).”
Haleigh joined the Chanteclaire team in 2016 as a marketing intern, and ended up bartending for 4 seasons. It was a great spot because in addition to her super power of memorizing 150 guests’ drinks on the first try, she got to fully express her sense of humor.
When Leigh accidentally saw an email she wrote and found out that she was secretly very loving and attentive she moved her to the role of day-of coordinator, then planner. Haleigh is now the contact for couples from the moment they book to the day after their wedding when they are driving away.
ABOUT SUE
“An A-type with a healthy obsession for precision, practicality, and perfection. An introvert, a voice of reason, and the one everyone goes too with crazy new ideas.”
Sue started at Chanteclaire in 2016. Her extreme competence, seriousness about quality, and her inability to be passive aggressive has created an environment where Chanteclaire has extremely low turnover and a team that runs hyper-efficiently.
Sue is the glue that holds the property, and team, together. She supervises a majority of the staff, including the kitchen and maintenance, and is the task master of keeping the barn and grounds in order.
ABOUT DANIELLE
“An A-type, perfectionist, extroverted introvert, a voice of reason, and a lover of reading, traveling, coffee, and 2000s teen movies.”
Danielle manages Farmhouse Fete, the exclusive florist for Chanteclaire Farm. She is often referred to the coolest member on our team because she never gets flustered.
Danielle leads a team that creates florals for practically every venue in the county, doing up to 5 weddings per weekend. She has worked with hundreds of couples on color scheme development, tablescaping, and floral design. She educates couples on how to build the perfect visuals for their event while staying on budget.
ABOUT FANCY
“The only B-type extrovert on the team. Always has the best playlists, funniest stories, and a collection of jumpers and matching crocs that will make anyone jealous.”
Fancy coordinates the team of DJs at Sounds Fun, the exclusive DJ company for Chanteclaire. He joined the team in 2018 as a bartender, and Leigh quickly realized his ability to keep guests laughing and engaged, plus his great taste in music, makes the perfect DJ.
He is the only person we know that can make DISCO and EDM sound like they are supposed to be played back-to-back. He is always in a good mood, always has a smile, and is one of the kindest humans we know (it’s why we always forgive him for being so damn pretty).
