Staff Profile: Event Coordinator, Whitney Holland

Some of you who follow our blog and Facebook postings closely may recognize Whitney.  She, and her husband Rob, where married at Integrity Hills last September and we've featured her wedding photos before.  Whitney's pretty much awesome all around and so we figured we should hire her to help us out.

Whitney's favorite part of a wedding ceremony is witnessing the groom's face when he see's his bride, for the first time, walking down the isle all dressed up in her wedding glow.  If you look closely during a ceremony you'll see Whitney's eyes peeking through the space between the double doors.

Whitney was born and raised in Ft. Myers, FL and has recently made Branson, MO her home. Whitney is an avid sports fan but more than anything she loves basketball. She played college basketball at Oklahoma Baptist University as well as Baker University. After graduating from Baker University she worked for State Farm Insurance...we figured if she could sell insurance she could handle bridal meltdowns and flower girl faux pas. 

If Whitney could live anywhere it would be somewhere tropical, warm and with a beach. And absolutely no snow.  We think Rob must have tricked her into living in The Ozarks.

Whitney landed in Branson because she met Rob here during a girls weekend getaway.  A year and a half later they were married in The Chapel. She loves being a wife and helping Rob run his business.

Whitney's favorite attraction at Silver Dollar City is the airbrushed t-shirt booth -- that's her husband's business.  Oh, and the Barn Swing.

When Whitney's not working, which is pretty much always, she's hanging out with her yorkiepoo, Sophie, playing on the lake, or watching OU football.  Whitney is clearly passionate about her job and is a wonderful addition to our Integrity Hills family.  She's ridiculously organized, loves the property as much as we do, and can bake some darn good muffins.  But most of all she has a heart for people and gets joy out of seeing a bride and groom's dream come true -- we love that about her.

Whitney's favorite flavor cake is red velvet with cream cheese frosting. 

We're blessed to welcome Mrs. Holland to Integrity Hills.  Make sure to say "hey"  when you see her at the open house.  She's that pretty, tall gal with the big smile.

What a Mess!

The Chiavari chairs arrived today and the boxes took up half The Stables main floor. The task of unpacking, checking, and storing them was daunting but thanks to the crew from Future Men the job is done and cleaned up.  Whew, glad that's taken care of.  On to the next task...

Spring is in Bloom at Integrity Hills


It's summer temperatures, with cool spring breezes in The Ozarks this weekend and Integrity Hills is officially in bloom.  If you drive down Honesty Trail right now all you'll see through the woods are hundreds and hundreds of blooming white dogwoods.  The photos don't do the beauty of these trees justice but we took some pictures in an attempt to share the gorgeous scenery.

Whoa. Watch out for those tulips.
