In addition, the Hyatt Regency Monterey Hotel and Spa has hired Samantha Davis and George Romero as its new Wedding Specialists.
Upon
graduation from Arizona State University in 1998, Sam started working
for Hyatt Regency Phoenix. Since then she has more than 16 years of
hospitality experience, including previous assignments at Hyatt Hotels
in Lake Tahoe, Huntington Beach and Denver.
Sam brings
extensive knowledge and coordination of both social and corporate events
to the position. Sam’s past clients and groups have outstanding praise
for her organizational skills, creativity and attention to detail. They
also appreciated the personal care she gave to every special occasion.
Originally from Australia, Sam currently lives in Monterey with her 7-year-old pitbull mix Gracie.
She
is looking forward to exploring the area with her canine companion, as
well as enjoying local food, wines and the spectacular scenery of the
Monterey Peninsula and its surrounding areas.
George is
originally from Phoenix, Arizona and has worked for Hyatt Hotels for
almost 17 years, starting as a Deli Café attendant at the Hyatt Regency
Phoenix.
He has worked in and helped manage casual and
fine-dining restaurants, bars and banquets during his 17 years, and is
now in his dream job as a wedding specialist in the hotel's Event
Planning Department.
George comes from a large family —
he's the middle child of eight brothers and sisters — and calls himself
an “extreme socializer,” a talent that comes in handy in wedding and
event planning.
He says he “loves taking pictures,
dogs, cooking, traveling, ‘Orange is the New Black,’ green tea, dancing,
real Mexican food, making people laugh, tennis and a great cocktail!”
Although
usually fearless, George admits to being scared of heights and
“Bridezillas.” And he has unusual taste in cocktails. His favorite drink
is the unheard-of red wine with Coca-Cola!
