Sales Director

Kassidy first came to Berwick House way back in 2015 - and we’re not sure what’s more surprising - the fact that she agreed to redevelop Berwick House into a wedding venue, or marry Will!

Kassidy leads the events & sales team and you’ll normally find her on a run or taking new bookings.

Super fast!
