Katy Kennicott
SENIOR CREATIVE DESIGNER
Katy Kennicott’s journey with The Grant Collection began in late 2022 as a Venue Assistant, where her passion for creating beautiful, welcoming spaces quickly shone through. By 2023, she advanced to Venue Manager, before stepping into the role of Décor Manager, where she honed her expertise in décor consultation and innovative design. In her current role as Senior Creative Designer, Katy has played a pivotal role in shaping the success of Charm Decor House, designing over 300 weddings and events and introducing new décor concepts and business practices.
With a background in art, yoga, and general education, Katy’s creativity, problem-solving skills, and attention to detail are the driving forces behind her work. She thrives on collaborating with couples to bring their wedding visions to life, ensuring every décor detail aligns with their dreams. From building Charm’s inventory system to working hands-on during event installations like drapery at Port 393, Katy’s passion is in the process—from initial ideas to the final product.
The most rewarding part of her job is seeing a client’s vision come to life on event day, watching the décor transform a space, and hearing guests’ reactions. Outside of work, Katy enjoys home and yard projects, art, spending time with her family, and traveling to new destinations, especially in the summer when she loves to be by the water. Her dream for 2025 is to curate an unforgettable event that pushes the boundaries of creativity while contributing to the growth and success of her team.
