Strawberry Manor's

Dream Team

Amy Smith and Brittany Howes

After years of bringing weddings to backyards in the rental industry, Brittany and Amy decided it was time to create a venue of their own.

Brittany Howes

Event Director

Brittany started her first party planning business for small functions over 15 years ago as a side business while she primarily worked in Operations Management for a large IT services corporation.

There she managed over 200+ employees, designed and implemented custom software, and created efficient business procedures and workflows for the company which honed her ability to focus on subtle details that created a seamless experience for the clients.

With this experience, she has been able to successfully start her own wedding rental services company, creating “mobile venues” and offering services such as decorating and coordinating.

Amy Smith

Managing Director

Managing Director with over 10 years of experience providing management and administrative support to over 15 staff members and interfacing with an average of 55 clients per day as well as facility management.

Amy possesses strong multi-tasking skills, with ability to simultaneously manage several projects and schedules.

Excellent public-facing point person for clients, customers, vendors, and service providers.

Managing Director with experience in planning the perfect event in South Louisiana

Strawberry Manor is centrally located between Louisiana's two largest cities, Baton Rouge and New Orleans, making our venue a one of a kind attraction for a variety of clients from areas across Louisiana. Because we are located within the city limits of Ponchatoula and only a few short miles from the interstate, travel and lodging is both convenient and near-by for out-of-town guests.
