Celebrate Events - Whistler BC

Roxanne Cave

Roxanne fell in love with Whistler in 1988 during her first trip to work and ski and has made it her home ever since.

Over the years Roxanne has amassed broad experience in every aspect of the planning process, including involvement in major sporting events such as operations with the World Cup Freestyle in the mid 90’s to large association conferences, corporate meetings and full scope wedding planning.  She has undertaken special event management studies at the George Washington University in D.C. in addition to working within the Fairmont group of hotels in sales and marketing and conference services departments.

Roxanne understands the importance of strong relationships, open communication, attention to detail and unwavering commitment to each and every event.

She hopes everyone sees the beauty in Whistler as much as she does and makes it her personal goal to ensure each event is unique, memorable, stunning, and impeccably organized.

Her passion is working with people and her loyalty is to providing events to remember.

Hayley Beveridge

Hayley comes to Celebrate with a diverse background in meeting management and hospitality. After completing her studies which covered Business, Event Management and Hospitality, Hayley jumped into the conference planning field in Melbourne working as a floor coordinator with a large conference planning company, then on to Seminar Coordination with an educational firm.

As all good Aussies do Hayley decided to take her travel bug seriously and left Melbourne for Whistler, completing a winter working for one of our many luxury hotels, and: very hands on in events and banquet departments.  Upon her return to Australia Hayley took a position with one of Australia’s leading conference and event management companies as a program coordinator working on programs as large as 4,000 delegates.  Of course we were lucky that she missed Whistler immensely and decided to return to work where the biggest events in the world happen.

We are delighted that Hayley has decided to join our team and would like to introduce her to you as our Corporate and Special Events Manager.
