Blair Applegate
Blair Applegate, Catering Sales Administrator, started at the Days Hotel as a front desk representative in the summer of 2017. She did such an amazing job working and communicating with guests that she has since been promoted to work in the catering sales office. Blair has always known she wanted to go into hospitality because she’s always had a passion for working with people. Her favorite part about being a catering sales administrator is “being able to make a bride and groom’s wedding day special and everything they had imagined it to be!” She enjoys working with so many unique couples, and loves a challenge to get them exactly what they want for their special day. A quote she lives by is, “To achieve big things, you have to have big dreams.” Her greatest strengths are working and communicating with people along with her dedication and determination to her work!
