Emily Pollock, Events Director for Novelty Hill Januik Winery

As a Seattle native with more than ten years experience in hospitality, event planning and venue management my journey actually began with an IT-focused business degree from Western Washington University. Not surprisingly, after a short stint in the banquet department at the Westin Seattle my aptitude for event management quickly became apparent and, needless to say, I’ve been hooked ever since! Over the years I have organized all types of events, from small rehearsal dinners to corporate blowouts for more than 4000, but my true passion has always been weddings. There is a feeling of accomplishment that comes with watching a bride walk down the aisle toward the wedding of her dreams that I just can’t resist, and the desire to exceed expectations in every detail fuels my inspiration from one wedding to the next. As the Events Director for Novelty Hill • Januik Winery I have had the privilege of developing our spectacular venue into a premier location for intimate wedding celebrations, combining modern trends with traditional elements and a touch of local flair. In addition to Weddings in Woodinville I am proud to be a founding member of Wedding Network USA, Seattle Chapter, and I look forward to being a part of our long-term growth and continued success in Western Washington.
