Meet the Team
Tori Sipes: Venue Manager
Hi there! I’m Tori Sipes, the Venue Manager for White Willow Meadows. I
was born and raised in a little town along the Ohio River—Gallipolis, Ohio. After
planning my own wedding in 2022, I fell in love with the wedding industry and
knew I wanted to help other brides create their perfect day! After moving to
Columbus, Ohio, in April 2023, I found White Willow Meadows and have been
planning weddings ever since. Over the past two years, I’ve truly embraced every
aspect of this job, but what I love most is building connections with my couples.
Helping them celebrate their love and bringing their dream wedding to life is the
most rewarding experience! When I’m not planning weddings, you’ll likely find
me: On the pickleball court or golf course with friends, traveling to visit family and
spending quality time with my husband, Tanner and our sweet Golden Retriever,
Duke. I can’t wait to meet you and help make your wedding day everything
you’ve envisioned!
Tessa Mullins: Assistant venue manager
Hey! I’m Tessa, the Assistant Venue Manager here at White Willow
Meadows. Born and raised in Grove City, Ohio, I graduated from The Ohio State
University with a bachelor’s degree in Communication. I sort of stumbled into the
wedding industry and immediately fell in love with it. After a few years in the
business, I wouldn’t want to be doing anything else. I’m highly organized and
passionate about helping create seamless, beautiful weddings for our couples.
When I’m not working, you can find me spending time with my cat, Kronk, taking
a Pilates class, shopping, or grabbing coffee with friends. I absolutely love being
part of this amazing team and can’t wait to help make your special day
unforgettable!
Jenna stroud: lead venue coordinator
Hi Friends! My name is Jenna and I have been in the wedding industry for 4
years now. I would choose this path time & time again. I have personally
coordinated dozens of weddings in Ohio, but have had the amazing opportunity
to plan & execute several weddings in Traverse City, Michigan and Chicago. One
of my favorite aspects of the wedding day is getting to be the final voice of calm
to the bride as you are about to send her down the aisle. When I am not busy
being a Wedding planner you can find me snuggling with my two pups &
spending time with my better half. I cannot wait to meet you & make your big day
dreams come to life!
Ashley norman: operations manager
Hi there! I’m Ashley, the Operations Manager for our sister venues! I wear
many hats at these beautiful locations and spend a significant amount of time in
the flower shop! I also enjoy reading, fostering strong family bonds, and giving
back to the community. When I’m not working, I treasure peaceful evenings at
home with my husband and our lovable dog. Becoming a part of our family
business has been an exhilarating journey, where I have the privilege of creating
unforgettable moments for our couples!
