Lynn Philpott
With NYFC since 1996, Lynn has probably coordinated hundreds of weddings, yet she still cries every time a groom sees his bride walking down the aisle. As director of La Venta, Lynn stays busy running this very popular wedding and event site yet still finds the time for her favorite activity -- planning weddings. Both her previous experience as the owner of a catering firm and NYFC’s extensive menu allows her to help clients design menus that reflect who they are and what their event is all about.
