With over 35 years of experience in the hospitality industry, Pam knew early on that a life in the exciting, fast-paced field of resort, restaurant and event management was the life for her. After working her way through college in various restaurant jobs (remember the old Silver Slipper?), she decided to turn her passion into a career.
After graduating with a Business Degree in Hospitality Administration from Florida State University, she began her career working on a 5-star resort on Captiva Island. After five years with the resort, she left for a while to try life up North (aka Atlanta) working for the Peasant Restaurants. At the age of 29, she returned to the gulf coast islands to open a restaurant and catering company on Sanibel Island. This was a fun and exciting adventure, but after 4 years, she sold her shares and move back to the capital city when she met her husband-to-be who was a pilot based in Tallahassee. Happy to be back in her home town, she continued her path in hospitality management as the general manager of the Chez Pierre Restaurant. It was here that she discovered her love of planning special events. She soon took a job at the University Center Club as a Private Event Director. After eight years in this capacity, she decided that with two small kids at home, she should try the 9 to 5 life. She returned to her alma mater as the Director of Industry Relations for the Dedman School of Hospitality where she worked with other students with the same passions as herself. As her kids got older, she yearned to be "back in the trenches" so she joined several other UCC alums at the newly renovated Hotel Duval as the Director of Meetings and Special Events. Other stops along the way back to the University Center Club include projects at Honey Lake Plantation, John Gandy Events and freelance event planning and catering. She is happy to have found her way back home to family and friends at the University Center Club and is enjoying the expanded role that includes the Dunlap Champions Club and Skyboxes.
Over the years, Pam has been fortunate to be able to plan and execute thousands of events of all shapes and sizes. With over 400 weddings under her belt, she is a certified Marriott® Wedding Professional and was the founding President of the Tallahassee Association of Wedding Professionals. She has served on a variety of boards and committees over the years, but has recently decided to slow it down so she can enjoy her family as both her kids start on their college journeys. When she has free time, she loves working in the yard, mixed media art and travels any chance she gets.

Excellent venue for your wedding or event. Wonderful friendly and caring staff. We highly recommend the University Center for next wedding.
The University Center Club is a wonderful place to hold an event. Robin Wharton and her staff are a smooth running machine. She and her whole crew are very pleasant to deal with and always have smiles on their faces. There is never any drama with the University Center Club. Couple that with the excellent facilities and you have a great event. The setting is beautiful, and the staff work efficiently and quietly to make the event really sparkle.
