Hi there! As Vice President of the Rock Events Venues Team, I’m fortunate to be working with the most talented and dedicated Event Managers and Facilities Technicians. Our team is laser focused on providing unforgettable experiences for clients and event attendees. Following my graduation from Michigan State University (Go Green), I moved to Florida to kick start my career in the hospitality industry, serving as an Event Manager for a Destination Management Company overseeing events in Miami, Palm Beach, and Naples. However, I took notice of the impressive developments in downtown Detroit and was drawn back home to oversee the Rocket Companies portfolio of venues. Reflecting on the past decade, standout moments include hosting my dream wedding on The Madison rooftop, embracing motherhood with the arrival of my beautiful daughter, and contributing to the growth and success of our extraordinary event venues. There is nothing more rewarding than helping others create memories that will last a lifetime!

Hi there! I am Brittany Wenson! I am a graduate from Michigan State University where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Hospitality Business with a focus in Event Planning. I began my professional career out of college with an amazing opportunity working in New York for the New York Yankees. Yes, I know, unpopular opinion but I do love baseball. I was able to kick start this passion of events in the city that never sleeps, and boy was it awesome. Once I moved back to the mitten, I started my journey on the Bedrock Event Team and I can’t believe it’s already been 2 years. I thoroughly enjoy planning events of all kinds but one of my favorites would be weddings. There’s just something about a bride and grooms’ big day that gets me so excited! When I am not assisting with your event you can catch me on the sidelines dancing as the Detroit Lions Cheerleader or coaching a high school dance team.

My ideal world would be one filled with rescue cats & dogs, lots of chocolate (especially if peanut butter is mixed in), and the ability to teleport myself to amazing destinations around the world. Throw in some spectacular corporate events and I’m the happiest gal in Detroit! I started managing events over 20 years ago at Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC while also teaching Event Management at Duke University. Along the way I earned my CMP and CPCE designations. One of my favorite events was working with the over 40 national political leaders on a multi-day conference. Talk about a lot of moving parts & endless security meetings! I’ve been back in my home state of Michigan for nearly 4 years and just love it. I am a co-founder of the Detroit Events Council and am active as a national committee member in NACE. In my spare time, I volunteer at the Detroit Zoo hanging out with the penguins and polar bears.
