Nancy Swiezy started her event career at now legendary

Additionally, she freelanced as a food stylist and on site catering chef. Her culinary know-how took her to the Learning Annex where she taught two informative classes: How to Plan a Wedding on a Shoestring and Catering from Your Kitchen.

Her expertise as a culinary event chef led to catering numerous weddings. However when an opportunity to become a full time chef for God’s Love We Deliver came about; she accepted a sous chef position.

At God’s Love, Ms. Swiezy worked closely with Martha Meier, a Society Special Event Decorator.

Ms. Swiezy considered it an honor to work and train with the renowned Ms. Meier.
Given her broad-based experience in the event design/culinary field, her skill set led her to a position with BizBash Media where she rose to become Associate Publisher with the Media Company that chronicles the New York special events industry.
