Kesha Gooding | Kesha.gooding@brentwoodtn.gov
With 12 years of experience in the wedding industry, Kesha brings a vast knowledge of management, organization and production for all types of events - with a focus on high end, luxury weddings. Kesha’s love for the event world, her positive outlook, and anything that can be planned, shines in her personality. When Kesha is not managing the City of Brentwood’s event venues, she loves being with her husband Dean, being outdoors; whether it is camping, hiking or fishing. But her favorite pastime is spending time with her two daughters Ella & Piper!
Fun fact: Kesha’s degree is in theater production.
