Claire

Howdy, y’all! I’m Claire Jean, the Venue Manager here at Ash & Oak. Fun fact—I recently got married and had my reception right here at Ash & Oak, so I know firsthand what it’s like to celebrate in this beautiful space!

Before landing at Ash & Oak, I studied Tourism, Hospitality, and Event Management at IU Bloomington (Go Hoosiers!). After that, I spent a few years as the COO and Event Coordinator for a trivia company—so if you ever need a random fact about just about anything, I’m your girl.

My favorite part about working here is watching the venue transform with each wedding and seeing couples’ personalities shine through their décor, music, and vendor choices. I always say you can't have a bad day at work planning one of the most important and sacred days of someone’s life. 

When I’m not at the barn, you can find me traveling, watching reality TV, or battling it out in Fortnite. One of my favorite Bible verses is Romans 12:2, and I’m always up for a good chat about faith, weddings, or whether pineapple belongs on pizza.

Can’t wait to meet you soon!
