Stephanie Calica, HERO Event Services

As a born-and-raised local of the Monterey Peninsula with over 20 years of experience in the Events, Hospitality and Tourism industries, I will offer insights and recommendations to help you make memories on the Monterey Peninsula that will resonate long after your event.

I’ve earned globally-recognized credentials including a Degree in Hospitality Management, the Certified Meeting Planner designation and the Travel Agent IATAN accreditation. I’ve also gained well-rounded experience working in various roles across several hotel departments, restaurants, and special event venues, in addition to working with our local Destination Management Organization, See Monterey.

My expertise encompasses a broad range of areas including events, corporate meetings and wedding planning, group sales, conference services, catering, tradeshow logistics, marketing, reservations, and guest relations.

Throughout my career, I have collaborated with clients across the corporate, non-profit, educational, association, and government sectors, as well as countless wedding couples and social groups. I’m passionate about what I do and appreciate every chance I get to show it! Thank you for choosing to work with HERO Event Services!
