Meet The Staff
Stafford and Christy Houston, the Owners
They are no strangers to the event venue business. They’ve also owned the Gin at Nesbit wedding venue since 2018. In 2022, they purchased the Bonne Terre property and decided they were up for the challenge of tackling a wedding venue and inn all in one. Christy runs the wedding side of Bonne Terre. Any tour and meeting about the venue, she’s the one you’ll contact! Stafford is in the background of running every aspect, keeping Bonne Terre up to the highest standard. “We’re so happy to give back to the community as a small local business!”
Emmy Houston
Manager of all lodgings on property. After graduating from the University of Memphis with a business administration degree, she jumped at the opportunity of joining in the family business and using her teachings.
“My goal is to make Bonne Terre feel like a home to everyone like it feels like home to me.”
Heather Scallorn
House Keeping: She’s the one you’ll be seeing while staying on property, making sure everything is clean and up to par! She’ll always be around in the mornings to make breakfast for the guests and offer a friendly smile.
Dawn Edwards
Venue Manager: With decades of wedding and event planning under her belt, she definitely understands what makes a great event! She’s the day of venue manager for events; there to help with your questions, restocking bathrooms, etc. Also, she’ll double as your bartender at the event!
Marilyn Gonzalez
Venue Manager: She’s also a day off venue manager and bartender. Working as a venue manager for years she’s on top of her stuff! If you need anything the day of your wedding, she’s always a friendly face to spot that will make your event all the better!
