Background

About Chloe Kerlin

With nearly a decade of experience in the hospitality industry across Texas and Illinois, I've developed a strong foundation in event management, customer service, and relationship-building. My career has been driven by a passion for creating memorable experiences and ensuring every client feels valued and taken care of. As the event planner for Backyard and Bottled Blonde in Dallas, I’ve built strong relationships with local companies, DMCs, and event planners nationwide. I actively attend networking events and trade shows to stay connected and ahead of hospitality trends, ensuring my clients always get fresh, creative ideas. There's nothing I enjoy more than collaborating with clients, understanding their vision, and executing it flawlessly! My career began in Quincy, IL, where I managed Barney's, a popular local hangout that sharpened my customer service skills and love for fast-paced environments. Since moving to Dallas in 2021, I have progressed from a bartender at Backyard, to bar manager, to assistant general manager to my current role as event manager—a reflection of my strong work ethic, exceptional customer service skills, and business acumen. Having held nearly every position in a high-turnover, high-volume setting, I thrive under pressure, pivot quickly, and keep both staff and guests smiling. When I’m not working, you'll find me hanging with my beloved pit mix, Tito (yes – named after the vodka), traveling, and doing my best to stay in top shape.
