WM Events Event Planner + Designer Candel Fisher knows what she likes, and that list – and every day – starts with two Venti Starbucks — one iced, one hot, one with an extra shot. Although she’s a big fan of lunchtime Chick-fil-A, she’s happiest when drenched – in sweat, from working out. Candel she also enjoys returning to nature back home in Arkansas and likes interacting with the WM Events team so much, she prefers being in the office to working from home. Her go-go attitude (and maybe the coffee) recently drove her to earn CPCE designation – that’s the Certified Professional in Catering and Events title from NACE (National Association for Catering & Events).
