Kathryn Vinson
EVENT EXECUTIVE
Location: Columbia
I grew up in Radford, Virginia and moved to Columbia, South Carolina in 2021 to attend the University of South Carolina, where I majored in Risk Management & Insurance. After graduation, I moved to Charlotte to begin my career in the insurance industry, but it didn’t take me long to realize it wasn’t the right fit!
I joined the Southern Way team in February 2026, and I truly couldn’t imagine doing anything else. One of my favorite parts of this company is the opportunity to work alongside such an incredible team while building relationships with clients and vendors and helping bring events to life. Whether it’s a wedding, corporate event, graduation party, or something intimate, I love being even a small part of moments that people will remember for years to come!
No two days are ever the same, which is one of the things I love most about this industry. There’s always something new to learn and opportunities to grow. Seeing the smiles on our clients’ faces and knowing we played a role in making their event special is what makes this work so rewarding! While I love being onsite for events, I also enjoy the creative side of the process from designing menus to coordinating details behind the scenes.
Outside of work, you can usually find me spending time with friends and family, taking trips to Charleston, or going on long walks!
