Meet Joanne

TELL US ABOUT YOUR ROLE:
My role involves assisting with the operation of weddings and events that are held at Blackfriars.

HOW LONG HAVE YOUR WORKED AT BLACKFRIARS?
I joined the team in June 2024

WHAT DOES A TYPICAL WORKING DAY FOR YOU LOOK LIKE?
No day is the same, one day I might be helping with some site maintenance and the next I could be working behind a bar at a wedding

WHAT HAS BEEN THE HIGHLIGHT FROM YOUR TIME AT BLACKFRIARS SO FAR?
Definitely being there to see the wedding ceremonies, it's such a special moment to be a part of.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE FEATURE OF THE PRIORY?
My favourite feature has to be the North Range, it's such a stunning and historic space to hold weddings and events.

WHAT DO YOU ENJOY DOING OUTSIDE OF WORK?
If I'm not planning my next getaway, I'm probably talking about my excitement for Christmas.

YOU’RE AT A WEDDING… WHAT SONG GETS YOU UP ON THE DANCEFLOOR?
Anything ABBA!!

IT’S A RELAXED SUNDAY AFTERNOON… WHAT FILM DO YOU POP ON?
Always a romcom, one of my favourites is Notting Hill tea.

TELL US A FUN FACT ABOUT YOURSELF:
I lived in the USA for 3 months working at a summer camp - it was just like The Parent Trap!
