Lindsay Odenwelder joins Hyatt Place Dewey Beach sales team
The Hyatt Place Dewey Beach announced the newest addition to their growing sales team, with Lindsay Odenwelder recently joining as a sales manager. Odenwelder will oversee the booking of inside sales and procurement of new accounts. She joins the team having sales knowledge of the local resort area with a background in wedding and event planning, effectively tripling wedding bookings in her previous endeavor at the Atlantic Sands Hotel in nearby Rehoboth Beach. Also, she helped effectively procure new business in the form of corporate bookings, government and private reception business, helping to drive a growing portfolio.
Odenwelder developed her extensive experience in the catering and banquet field, having previously been a banquet manager at Wild Quail Country Club in Camden. She was responsible for obtaining new business, booking and operationally managing meetings and events by developing banquet orders and directing banquet staff. Odenwelder crafted her hospitality event management experience by previously serving as the special events manager for Dover Motor Sports at Dover International Speedway.
"We are enthused to have Lindsay join the Hyatt Place Dewey Beach team. As our property grows and we continue to develop, our ability to attract corporate business, weddings, and events will be one of the pillars to our success. Lindsay's devoted clientele and ability to form strong relationships with our partners and clients will facilitate exciting new opportunities and increase quality of service to our loyal customer base," said General Manager Keith Whisenant.
Originally from Dover, Odenwelder is a graduate of Dover High School and the University of Delaware. Currently she is living in Lewes with her husband Chad and their 1-year-old Deacon Luke. Among her outside passions are a devotion to cooking at home with her husband and traveling with family and friends to tropical regions in the Caribbean, and the Southeast coast, with Charleston, S.C., also being a favorite destination. The love for sport also fills the Odenwelder home with a devout allegiance to the Chicago Cubs and Chicago Bears, and several trips to Wrigley Field planned for the future.
