Valerie (Val) C.
Facility Manager + Venue Manager + Tour Manager
Hello, welcome to Water Oasis. I was born and raised in Oregon. I spent 5 years in Fairborn Ohio in my early 20’s. I missed the weather and rain and family in Oregon and moved back to my natural home state.
I am going on 8 years at Water Oasis during at time I am Facility Manager of the Property. I also enjoy hosting Tours to potential new clients. Plus, I work the Day Of Weddings and love being a part of the romance, decorations, and the excitement of watching a couple fulfill their dreams of getting married at the Water Oasis.
My passion is my 4 grandchildren and going on adventures and creating memories with each one.
I love going out on the boat, going on the river, and stopping at little islands to go rock hounding. Our dog Lulu loves going out on the boat with me and my husband of 35 years.
I look forward to meeting you and collaborating with you in the future!
Ally G.
Lead Venue Manager
With years of experience in the wedding industry, I bring a genuine passion for creating celebrations that feel joyful, personal, and unforgettable.
I began my career in event planning in 2017 at the university level, where I fell in love with the process of bringing meaningful moments to life—but it wasn’t until I planned my first wedding that everything truly clicked, and I knew I had found exactly where I belonged. Since then, I’ve approached each celebration with a thoughtful, detail-oriented mindset and a deep commitment to making every couple feel supported and cared for, shaped in part by my natural love of learning and staying organized.
I live happily with my husband—my college best friend turned spouse—and our two dogs and three cats. I feel incredibly fortunate to be doing this work at The Water Oasis, helping couples bring their dream weddings to life in such a beautiful setting.
Khara B.
Venue Manager
When I got married nearly 25 years ago, I fell in love with the special events industry. Admittedly a hopeless romantic, I enjoyed learning about the venues, vendors, and all the fun details so much that I hoped someday I would work in the industry. Well, much like the winding roads where I grew up in the mountains of Colorado, life took me a roundabout way, but eventually I made it! After a few years in the corporate world and several years in the non-profit world, I landed a job with a wedding planner, and then at the beginning of 2025 I joined The Water Oasis.
My college sweetheart/husband and I are just about to be empty nesters, but we’ll still have our old dog Baxter and sassy cat Babs to keep us busy, and I’m excited to do more of the things I love such as traveling, art, yoga, skiing, and tennis.
I’m thrilled to be part of The Water Oasis and your special day!
