Kim Bates

Venue Manager – Aldie Mansion

Since joining the JAM team in 1999, I’ve had the privilege of combining my passion for event planning with my role as a Sales Manager and Event Designer. Meeting new people is one of the highlights of my week, and I thrive on helping clients bring their wedding visions to life. With 25 years of experience planning weddings for Jeffrey Miller Catering, I’m continually amazed by the joy and creativity that unfolds during each event.

Family is my heart—I’m blessed with two beautiful daughters and three wonderful grandchildren. In my free time, I enjoy kayaking, working out, and spending time at the shore. I love watching sunsets and sunrises, as well as birdwatching and traveling.

Working at JAM Hospitality Group has been a true pleasure. If you’re looking for meticulous attention to detail, fresh and delicious food, and unparalleled atmospheres, a JAM venue is the perfect choice for your next event!

If you could have dinner with anyone dead or alive, who would it be? 

Walt Disney. He was such a visionary, I’m sure the conversation would be fun.
