Jackie Hogan, cofounder of Ginger Events, was literally born into the hospitality field. She was born in London and at age 8 the family purchased and moved into The Wooden Bridge Hotel near Avoca in County Wicklow, Ireland. The hotel had 2 ballrooms and often two weddings on any given Saturday. It was a true family run operation and little Jackie was all too happy to be in the middle of the hustle and bustle, the fancy dresses and the magic that is a part of any wedding. She was hooked from the start! Having extensively traveled throughout Europe in her aviation career, she landed in the Philly area, which she now calls “home.” She has raised 4 kids in the US and gained years of experience as an event planner at Peoples’ Light And Theater, French Creek Country Club, Downingtown Country Club, Normandy Farms Hotel, Blue Bell Country Club, and the Brandywine Valley SPCA to name just a few. She has worked so many weddings that she likes to say, “I speak bride!”
