What I Enjoy – Whitney Moffett
Whitney Moffett – Venue Owner/ Substitute Teacher…
Family: Husband Billy, daughter Charlotte, son Eli, dogs Bosa and Stoney, and seven Longhorn cattle.
How long have you lived in the North State? Just over three years in Red Bluff after growing up in Vacaville.
What do you enjoy most about living in the North State?
The people, without question. This community truly looks out for one another and values connection over competition. I’ve never experienced anything like it. We’re also incredibly fortunate to live among such natural beauty, with places like Mount Shasta and Lassen right in our backyard.
If your wedding venue could talk, would you want it to tell funny behind-the-scenes stories or heartfelt moments it’s witnessed? Having a wedding venue, we see it all, and I mean we see everything, but I think the heartfelt moments. We witness first looks, private letters, emotional vows and quiet exchanges that happen away from the crowd. Those moments go far beyond a big celebration, and we’re grateful for the relationships we continue to build with the families who marry here.
Would you rather give up your phone for a weekend or your favorite food for a month? As much as I love food, I don’t think I could go without my phone for that long. We have two kids who are always going in different directions between sports, 4H and community events. My husband is gone multiple days out of the week for work and I am always getting calls for the venue or for things related to my board member duties.
What’s something small that instantly puts you in a good mood? Turning down our driveway. I’m still in awe of where we live and grateful to call this place home.
What’s one thing you’re really good at that most people don’t know about? I used to play basketball growing up and my husband hates that I can still beat him in a game of HORSE.
What’s a simple pleasure you never get tired of? Morning coffee on the back patio while watching our cattle graze, with Mount Shasta and Mount Lassen in view.
If you could spend the day with anyone living or deceased for one day, who would it be and why? I would spend the day with my Grandma Barbara (my dad’s mom), who passed away just before I was born. I often think about how things would be different if she was here. I would do anything to meet her and for her to meet her grandchildren.
What’s something you own that you absolutely did not need – but would buy again? Our fifth-wheel trailer. We’ve made some of our best family memories camping.
A pause button or a rewind button for everyday life? I’d rather have a pause button and live in the moment. My husband and I both come from amazing families who have surrounded us with love throughout our lives. As our kids continue to get older, I wish time would just slow down. We are very social people and love to have a good time, but sometimes it is all a blur.
If you could have a superpower, what would it be? While I take tremendous pride in my customer service and anticipating the needs of wedding couples, families and their guests, it would be great to be able to read minds. Not only would it help me run my business, but navigate my kids as they approach their teenage years.
