Meet Oukham Vilaysaeng
Being a hotel, spa and restaurant means we have a lot of different departments. Food & Beverage, Kitchen, Housekeeping, Sales, Marketing, Human Resources, Financing – the list goes on. While we all work together in some capacity, there are very few people who can say they work closely with each department. Oukham is one of…

Meet Shoushig Segian

It can be easy to lose sight of the good, but Shoushig Segian is a perfect example of someone who always looks for the good in everything, despite the hard times she has experienced. Shoushig has been…

Meet Nicole Bom
Before the pandemic, a lot of us were go, go, go. Despite its challenges and devastations, for many people it gave an unprecedented chance to “reset.” Now that life is seemingly getting back to normal, we’re trying to navigate what normal is. Living in the moment, taking chances and embracing change are all “normal” things,…

Meet Laura Griffiths
Our Front Desk staff is knowledgeable, yes. More importantly, they’re personable and this is what keeps people coming back. Laura Griffiths, who has been working at our Front Desk for a little over 6 months, is the perfect representation of this. “If there’s one thing I’m thankful the universe gave me, it’s the ‘gift of the gab,’” laughs Laura.

Meet Sommelier Emily Kirsch
Langdon Hall is unique, especially when it comes to wine. Not many places can say they have 1,400 wines from around the world, nor can they say they have a dedicated team of Sommeliers – including Emily Kirsch. “Most places if you’re a sommelier, you also serve or manage,” explains Emily. “At Langdon, we have…

Meet Sous Chef, David Couse
When you think of Langdon Hall, one of the first things that may come to mind is the food. The way the dishes look, and more importantly how they taste, is an experience all in its own. The food at Langdon Hall is meant to tell a story, with pieces of the property encompassed both…

Meet our Head Gardener: Jeremy Gehl
If you’ve been to Langdon Hall, you’ve had the pleasure of walking the property or touring the gardens. Even if you’ve never set foot here, you’ve probably heard of the gardens and the magic they bring. The gardens play a special role in every aspect of Langdon Hall. They’re part of the food you eat, the drinks you enjoy and the displays you marvel at throughout the grounds or at an event.
