After college, Zach managed several different restaurant concepts, before finding his way back to the family business full time. he is excited to be a part of Mezzanine’s continued growth and is looking forward to expanding on what Mezzanine has to offer.

Brittany Brailsford
A Seacoast native, Brittany traces her love of cooking and creating to her Grandmother’s kitchen. She still recalls fond memories from watching her cook family dinners and even getting to help her with some of her special treats.

It is important to Victoria that her clients feel listened to; she gives very careful time and attention to each wedding, ensuring that all catering expectations are exceeded when the special day arrives.

Bethany Connell
Growing up, locally on the seacoast of NH, Bethany lived a mile from the beach and spent hours outdoors, as a kid, playing in the sand. Summer is still her favorite season!
Upon graduating from UNH, with a dual degree in English and Early Childhood Education, Bethany taught Kindergarten for 5 years before she and husband, Josh, started their family. While she stayed home to raise their three children, she kept busy, by nannying, tutoring and completing her Master’s in Education.
In mid-2021, Bethany joined Mezzanine as event staff, working weddings on weekends, and quickly discovered how much she loved working with the team! When an administrative position came up, she jumped at the chance to play a larger role in the company. Bethany brings strong communication and grammar skills to the team as well as a willingness to help in any way, when needed.
When not “on the clock”, Bethany enjoys baking, a nice glass of wine, and not being in charge of ‘what’s for dinner’. As she loves the summer, her favorite things to do are visiting the lake or ocean, nature walks and eating ice cream with her husband and three children, Ava, Jonah and Tessa.
