Tammi Shepard-Seay
Hello and welcome! I am the owner and founder of Velvet Pour LLC. I am a single-mom with over a decade in the hospitality industry as well as a decade in the corporate world. I have a bachelor degree in Human Services and a deep passion for people and creating connections. After years of the 9-5 lifestyle, I desired to do work that felt meaningful and exciting. I set out on this journey to teach my daughter that we can do hard things and make our dreams come to life! When I'm not at an event for Velvet Pour, you can find me salsa dancing, enjoying local coffee and dining in our beautiful city of Tampa, or spending time with my best friend and our two daughters. My favorite drink of choice is a bold glass of Cabernet-Sauvignon. I can't wait to serve you and your guests and create a remarkable experience your guests will rave about for years to come! Cheers!
Amanda
Hello everyone! My name is Amanda and I am a single-mom and a full-time therapist as a licensed clinical social worker. When I am not with my clients or with my Velvet Pour family, you will likely see me salsa dancing, at the gym, or spending time with my best friend and our two daughters. My favorite drink of choice is a smoked Old-Fashioned. I look forward to serving you and making your big day a hit! Cheers!
Amy
Hi there! My name is Amy and I have over 10 years of experience in bartending and hospitality in various cities such as Miami, Washington D.C., Montreal, and Turks & Caicos. I am a dance instructor, teaching salsa, bachata, and zouk. When I'm not serving with Velvet Pour or teaching, you can find me on the dance floor at a latin social with my students, traveling, or spending time with friends at the beach. My drink of choice is a classic margarita. I look forward to serving you on your special day! Cheers!
