OUR PHILOSOPHY and approach
Erica and Phillip Mayfield’s dream of Briar Rose began the moment they set foot on their East Texas property. What started as Rose Hill Catering to share their love for service quickly grew into a full-time business, inspiring them to create a venue that offers everything couples need in one beautiful location. Erica has over ten years of experience in catering and hospitality, along with a background as a school counselor and teacher. After working as a private chef for dinner parties and small weddings, she transitioned into full-time catering and wedding planning, driven by her love for feeding others and helping couples create their dream weddings. Erica is also a certified wedding planner and designer. Phillip has a diverse background, from Sports Medicine to serving as President and COO of multiple companies, always rooted in a passion for service. He’s mastered grilling and BBQ through hands-on experience with top BBQ experts and continues to refine his craft. Phillip is also an ordained officiant.
