Meet the Catering Team

Desiree Tapping

DIRECTOR OF CATERING

Desiree was born and raised right here in Conroe, Texas. After high school, Desiree moved to the big city of Houston to attend the University of Houston College of Hotel and Restaurant Management, Conrad N. Hilton College, where she received a bachelors degree in Hotel and Restaurant Management.

Desiree then went on to have a successful career with Omni Hotels for 13 years, where she specialized in Marketing, PR and Catering Sales. She had always dreamed of returning to her hometown one day, and hoped the right hospitality job would come along with it. Desiree always believed that the lake is what truly makes Conroe so special, so when the opportunity came along to become the Director of Catering at the very first Margaritaville Resort in Texas on Lake Conroe, she was beyond excited and thrilled. It has truly been this little girl’s dream come true to be back in her hometown, on beautiful Lake Conroe!
