Eliza Hamilton – Executive Associate/ Special Projects Liaison

Having joined the team in 2016, Eliza is the newest member of the

Crown Point Catering Family. Often your first point of contact, she truly enjoys getting to know you and hearing what you have in mind.

Born on the northern coast of Maine, she developed a love for gardening and berry picking at a very young age – while standing on a chair in her grandmother’s kitchen they worked together turning the freshly picked treasures into scrumptious pies and baked goods.

She has shared her love of gardening with her husband and young son and they now tend to an ever growing home garden and berry batch here in sunny Crown Point.
