Treat yourself to memorable

Alexus “Lexi” Pender
Event Manager/ InnKeeper
It’s a pleasure to be a part of this amazing team, we have here at Richwood. I’ve been a part of this team since 2019. My duties here include being an Events Manager/ Innkeeper.
I love the opportunities I have been given, to be able to work all the different events. It’s a blessing to be able to meet with everyone and to be able to make their day very special! We look forward to seeing you, and to help in any way possible!
I have lived in Trimble county almost all of my life. I am in my 20’s currently getting a degree in visual communications mainly focusing on graphic design at Ivy Tech Community College. I am a lover of animals, art, and flowers!

Colleen Sutton
Owner/Operator
Being the owner/operator for Richwood on the River is a dream come true. A wonderful friend said to me during this process, “If your dreams don’t scare you, then you are not dreaming BIG enough!” I hold on to those words daily. Thanks Tania!
I hope to inspire my daughter, Ava Rose, to fully understand to follow her dreams and to always do what truly makes her happy. The money will follow. Hearing the laughter in the walls of the mansion from guests enjoying the warmth of a fire and the love of family and friends … is exactly what my hopes were and are for this property.
I love sharing my home with you and hope to have my small part in creating memories that will last a lifetime.

Kelsey Spence
Event Manager/ InnKeeper
Kelsey Spence (Stenger) was born and raised in a small town in Southeastern Indiana. A graduate of Johnson & Wales University in Charlotte, NC, she majored in baking and pastry arts with a concentration in event management. While in school, she took courses in wedding planning and special events and immediately fell in love with the industry.
Kelsey met Colleen in 2015 after she moved back to Indiana and began assisting Colleen with weddings for her business Ava Rose Event Design. That October Colleen purchased Richwood and Kelsey was more than happy to join the team.Fast forward to 2018- Kelsey got married (at Richwood of course) and moved to the Cincinnati area to be closer to her husband’s job. She left her position at Richwood and started working in downtown Cincy. However, she missed working with all of our amazing wedding couples and guests, and decided to return! She has now resumed her role as Event & Social Manager and couldn’t be more thrilled to be back with her Richwood family and friends.
Colleen is amazing at her job, and made our day beyond special.
