- Brianna PayneDirector of Catering & EventsI’ve been part of the Capt. Hirams family for over 16 years, and it’s been an amazing journey. I’ve had the chance to work in just about every corner of the property, starting in food and beverage, moving through hotel operations, and eventually landing in my current role as Catering Director.
