Several years ago, Lisa and Christopher hosted a political event for my husband. Lisa is a such a welcoming and gracious hostess. The event centered around tables of amazing and tasty desserts that made it easy to interact with the guest in a casual and fun setting. We especially appreciated how she made everyone feel like family by opening the event with a prayer. It is a model for what all events should be.

In our many years of knowing the Zooks, nothing feels more “homey” than being with them in their beautiful home! It’s always filled with warmth and hospitality... their graciousness makes you feel like you’re part of “the family!” No stranger walks into the Zook’s home! And, their beauty in entertaining provides style and elegance! We can’t wait to get invites to the Zook’s parties. But, we never feel like we need an invite. We’re welcome anytime we knock!
