How It All Began
Rooted in Passion, Driven by Purpose
Nicole Spooner began her love affair with fine food and restaurants while growing up in New England. She moved to Central Florida in 1997 and it’s here, in the Orlando community, where her love of the culinary and hospitality industry quickly became a fundamental part of her life.
Recognizing Orlando as a city with big aspirations and small town values, she embraced the significance of personal relationships and exceptional service. With love for not only food and hospitality, Nicole adores the community she lives in and has become passionate about supporting its local businesses.
That passion has driven her career path to a 27-year journey in sales and marketing. Nicole has honed her skills in business consultation, curating creative marketing campaigns, event management, print publishing and detailed market analysis. Her focus lies in empowering local businesses, leveraging personal and professional relationships with key figures in Orlando's media landscape, lifestyle personalities and esteemed restaurant and local business owners.
Beyond her professional pursuits, Nicole is an avid home cook, believing that some of life’s best memories are made in the kitchen. Her love for her family (and her Shorkie, Bella), is paramount and she enjoys traveling with her husband, and daughter.
Nicole’s commitment to her community extends beyond her career. She serves as Co-Chair for TASTE! Central Florida, benefitting The Second Harvest Food Bank and Coalition for the Homeless. She has also served on the committee for the Orlando Cattle Baron's Ball, the Gourmet Soirée, which benefitted Florida Hospital for Children’s Mission fit POSSIBLE PROGRAM; Orlando’s Taste of the Nation for No Kid Hungry, A. Jones Family Foundation’s Orlando Princess Ball, Jack in the Park, a fundraiser for Special Olympics Florida and the local Annual Children's Adoption Carnival.
Nicole exemplifies the perfect balance of professional success, culinary passion, and a commitment to making a positive impact within her community. Her dedication to supporting local businesses and charitable causes reflects her genuine love for both her family and her community, creating a legacy of kindness, charitable endeavors and success.
