Claire Courrage
Events Coordinator, Ruffino’s on the River
Claire Courrage’s journey at Ruffino’s began before the restaurant even opened, when a friend encouraged her to apply. Over the years, she has worked her way from back waiter to Events Coordinator, where she now plays a key role in shaping Ruffino’s most memorable celebrations.
For Claire, event planning is deeply personal. She understands that every wedding, birthday, and milestone moment is special, and she takes pride in ensuring every detail reflects the guest’s vision. She also values Ruffino’s strong sense of community—it’s where she met her husband, Gavin, making the restaurant a part of their own love story.
Claire’s passion for hospitality shines through in everything she does, from customizing menus to creating thoughtful, personal touches. With her leadership, Ruffino’s continues to be a destination where life’s greatest moments are celebrated in unforgettable ways.
