Our beginnings

Our commitment to the industry

For over 25 years Jen Pike has journeyed through the hospitality industry, creating world class experiences for brides and corporate CEO’s, alike. Although she's worked up and down the California coast, she's been happily settled in the Napa Valley for over 20 years, with her husband and business partner Doug Pike. During this time, Jen has created and produced stunning events in an array of the most unique places in Northern California. 

With their combined years of experience in the industry and genuine zest for identifying wonderful settings, Jen and Doug are continually pulling in new venues that will enhance the Distinct Locations portfolio. When they are not out scouting one of a kind places and cultivating unforgettable experiences, Jen and Doug enjoy being adventurous with their three beautiful daughters creating lasting family memories.
