Brittany Welch is a former softball coach and teacher turned grazing table goddess. After years of making charcuterie boards for her own enjoyment, a friend asked her to create a grazing table for a birthday party. She was thrilled to have the opportunity to impress her friend’s guests and set to work crafting a delicious and beautiful experience. Brittany jokes that as she set up for the party, she had “a drink in one hand and meat and cheese in the other.” With her hands full, the idea to start Boards by B was born. 

When Brittany started Boards by B, she was still teaching, but had stopped coaching in an attempt to take something off her plate. She’s well aware of the irony – she took off coaching and added on the responsibility of growing a business! Her first year building Boards by B was full of growth and learning experiences. Brittany says she learned so much about herself, business, perseverance, and grit during that first year. 

The business recently celebrated its one year anniversary, and Brittany now makes charcuterie, breakfast, and themed boards, fruit platters, and grazing tables full time. She also hosts interactive workshops to help charcuterie lovers make their own delicious boards at home. Regarding her transition from education to entrepreneurship, Brittany says, “Being able to devote more time and energy to BBB has been amazing! It is my passion and my dream, and it’s surreal to see how it’s grown since day one. I still get chills thinking about how I get to do this full time now!”

Brittany prides herself on her attention to detail. Whether she’s creating a board for a corporate event or a grazing table for a wedding, her goal is to provide clients and their guests with an amazing experience. She wants every bite from the boards and tables she creates to be unforgettable.

She brings the same level of creativity and heart to her workshops. They’re designed to be informative, fun, delicious, and one-of-a-kind. Brittany says they’re perfect for private events, too. Whether you’re hosting a bachelorette party or looking for a fun team-building activity for your company, Brittany can design a workshop sure to please.
