Certified Executive Chef
Hassan A. Mohamed CEC
My name is Hassan A. Mohamed, and I am an accomplished Certified Executive Chef at Beau Truesdale Wedding Venues. While my educational background initially led me to pursue a degree in accounting from Al Azhar University in Cairo, I soon discovered my true calling in the world of culinary arts during my time in Italy. I had the pleasure of traveling across Europe and immersing myself in the study of classic delicacies and cuisine. These experiences, coupled with my dedication and passion for the culinary arts, led me to become a Certified Executive Chef through the esteemed American Culinary Federation.
Since joining Beau Truesdale Wedding Venues in 1999, I have enjoyed sharing my culinary expertise with countless guests on their special occasions. Drawing inspiration from my international culinary adventures and delightful Caribbean cruises, I take immense pride in curating a spectacular cocktail hour. I firmly believe in instilling the values of classic techniques and emphasizing scratch food preparation to my team, ensuring that every culinary creation is unique, memorable, and of the highest quality for weddings.
I consider it a great honor to meet with each couple, taking the time to understand their individual needs and desires, including preferences for ethnic cuisine and special dietary requirements. My ultimate goal is to transport guests into a world of luxury and culinary excellence, allowing them to indulge in an unforgettable experience that will be cherished forever on their special wedding day.
General Manager
Jackie Truesdale
Born and raised at the Jersey Shore and a proud Sea Girt Patriot for life. I attended Loyola University Maryland before dedicating seven years of my career to teaching in Jersey City. I was honored to be named Teacher of the Year for the 2019–2020 school year.
Those who know me well have dubbed me the “Jac of all trades,” which is fitting because I have worked in my family’s business in various roles for as long as I can remember. My knowledge of and love for the wedding industry are truly homegrown. I have always had a passion for party planning, and as one of seven children, every family dinner feels like a party! I especially love a good theme.
When I’m not helping our team create exceptional wedding experiences, you’ll find me spending time with my husband, our daughter and son, and our golden retriever, Hunter.
Fun Fact: I love going to Vermont to snowboard and ride my dirt bike.
