Hassan A. Mohamed CEC
My name is Hassan A. Mohamed, and I am an accomplished Certified Executive Chef at Clarks Landing 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 Clarks Landing 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.

I was honored to earn Teacher of the Year 2019-2020. Those who know me well have dubbed me “Jac of all trades”. My knowledge of and love for the wedding industry is homegrown – my family has been in the business for many years. For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a passion for party planning. Being one of seven children, every dinner is a party! (I LOVE a good theme party.)
When I’m not helping our team deliver exceptional wedding experiences, you’ll find me spending time with family and my golden retriever, Hunter.
