Meet Kim

Proprietress & Director of Events

Kim is the fun-loving lead proprietress of The Estate at River Run and owner of Kim Moody Design, who balances life as a mother, wife, and boss lady all wrapped into one smart business gal. Kim created Kim Moody Design out of the simple love of a good party. She is a master of many trades, a collector of knowledge, and wise beyond her years. Kim is a mentor to many and a firm believer that family is the most important thing in life. She is always up for an adventure and the lake is her happy place. Her calm nature brings you instant peace, and her strong will can, and has, made the impossible happen.

Kim's Master's Degree in Conflict Transformation with an emphasis in Negotiation has given her a very specialized niche in the wedding industry. She has spoken at national wedding conferences across the United States for audiences as large as 3,000 event professionals. She has a wall full of diplomas and educational certificates and is constantly enrolling herself in something to continue learning and growing as an individual!

In addition to all she does, Kim works devotedly as an advocate for the wedding industry. At the national level, Kim is a member of the Live Events Coalition - a network of 12 million live events professionals across the United States. Within the State of Virginia, Kim served as the Advisor to the President of VOWS, the Virginia Organization of Wedding Standards. As a founding charter member, Kim worked alongside VOWS to actively lobby for the wedding industry in its recovery from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Although very business-minded, Kim lets her vibrant and contagious personality shine through! When she isn’t working, you will find her having a blast at the lake. She values the weekends at Lake Gaston with her son, daughter, husband, and lake-loving friends. You’ll find her swimming, boating and hanging on the dock in the sunshine. Who said a boss lady couldn’t have a little fun?
