Andrea Toth, Hungary

RACKEVE, Hungary --- On most weekends you can find Andrea Toth immersed in her job as marketing, sales and banqueting manager at the Savoy Mansion Hotel, a riverside Baroque chateau in the Danube Valley about 45 km south of Budapest completed in 1722. Weekends often mean weddings at the hotel. Since she is the banqueting manager, she must also be a wedding organizer. That means not just being present and coordinating the event, but also preparing cost estimates, writing contracts, and --- last but certainly not least --- assembling and presenting the final invoice.
