About
Picture this: You’re hosting the event of the year — a wedding, a milestone birthday, a crucial corporate gathering. You've poured your heart into every detail: the venue, the food, the ambiance. But there’s one element that can truly make or break the experience — the service. As the host, you want to be present. You want to enjoy the moment, mingle with your guests, and create lasting memories — not worry about lukewarm drinks, missed cues, or servers who seem disengaged. You want a team you can trust, so your only job is to celebrate. Hi, I’m Lissa, founder and operator of Events by Lissa. After decades in the hospitality industry, I’ve seen it all — the late nights, the underpaid talent, the make-it-work chaos behind the scenes. But I’ve also seen what’s possible when skilled, motivated professionals are treated with fairness and respect. That’s what sets us apart. At Events by Lissa, we’ve built a team of experienced servers, bartenders, and restaurant managers who currently work in some of Arizona’s best restaurants — and they’re eager to bring that same energy, care, and expertise to your event. Here’s our secret: I work with very little overhead, which means I’m able to generously compensate our staff — and that makes all the difference. When servers feel valued, they show up — fully. They're attentive, professional, and proactive. They smile, anticipate needs, and elevate the atmosphere. This isn’t just a feel-good policy — it’s a smart business strategy that directly benefits you and your guests. So if you want to feel confident, relaxed, and proud of the experience you're giving your guests — check out our photos, read our reviews, and let’s make your event unforgettable.

Very Professional, exceptional service , value for money. She was on time , Prompt response before the party , gave an extensive list since I was buying my own liquors , mixers and juices. On the day of the party she was on time, I had requested her to be an hour earlier and she was very accommodating. Came on time and did an amazing setup. The drinks were amazing and she had all the garnishments.

The two gentlemen who worked our event were pleasant and polite and kept their workspace neat and orderly. They treated the children who came for sodas and Kool-Aid with just as much respect as the adults. They ran drinks to tables and were prompt and efficient. I would hire these guys again!

I recently hired Lisa for a small company holiday gathering. Both my employers and I were beyond impressed with her exceptional service! From start to finish, she went above and beyond. She was super polite, friendly and treated all our guests with a smile and welcoming attitude. Not only did she deliver top-notch bartending skills, she also took the initiative to set up a separate table for the food, which was an unexpected and much-appreciated touch. Lisa's attention to detail, kindness, and positive attitude was a PLUS to the overall experience. She was professional, efficient, and genuinely cared about making the event comfortable and memorable for everyone. I wouldn't hesitate to hire Lisa from "Events by Lisa" again and would happily recommend her services to anyone looking for an outstanding bartender. She was truly a pleasure to work with! <3/ Maria with Sapphire Media Group
