Our bartenders for our reception were absolutely incredible. Total lives of the party and everyone loved them. They worked so quick, never had a line but never made you feel rushed. Dominique and Anje elevated the night, felt like friends were behind the bar, they always were looking out for me and my wife, to check in, drop a shot on our table, literally everything was perfect.

Hiring Jackie was without a doubt the best decision we made in our entire wedding planning process. We had already booked some of our vendors before finding her and she stepped in to effortlessly take care of all logistics and coordination. Jackie was incredibly responsive throughout the whole process and had great recommendations to make our day just how we envisioned. On the day of the wedding, she arrived early and went above and beyond in coordination and making sure everything went seamlessly, even ironing my wedding dress last minute. Looking back, we can’t imagine how we would have managed without her. Jackie’s help allowed us to enjoy every aspect of our wedding and truly made it better than we could have imagined.

Jackie IS IT! We had a non traditional wedding. We turned our engagement party into a surprise wedding and Jackie and her team rocked it. They went above and beyond in making us feel taken care of. And we appreciated it so much. Jackie is professional and has her stuff together! We highly recommend Jackie and her staff. Thank you team! - Rachel & Wendell

I hired Jackie for my Christmas Party of 25 guest. Jackie showed up on time and was dressed in uniform. She was very professional and friendly! She found her way around my kitchen very quickly and did not need direction of what to do. It was obvious that Jackie knew what she was doing from start to finish! I was able to enjoy the evening with my guests! Jackie was wonderful! I highly recommend Jackie and will be using her services again!

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Most of my work comes from experiences, although I am fully licensed and insured. I own a catering business & have a food manager certification.

I have also taken many floral design courses as well as multiple online event planning seminars & workshops.
