Tania helped plan and execute my Wife's 40th birthday party. The event was for 50 people travelling from all over. She took care of all of the details and worked to set up a wonderful, intimate and fun event. All of the attendees were raving about the food and drinks. All of the staff were professional and courteous. Her excellent work definitely raised my standing in the eyes of all of my wife's friends. But after communicating with her all I needed to do was show up and have a great time with friends and family.

Details: Adult birthday party • 51 - 100 guests • I'm flexible • Cleanup • Setup • Catering • Bartending • Chairs • Chair covers • Tables • 1 - 2 months • My home, venue, etc. • Remotely (phone or internet)

Tania was incredible ! She helped plan my baby sprinkle and completely brought my vision to light! Even when we had to do a last minute venue change due to the weather, she was quick to offer excellent plan B’s and the day couldn’t have gone better/been planned so well! I will be using Tania and her team for all of my future events. Her attention to detail and professionalism is unmatched! Thank you thank you!

I worked with Tania and her team for my graduation party. From the beginning, she responded very quickly and helped me planned everything I needed for the party. Every question I had she responded right away! Tatiana, the ballon designer set up beautiful balloons, I still have them up a week later. For food, we chose the taco bar from her menu and the bartender served margaritas and mojitos. The food was so flavorful and delicious, all the guest loved it! She also made the best banana pudding I have had ever! I 10/10 recommended hiring Tania for any party planning services. She’s amazing!

Details: Graduation party • 26 - 50 guests • I'm flexible • Cleanup • Setup • Decor rental • Catering • Centerpiece(s) • Lighting • 1 - 2 months • My home, venue, etc. • Remotely (phone or internet)

It was a pleasure with Tania for our Corporate Holiday Party. She was always thinking one step ahead of everything involving the coordination in handling the food catering, decorative details, DJ, and overall arrangements of the party. The food catering was delicious and we received such great feedback from our employees regarding the food and drinks! She was highly communicative throughout the planning of the event leading up to the event date. We would love to work with her again for any future events because we're confident that she will coordinate everything smoothly with high attention to detail!

I charge a per person food cost plus FL tax. On-site services are a separate hourly charge along with any staff needed, event managers, sous chefs, servers or bartenders.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When working with a personal chef client, I'll meet with the client and go over their preferred tastes. I'll discuss expectations with them and go over food costs and service fees. When working with a catering client, I will have a site visit to the venue,discuss options and plan a menu.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I attended the professional program at the New School of Cooking, and worked for four years as a catering/event manager for one of the top catering companies in Los Angeles. We catered events for the SAG awards, LACMA, Hammer Museum, Chanel, Celebrity weddings and political fundraisers. Barack and Michelle Obama included. My background is in art,design,science and nutrition. I also provide design services (table top,flower arrangements,lighting, etc..)
