We will take care of everything!
We are qualified, experienced, responsible, reliable, friendly. My staff is all trained in high end restaurants and catering companies. We are here to make sure you can relax, enjoy your party, and mingle with your guests. With us working your party, you won't have to worry about anything, we will take care of everything! Everything.
*I also have liquor liability insurance, so you can trust you’re in good hands. I can provide you with an insurance certificate for your event if you need it for the venue. I am also Tips Certified and am ServSafe certified.
*My insurance does not cover "selling" alcohol or providing a cash bar.
.While I can help you purchase your liquor for your event, I cannot sell alcohol on the premises or provide a cash bar.
My team and I work independently and with caterers, chefs, and event planners. We can come to your home and heat up food and pass appetizers and set up at buffet for your cocktail party, or we can come to your hall and bartend, serve a sit down dinner, set up, and clean up. We do it all ~ and beyond. I work with the same small staff year round. We are a great team. We make you feel at home at your home; we leave your space cleaner than it was before we got there. We even take out the trash and recycling and will bring to your garage or dumpster. *However, If a venue needs you to remove your trash after an event and take it with you, unfortunately that is not a service we are able to provide.
