Introduction
Hello, Check me out on my web page at HELPING HANDS BY JAMIE LLC. Please read some of my REVIEWS before anything else & know my rate is $40/45 hr before gratuity. Rate goes up on holidays & holiday weekends & for Mixologists Master Grillers & Chefs. Now also offering a DJ & photo booth based on avaibility. You won't be disappointed with my service. I'm fortunate & grateful for my wonderful team that make up HELPING HANDS. My name is Jamie Lueddeke Critchley. I work as a party hostess at your home, venue, or park. I can greet your guests, hang coats, offer drinks, heat & pass hors d`oeuvres, heat food, set up buffet or plate up meals, serve food, get coffee & desserts ready, keep an eye out for debris, look after powder room, store leftovers & clean up. I also do a little grilling. I do have Grill Masters I work with as well as Bartenders & Chefs. Ive also been practicing charcuterie boards. If it's a self-serve bar, I would open wines, cut fruit, refill ice, make simple drinks, etc... I will say my business stands out as I know what the next steps are to running a party/wedding where timing may be important if you are renting a venue for a certain amount of hours, or if you have guests that will be ready to leave at a certain time & may be looking for coffee & dessert or something along those lines. Also, for the timing of a sit-down meal, I am very familiar with running wedding receptions as far as intros, toasts, cake cutting & such... I worked banquets for 10 years at a venue in my neighborhood & was captain there for 6 years. That is where most of my knowledge came from. The bottom line is I would do what you would do if I wasn`t there. My main job is to let you relax & have fun with your guests & I do the rest. You`d be a guest in your own home! Its nice that you can go to bed & wake up with a clean kitchen. My staff of servers & bartenders are experienced & some listed in my reviews as well. **4 hour minimum** I can provide 10 wire chafing racks if you need, along with gold serving utensils. I also have a few platters & cake risers. Let me know before your event.Also, I have 25 white chair covers with black belt & black napkins as well.

I hired Jamie for a 90 person surprise birthday party. She arrived punctually with a colleague and the two of them were incredibly professional, efficient, and creative throughout the 7 hours of setting up, servicing the party, and cleaning up. It is clear they are pros because they completed tasks that I wouldn’t even think to do with flawless timing. Their set up for the buffet and dessert stations was also so beautiful and creative. The party would have been such a mess without them. Helping Hands is more than worth it. They knew exactly what to do, when, with minimal to no instruction, in the most thoughtful way possible.

Details: Birthday party • 51 - 100 guests • Setup / cleanup • Operate buffet • Clear / bus plates

I had the pleasure of hiring the services of Helping Hands for my daughter's baby shower this past weekend. From the moment I arrived, it was clear that Jamie and Erica were dedicated to providing excellent service to my guests. From setting up the buffet and tables, to arranging the bar area, they went above and beyond. Both ladies were passionate about their jobs, and truly cared about ensuring that everything went according to plans. Jamie and Erica made excellent suggestions when I was feeling a little overwhelmed, and made everything look beautiful at the venue. I was extremely impressed with their service, and would highly recommend Helping Hands to anyone.

Details: Special event / party • 51 - 100 guests • 2-4 • Operate buffet • Setup / cleanup

Jamie and her work partner were a Godsend! The party ran smoothly because of them. They were so professional, so friendly and extremely helpful. They understood how a party should go. I will definitely recommend them to my friends and we will be calling them in the future. We are so happy with their level of service.
