About
I have been in the waitstaff/planning industry for more than 30 years. A few of the places that I have work include: Halas Hall (Bears headquarters), Knollwood Country Club, Eaglewood Country Club, Friendship Village, UW, and numerous private clients and corporate events. One thing that makes my company stand out is our attention to details. I make sure that everything is done specifically as requested, because I want to ensure your satisfaction. We try to anticipate the next tasks so that the hosts can enjoy their guests and their event. Our reviews speak to our high level of service. Whether small or large, all events get our complete attention as we execute every detail. I enjoy meeting new people and being able to assist them with their special occasions. Weddings are our specialty from grass roots (DIY) to an extremely fancy coorodinated affair. I love seeing all the plans come together, where everyone gets to witness the "final successful production"! I also enjoy brain storming new ideas with my clients as we plan their events, because this enables us to continue to increase what we can offer clients as we continue to grow our company.

Absolutely phenomenal! Marshanelle was great from the first message. Her team know what they are doing and so it efficiently and with professionalism. Our daughters wedding reception would not have been what it was without them. Highly recommended.

Working with Marshanell was an absolute pleasure. She is organized, responsive, and brings a calm, steady presence to every step of the planning process. Her communication was clear, timely, and made it easy for all vendors to work together smoothly. Because of her coordination, the event came together beautifully — every detail felt intentional, and the corporate team was genuinely thrilled with the results. Marshanell made sure everyone had what they needed and kept the entire day running effortlessly. I would happily work with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a professional, detail-oriented event planner who truly cares about creating a seamless experience.

As a day-of coordinator for a lot of DIY weddings, it was a joy to work with Marshanell and her Ready and Able team. Hiring her event staff really is the difference between a good event and a great one. There was clear, efficient communication before and during the event and there was not one thing that Marshanell said she or her team would do that wasn't done and it was done to perfection. I hope I have the chance to work with them again and will be recommending them to my future couples.
