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, Amazon, Windermere, 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.

Marshanell and her team is amazing. They helped us for an event with over 500ppl in attendance. The service was very smooth and very professionally managed. We got great feedback from the attendees that this time around, the event was much better and coordinated very well. We hope to partner with her again and again!

Marshanell and her team helped us to pull together a 2000 person event for corporate in less than a month and it was extremely successful. She has great relationships with awesome vendors which make it seamless, she thinks of all the details that you need to cover, and her staff was so helpful day of.

I had the pleasure of working alongside Ready and Able Event Services for a large event, and I cannot say enough great things about Marshanell and her team. From start to finish, everything was incredibly well organized, and communication was always clear, timely, and professional. Coordinating a large event requires attention to detail and strong leadership, and Marshanell handled it seamlessly. Her team was prepared, efficient, and genuinely wonderful to work with. Every aspect of the event flowed smoothly because of their planning and coordination. I would highly recommend Marshanell and her team to anyone looking for exceptional catering and event coordination services. It was truly a pleasure collaborating with them, and I look forward to working together again in the future.

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.
