Introduction

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.

Marshanell and Bea were amazing. So easy to work with. Marshanell takes pride in her work and in her team and it shows. They are top notch. We had them come in for an in-office happy hour and dinner, and we will be hiring them again. If you are wavering between vendors, you can't go wrong with Ready and Able!

Having Ready and Able on site during our event made everything so much easier. The staff were on top of every detail and really made a difference. We were able to enjoy our guests and party rather than being busy doing all the work.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Usually, 1.5-2 hours are needed before the event begins for setup. This time is added to the duration of the event. Also, normally 2-3 people are needed, but this depends on the number of guests.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When I get a new customer, I find out more about them. I ask questions to find out what their desires are for their special events, and I do my best to fulfill these desires. My goal is to make sure that the clients are happy, and make sure that the event is a success!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a food handling certificate, and I have received training from various chefs and waitstaff for over 25 years.
