Couldn’t Have Asked for Better Service

We had an amazing experience! She was incredibly professional, attentive, and needed very little direction throughout the event. She stayed on top of everything, kept things running smoothly, and made hosting so much less stressful. It was clear she was experienced and proactive. I would absolutely hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, exceptional waitstaff!

Such a Pro

Don't hesitate to book. She showed up, jumped right in & took over. She did great with minor direction. Serving, making drinks, setup a charcuterie, ice, cleaning & more. All with a smile.

They Made the Event so much better!

We needed last minute help for a wedding reception. This team jumped right in and made the reception food look so beautiful. They had to work from a small, tight room and they knocked it out of the park. They were professional, hardworking, polite and skilled. I would hire them again and I highly recommend them to anyone.

Wedding Reception

Melissa was amazing! My husband and I needed someone to help with different things during our wedding reception. I was very worried/concerned about different things but Melissa helped calm my nerves during our call before hand and especially the day off! I left her a guide of what we needed done and she blew it all out of the water with my expectations! I definitely recommend Melissa for your event as she was outstanding and incredibly helpful!! Thanks again Melissa!!!
