Mary Jane Marie Event Services provided two of the most amazing staff members for my husband’s retirement celebration. They arrived on time, dressed professionally, and were ready to work. They helped with setup, served food to more than 110 guests, kept everything running smoothly, and broke down the entire food station at the end of the evening. Their support made such a difference, and I truly could not have had such a successful event without them. They were professional, dependable, hardworking, and an absolute pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Mary Jane Marie Event Services. A++++ superior service!
Details: Special event / party • 101 - 150 guests

I reserved an intimate chef experience for my husband's birthday, which was a great experience. Samantha and I communicated for some time to ensure the menu was as desired. The food was exceptional. Samantha has an engaging personality and is professional. She conducted all the services as illustrated in the contract. I will consider this experience for future engagements.

Girls night was a total success because she was the party! She made a vibe really good and relaxed and she’s willing to work with you or anything that you need far as prices or anything to make your day beautiful! She’s not afraid of a challenge so ask her anything she can make it happen.
