Jennifer was extremely responsive and did an excellent job keeping me informed about every step needed. She ended up sending Sophie out as the actual bartender and she was excellent. What started out as a marriage proposal event, ended up being an engagement party. Sophie was willing to help in any way to make it memorable for my guest and they all bragged about her skills and professionalism. I will definitely be using them for the actual wedding. Great job!!!

As a host, if you want to enjoy your time at an event versus working yourself to a frazzle, you need to hire Jenn @ The Next Generation. Jenn made things so easy for my daughter’s bridal shower….from bartending to refilling food trays to washing dishes. My home was spotless when she left. The crowd loved her & you will too. I will definitely hire Jenn again!

We were looking for someone to host a small gathering of card players - a private poker game. Not the usual event I imagine, but Jennifer and her partner Sophie calmly took on what many companies would not have known how to handle. A small intimate space, cigar-smoke, elaborate high-end cocktails, all amongst a group of men. I make this clear because I believe this type of small venue can prove to be inherently more complicated than it sounds on paper. Placing beautiful bartenders in an elbows-to-elbows, dim-lit poker room, serving men who are potentially losing at cards - it can easily go sideways. That was a long explanation to say this: Jennifer is extremely good at reading the room and fully understanding what a specific event requires. She didn't provide a box-store catering package - we discussed, she listened, she asked all the right questions, she adapted, she orchestrated. Our particular event was flawless. Not a single moment of wondering where the staff went. Not a single moment of wondering why our glass was empty. Not a single moment where we men didn't smile at each other wondering if time flies this quickly in heaven. Timing and details are everything. Jennifer & Sophie made us feel like Hollywood elite for the evening and the next morning we all sulked around our houses, texting each other, asking each other why it had to end. It was truly remarkable, so much so that had I the money and resources, I would hire her and her team full time to jet around with me to exotic locations, knowing that they would hand me whatever I wanted two seconds before I realized I wanted it.
