Cristina was an absolute star! She worked with us for my boyfriend’s 60th birthday and felt like a true partner - developing a drink menu, thinking through what we should purchase and making killer drinks the day of the party! She helped keep things in order and blended so well with our guests that someone asked us which one of us she was related to…We would recommend her without hesitation and hope to work with her again in the future! Simply amazing!!!!

I honestly cannot say enough GREAT things about these ladies that helped me with my Halloween party last night. In the past, I've hired my fair share of party help. Each time I was left with long clean up and regret. I FINALLY got it right!! Melanie was amazing with my guests as she served drinks. She set up and cleaned up. She was beyond friendly, flexible, and super easy to work with. Nora was RIDICULOUS with set up and cleanup. She was on things before I could even ask for it to be done. She did the work of ten people. I can't wait to hire these awesome ladies again for my next party. Would recommend to anyone!!!

From setup to cleanup, Cristina and her staff member went above and beyond. They stepped right in and began working immediately. They were courteous to our guests and helped serve food and drinks. It unexpectedly poured rain in the middle of the party and they wiped down all the tables and chairs and made sure the food didn’t get wet. Christina really went out of her way to make sure everything was taken care of without me having to ask. We would hire Cristina again in a heartbeat for every event. Thank you again for everything!
