Hello, I'm Jamie Critchley private party FACILITATOR. My staff & myself absolutley love working events. I get so excited when i get messages through Thumbtacks, but the amount of people just shopping around is breaking my bank. Us Pros get charged from each inquiry if its for just 1 of us or 4. ($20-$40) Its very disheartening paying this fee & not getting the booking.
Please read some of my REVIEWS before anything else & know my rate is $45/55 hr before gratuity. Rates GO UP based on holidays & holiday weekends. You won't be disappointed with my service.
I'm fortunate & grateful for my wonderful team that make up HELPING HANDS.
I also have Bartenders, Grillers, Chefs, Catering Menu too. DJ & Photo Booth based on availability.
My name is Jamie Lueddeke Critchley. I work as a party hostess at your home, venue, or park. I can greet your guests, hang coats, offer drinks, heat & pass hors d`oeuvres, heat food, set up buffet or plate up meals, serve food, get coffee & desserts ready, keep an eye out for debris, look after powder room, store leftovers & clean up. Ive also been practicing charcuterie boards. If it's a self-serve bar, I would open wines, cut fruit, refill ice, make simple drinks, etc... I will say my business stands out as I know what the next steps are to running a party/wedding where timing may be important if you are renting a venue for a certain amount of hours, or if you have guests that will be ready to leave at a certain time & may be looking for coffee & dessert or something along those lines. Also, for the timing of a sit-down meal, I am very familiar with running wedding receptions as far as intros, toasts, cake cutting & such... I worked banquets for 10 years at a venue in my neighborhood & was captain there for 6 years. That is where most of my knowledge came from. The bottom line is I would do what you would do if I wasn`t there. My main job is to let you relax & have fun with your guests & I do the rest. You`d be a guest in your own home! Its nice that you can go to bed & wake up with a clean kitchen. My staff of servers & bartenders are experienced & some listed in my reviews as well. **4 hour minimum**
I can provide 10 wire chafing racks if you need, along with gold serving utensils. I also have a few platters & cake risers. Let me know before your event.Also, I have 25 white chair covers with black belt & black napkins as well.
