My family and I had planned for my 50th Birthday Brunch for months. I had a vision of what I wanted my event decor to look like, but I was having a hard time finding someone to execute it. I initially spoke with Chef Monica via Thumbtack. She immediately defined the look that I wanted and took charge. She was hired that day! We later met at the event space, and she demonstrated that she was in her element. I then asked if she would complete day-of coordination, and she was available. She advised on party favors, etc., that was needed and was attentive and responsive to all my calls and inquiries prior to the event. She provided opinions on ideas and was very kind and warm. On the day of the event, all I can say is - "phonemenal". The tables linens she suggested coordinated perfectly with the florals I chose prior to meeting her. The set-up for the Cigar Bar and Cake Table was fantastic! Her timetables during the event allowed it to flow from beginning to end in a smooth fashion. People thought that she actually worked for the event space! I HIGHLY recommend Chef Monica and her staff for all of your event needs. Please dont miss out on this gem!

I should have been able to choose all five qualities!! These folks are intuitive about needs, desires, and the event personality. I truly lucked out when I asked them to help.
