Introduction

I have been in the waitstaff/planning industry for more than 30 years. A few of the places that I have work include: Halas Hall (Bears headquarters), Knollwood Country Club, Eaglewood Country Club, Friendship Village, UW, and numerous private clients and corporate events. One thing that makes my company stand out is our attention to details. I make sure that everything is done specifically as requested, because I want to ensure your satisfaction. We try to anticipate the next tasks so that the hosts can enjoy their guests and their event. Our reviews speak to our high level of service. Whether small or large, all events get our complete attention as we execute every detail. I enjoy meeting new people and being able to assist them with their special occasions. Weddings are our specialty from grass roots (DIY) to an extremely fancy coorodinated affair. I love seeing all the plans come together, where everyone gets to witness the "final successful production"! I also enjoy brain storming new ideas with my clients as we plan their events, because this enables us to continue to increase what we can offer clients as we continue to grow our company.

Marshanell provided service for a UW Black Faculty Collective event recently and did an excellent job. She provides friendly, punctual service and makes the guests feel welcome. I appreciate the service she provided for us.

I loved working with Marshanelle and her staff. We cannot say enough good things about working with the company. Even though we were only having one waiter come out for a birthday dinner party for my husband, they came out TWICE before the event with different waiters so they could get an idea of exactly what the conditions were and what we wanted. The person who ended up working the birthday dinner was 1/2 hour early and was amazingly professional, sweet, charming, well-groomed and lovely to everyone all evening. GREAT COMPANY with a GREAT attention to detail!

I cannot express how grateful I am to Marshanell and her team for serving at our wedding. Absolute professionalism and dedication to providing quality service. I really appreciate the work that she and her team at Ready and Able Event Services provided to make our wedding run without a hitch. She is serious about her work and was diligent in following up with us or vendors to make sure no gaps were left out. I am really thankful and happy for their service.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Usually, 1.5-2 hours are needed before the event begins for setup. This time is added to the duration of the event. Also, normally 2-3 people are needed, but this depends on the number of guests.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When I get a new customer, I find out more about them. I ask questions to find out what their desires are for their special events, and I do my best to fulfill these desires. My goal is to make sure that the clients are happy, and make sure that the event is a success!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a food handling certificate, and I have received training from various chefs and waitstaff for over 25 years.
