About

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.

Absolutely phenomenal! Marshanelle was great from the first message. Her team know what they are doing and so it efficiently and with professionalism. Our daughters wedding reception would not have been what it was without them. Highly recommended.

As a day-of coordinator for a lot of DIY weddings, it was a joy to work with Marshanell and her Ready and Able team. Hiring her event staff really is the difference between a good event and a great one. There was clear, efficient communication before and during the event and there was not one thing that Marshanell said she or her team would do that wasn't done and it was done to perfection. I hope I have the chance to work with them again and will be recommending them to my future couples.

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 MAST 12. I have received training from various chefs and waitstaff for over 25 years.
