It went really well. DJ was the best server I've ever had. The way he plated and presented the appetizers was incredible. He was so well organized that he kept everyone's glass filled, the table looking great, and the kitchen spotless. There wasn't one thing I had to do when he left. Amazing!

I just wanted to drop you a quick note to share with you how pleased we were with Jeff, who worked our event today.  Jeff arrived right on time and was pleasant and helpful to our guests while still keeping the party comfortable and casual.  Furthermore, Jeff was proactive in getting the food broken down and cleaned up.  I could not have been more pleased with Jeff.  I hesitated hiring someone to help us but am glad I did and would quickly do so again knowing how well today went.
