We have decades of experience orchestrating events, and we’re experts at details and logistics. We know what to plan for, and easily handle things that pop up. Advocating for your vision (and budget) with vendors and venue managers is our jam.
We know that getting the details right makes for a seamless event, where you and your guests just focus on the moments that become memories.
During the event we’re always thinking of the care and comfort of you and your guests, and this truly makes all the difference. We fix things before most people even think of them: a seating issue, packing up gifts, making sure the wedding party is hydrated… And we know how to handle any hiccups, from weather challenges to managing vendors and timelines. We take care of things before anyone knows there’s an issue!
Overall, our clients quickly learn they can actually enjoy the planning process with us, because we love making it all work, from start to finish.
Meet Our Team
Kate and Leslie have worked together for over a decade. They are truly on the same page and are so in sync, it’s as if they share a brain. They become your biggest advocate, dealing with vendors, editing your vision board to fit your budget, keeping any demanding relatives happy, providing tissues or champagne when needed, and generally having your back. They are there for you.
Kate Conaway
Maybe being born into a large Irish family gave Kate her innate talent for hosting events, but she says it’s her clients who taught her to really trust her instincts. If she thinks a customer won’t be happy, she trusts that sense and fixes whatever needs to change.
It’s safe to say that no one in the catering world works harder than Kate. Her grandmother, a single working mom in the 50’s, set the example with her strong work ethic and a “can-do” attitude. Kate actually relaxes by working out at the gym (although you can occasionally find her reading under an umbrella, down the shore).
As her four kids can attest, her biggest pet peeve is laziness. Kate sees herself as an advocate for a couple’s needs, wants and vision, and she works to exceed all their expectations. She also knows what makes guests happy: being greeted at arrival so they immediately feel the hospitality and warmth tops her list. She knows a couple needs time for themselves built in to the event, otherwise they get swept up in the timeline and don’t get the chance to savor the moments that make memories of their incredibly special event.
Expect the planning process with Kate to be remarkably low-stress, because she’s always one step ahead, working to give you the ease to enjoy the process and, especially, your event.
Leslie Cervenka
Leslie is fluent in details and logistics (some might say obsessed, but in a good way). It’s practically guaranteed she’s already thought of everything on your list, and her list has things that never crossed your mind! She does this so your experience is flawless and so you’re able to just enjoy the time with your partner and guests on this very special day.
Leslie’s collects cookbooks, and she treasures the handwritten notes in the books handed down from family members. She’s a “HUGE” Broadway fan, and loves old songs that bring back memories of special people in her life. She learned to love traveling with her family as a kid, and she continues the tradition with her family now, with their 7 year old in tow. She loves a dry sense of humor, buffalo wings, and the Phillies.
She may not strike you as a sentimental person off the bat, but it’s because Leslie values these personal connections that she works so hard to make your day purely enjoyable - so you can be in each moment and soak it all in, knowing everything is taken care of.
She’ll be sure you have food and drinks, and that your dress gets bustled, and the music is cued on time, and your guests are well cared-for at all times. You can trust her years of experience managing things behind the scenes, so that everything looks (and is) seamless. Afterwards, you’ll say you couldn’t imagine doing it all without her!
“Leslie answered all our questions promptly and, most importantly, provided insight from previous experience.”
