I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for your outstanding job in planning and executing my mother's retirement party. From the beginning, your professionalism, creativity, and dedication were evident, and you went above and beyond to create an exceptional bar experience that exceeded all my expectations.
Your attention to detail and commitment to excellence were truly remarkable. The atmosphere you created was elegant and inviting and ideally suited to the celebratory nature of the event. Every guest commented on the beautiful setup and the seamless flow of the evening, and I have you to thank for making my mother's retirement party a memorable and joyous occasion.
Your ability to understand and bring our vision to life with precision and flair is a testament to your exceptional skills as a bar/event planner. You managed every aspect gracefully and efficiently, ensuring everything ran smoothly and everyone had a fantastic time.
I also want to extend my heartfelt appreciation for you and your husband arriving a day early to greet and wait on our guests with such high standards. Your warm and welcoming presence made everyone feel special, and your hospitality delighted our guests. You both have a natural talent for making people feel valued and appreciated.
Moreover, I am deeply touched by the countless hours you spent customizing every detail and ensuring everything was perfect despite your struggles. Your dedication and resilience are truly inspiring, and it made all the difference in creating an unforgettable experience for everyone.
Beyond your professional excellence, we have created a special bond—a sisterhood—that has connected you to me and my family. We are thrilled to have you as part of our extended family, and we look forward to many more celebrations together. Consider yourself "stuck" with us now!
Once again, thank you for your hard work and dedication and for going the extra mile to make this event special. I am incredibly grateful for your efforts and excited about our lasting friendship.

I’ve followed Vanessa on Instagram for months now. She is professional, personable, kind and honest. She never runs from a challenge and she’s very responsive. Vanessa puts love and care into every event she does! Her decorating and hosting skills are OUTSTANDING. One day, I plan to work with Vanessa for an event because I know that she will make my vision come to life while going the extra mile to make it extraordinary. If you’re looking for someone that genuinely cares and loves their job then look no further!

I must say, I am one of Vanessa's bartenders. I have worked many private parties with her, and she is AMAZING. I had to write this review because her clients see the end result and are blown away EVERY TIME. I have seen clients come to her bar table and become emotional (even teary-eyed), from feeling the love and care, that Vanessa exudes in her work. I also see behind the scenes as well. Her dedication, passion, and love for people are astounding. Especially in the world we live in today. Vanessa truly cares about your event, and she goes above and beyond. I know you can see it in her pictures and videos. She doesn't only theme and customize private bars for weddings she does all parties, birthdays, baby showers, holiday parties, etc. She also bartends them. Her work ethic and attention to detail are unheard of. It is a pleasure to work beside her. Vanessa, you are a rare find.

Super professional and pays attention to detail. At an event with free drink tickets and a paid bar she managed to be attentive to everyone. It was an experience above and beyond with no cut corners and a high level of professionalism. The design was laid out perfectly and Vanessa delivered the center piece and ambiance that set the tone for the party.
