Tina was a lifesaver for my family Thanksgiving party I was hosting this year. I must have…read morecontacted 30 different companies, servers, and even cleaners to try to find someone to help us out for a few hours on Thanksgiving. Many companies were downright rude, stating they do not make their employees work on holidays. Others gave us absurd quotes, and after weeks of searching, I had almost given up hope of finding anyone. Being 6 months pregnant, and hosting a Thanksgiving party for 30-40 guests in my home, I really wanted an extra set of hands to help set up, maintain the buffet, and clean up. Tina agreed to come work herself when she wasn't able to find any of her waitstaff to come in. She showed up 15 mins early while I was still in my pajamas running around getting food in the oven, and got right to work. She finished setting up my buffet, wrote the names of the dishes on my mini chalkboard plaques, and greeted guests while I quickly got ready. She was very personable and professional and willing to do whatever was necessary to make the evening go smooth. When the punch ran out, she offered to make more. She helped carve the turkey, ensured the buffet was refilled as necessary, and plated the desserts at my request to make it easy for guests to grab and sit down. She packed leftovers in To Go containers, cleaned up, washed dishes, and took out trash. Many of my guests came up to me throughout the night to compliment her service. I am so happy I found her, and can't imagine using anyone else for my party needs in the future. Thank you Tina for saving my party, and letting me actually be able to sit and enjoy my company for a change. I can't wait to work with you again!

First time hiring a bartender for a personal event. Now I have no idea how I will ever throw a…read moreparty without John's Bartending Services. John was very easy to deal with on the front end for logistics. They do an excellent job of spelling everything out and guiding you on what to supply. Bartender showed up on time and ready to serve! The party we hired John's for was my 40th birthday party. I love making cocktails but I just wanted to enjoy the party. Within the 15 minute setup time drinks were flowing. I had 22 guests and everyone was taken care of. What blew me away was that when my guests were enjoying the party and no one was at the bar, the bartender would wander the crowd and take drink orders! Over and above what I expected! Not only was the bartender mixing drinks and delivering them, he would also make sure everyone was staying hydrated and pass out waters intermittently through the event. On top of all that, he even bussed the tables and took out trash! At the end of the event we had minimal to clean up. Everyone had a blast and we all got to enjoy hanging out. Initially hired them for a 5 hour window but they were so great we asked to extend for an extra hour and they didn't hesitate and saying sure thing! If I could give this review a 6th star I would. John's Bartending Services were incredibly professional. Absolutely blown away by the service and look forward to hiring them again.

From the first correspondence…read moreto the handshake farewell of our wedding, Ross and his team were the most professional people I have ever worked with. I've been in the entertainment world in Chicago for 25 years, and I don't want to work with anyone else ever again. Ross and the team at unMuddled were honest, fair, and went above and beyond to not only make us feel special, but make our guests feel special. unMuddled cultivated a specialized menu for our wedding, and worked with us not only on the menu, but also helped us figure out what alcohol to buy. They crafted specialized cocktails for both the bride and groom, and honestly stole the show in the best way possible: they didn't need any tending to. When I first reached out to Ross, I immediately felt at ease, and never once worried about how our wedding would turn out. Ross, I hope you read these reviews... I can't thank you enough for helping to make our wedding the night it was. You're the best.

I thought I would try the service for healthier options. When I picked up the food, Chef Beau to…read moreme, "we're running low on containers so we charge a deposit." Deposit was $150. I had no issue with that as I'm sure it makes people return the containers. We did not care for the food and chose not to try the service again. When I returned the glass containers (admittedly a few months later, but they were returned) I was informed that you have to use their service eight times to get the deposit back. This was the first I heard of it because I would never have agreed. Why would I agreed to use a service for eight times before I even know if I liked it?! Chef Beau said that the policy was explained to me in a "myriad if ways". This is simply not true. He is now refusing to return my $150 deposit even though he has his glass containers back. This is theft of my money as he has his property. It's simple - you charge a deposit for an item, the item gets to return you give back the deposit. Do not use the service!
