I was introduced to Charismatic Creations from following the Spice Suite on social media. The owner…read moreof the Spice Suite hosts pop ups at her store and Charismatic Creations is one of the small businesses that pops up there every so often. I made my first Charismatic Creations purchase a few months after the pandemic began and bought a cocktail making kit to make cocktails for the Jill Scott vs Erykah Badu Verzuz battle. I also purchased a couple other infusions/mixers with that order. I got that order shipped to me and despite all the craziness with USPS at the time, my order arrived quickly. Fast forward to today and the owner now has her own warehouse where she now sells her products and hosts pop ups for other small businesses as well. It's so dope! Since my birthday is in April and she created some special cocktails celebrating some April-born Queens, Selena and Billie Holiday, I KNEW I needed those drinks in my possession. The Selena drink was tequila-based and the Billie Holiday drink was gin-based. If you follow Charismatic Creations on social media, you know the owner's favorite spirit is gin which on the other hand, is not mine. However, I kept an open mind and I absolutely loved that Billie Holiday drink. Both drinks were delicious and she provided lavender rose sugar to rim my cocktail glass with. I love that this business uses fresh local ingredients in their products. This is another great black woman-owned business that I really encourage you to try and definitely follow on social media for some drink recipes and to see some beautiful drinks. You can definitely tell that the owner is passionate about what she does. I can't wait for things to get back to "normal" so I can attend one of the cocktail making classes. I believe she offers them virtually right now but I've been wanting to attend in-person since before the pandemic hit. Whether you place an order online for shipping or take that journey out to Waldorf, check it out. You won't be disappointed. Cheers! PS: This business also does bartending for events and parties as well.

We were hosting a small wedding reception and needed someone who could both cater food but also…read moreprovide some furniture equipment. We worked with Main Event Caterers for several months leading up to the event. We specifically worked with Jacob, and feel that he did an excellent job at meeting all of our requests, and always went above and beyond. He was able to accommodate a food tasting, and as a result we selected some excellent food, desserts, and drinks for the event. Jacob also brought in some nice dinnerware and furniture, specifically some chairs and a nice loveseat for a small ceremony and excellent pictures. On the day of, the kitchen staff were very professional and friendly, and the service was flawless. We really appreciate the effort from Jacob and the rest of the staff that supported our event. They helped us make the event go much better than we could have ever imagined.

I was very happy with Main Event for our wedding! The food was delicious, and many guests told us…read morethey loved the food. The service on the day was seamless, and we didn't have to worry about anything. My husband and I had a main point of contact on the day who ensured we had food and drinks at all times, and made sure we knew important things like how to cut the cake properly for photos. A few things to note that we wish went smoother. We worked with an initial point of contact leading up to finalizing the menu and tasting, worked with another person in the month leading up to the wedding (floorplans, final decisions), then neither of those two people were at the wedding day itself. I believe this led to a few requests being missed. For example, we requested cream cheese frosting on our red velvet cutting cake, but it was just normal buttercream which was disappointing. Communication via email was difficult at times, and we occasionally had to reiterate a single request a couple of times before it was acknowledged. I also wish we had been able to take home the leftover desserts (we got cupcakes and macarons), which we had been told would be boxed up for us, but in the chaos of the end of the night, we only got our cutting cake boxed up. All in all, we were very happy with MEC and would recommend it for your wedding!

We recently had Michael and his team out to work an event. The drinks were great and everyone had a…read morewonderful time. What really stood out for me though was their problem solving and initiative. They weren't in charge of supplies just man power. But when the ice got low I never knew it. When the whiskey was almost out I never knew. Instead of pulling me from my guests or worse yet telling people we were out they took it upon themselves to send a teammate to the store...twice...which was particularly awesome because the nearest store was 25mins away. That's amazing service and I'll definitely use them again.

We had Mike and the Mix Management crew tend bar at our wedding this past weekend and I have to say…read morethey were FREAKING AMAZING. Most wedding bartenders serve drinks and maybe crack a couple of jokes if you take the time to talk to them, but these guys did an outstanding job of keeping all the guests energy up and cups filled. We literally had guests come up to us and compliment us on how great the bartenders were. They really go above and beyond and one of the cool things they did was come out a few weeks before the wedding and made different cocktails for us to sample so we could see which ones we wanted served at our wedding. Just an amazing crew and all around great company. I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking for not just a bartender, but a crowd pleasing experience for their wedding and/or party.

I decided at the last minute (a few days before my party) that I wanted a bartender and they were able to oblige. My bartender for that night was Michaela. She was on time.

She was professional throughout the entire party. I definitely plan to use them again. Give them a try; you won't regret it.
