They were on time, did everything we requested and perfectly, and were always there to take away a plate, refill a glass or clean up something.

We would have both of them back in a heartbeat!"

I know that staffing can be challenging during that time of year, and I truly appreciate the extra effort he made on my behalf. I'm also grateful for the assistance provided by your office staff, they were able to quickly send out the confirmation and made everything come together seamlessly. I have worked with That Special Event for several years, and every experience has reinforced why I continue to return. Knowing that I can rely on your staff allows me to relax, enjoy my guests, and focus on hosting rather than worrying about the details.

"So happy to have Mauricio Galeano as our server for our grandson’s baby naming party. He was very pleasant, organized, and anticipated our needs, giving his ideas about setting up the buffet just before the party started, and in constant motion tidying up during the event, adding ice, or food as needed, packaging up leftovers for us to take home afterward. We anticipated 50 people, I think we had 70, and he was super. The company was extremely responsive to emails and phone calls as our date changed several times over a month."

They are provide reliable staff such as Ana, who has been our favorite through many different companies who have used her for events. These are multimillion dollar companies who rely on great service staff who knows what they're doing. Not only is Ana and staff wonderful but they improvise in situations which are very helpful to these Event planners. I will continue to recommend them and hope you give them a chance!"

A must for any occasion...Thank you everyone."
-David
"This week, as well as last week, and for many years, we have hired wait staff from That Special Event, and we have always been very happy with that choice. Whether it was this past month, when a server helped us with everything from set-up to clean up of two different family parties, or three years ago, when we were still only doing outdoor parties due to Covid, or 14 years ago, when they helped us cope with serving 200 guests when the venue's refrigerators broke down, Jerry and his seasoned crew have always come through!"
Lori
"Huge thanks to Jerry and his fantastic THAT SPECIAL EVENT team for the top-notch collaborations this summer! Their attention to detail, calm under pressure, & expert coordination make each event feel seamless and elevated. It’s ALWAYS a pleasure to work with dedicated event professionals who truly understand how to create lush, lasting impressions! We’re grateful you counted on A-Z Entertainment to fuel the energy and soundtrack for your VIP client experiences. Looking forward to the next one!"
Howard
"We hired That Special Event for a graduation party. Jose and Lorena were on time, very attentive, so incredibly kind to our guests and just all around wonderful!!! Our guests never had to ask for anything as they were right there to help with everything! They set everything up beautifully. By the end of the party there wasn’t much for us to do…all the left over food had been boxed up and put away to enjoy later that evening and the next day. We have hired this company several times over the years and every time they have gone above and beyond! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend over and over again!!"
Tamara
That Special Event, I cannot express how profoundly grateful I am to Jerry, Soshy, and the entire team at That Special Event for orchestrating the most beautiful Celebration of Life for my husband. From the very first walkthrough, they brought not only their expertise but also genuine compassion and care, offering thoughtful suggestions that made everything seamless. The food was simply outstanding, especially the charcuterie table that guests are still raving about. They managed to stay perfectly on budget while going above and beyond in every aspect of service. They even took care of all the cleanup, leaving the house spotless and even taking out the trash. It was truly stress-free and heartfelt. I wholeheartedly recommend That Special Event for anyone looking to create a meaningful and memorable occasion. They truly deserve all the praise in the world.
Diane
"Very pleasant and helpful office/reservations staff. And the kitchen helper they sent me for my family dinner party was terrific!"
Robert
"Jerry and Linda made my backyard wedding dreams come true. They are truly a pleasure to work with. Linda helped me with the planning from months out. When the time came and I needed help figuring the layout with the tent company, Jerry and Linda were at my house within 10 minutes to make sure the tent company set everything up for the optimal flow. They helped us figure out where the buffet would go, where the bar would go, and the setup was beyond beautiful. They flipped “the room” after the ceremony during cocktail hour and I barely noticed, which is telling when everything is just one big space. I could go on and on about how wonderful they are. The entire staff was phenomenal. I highly recommend them for your next event. "
Darcy
"Excellent communication from the company leading up to the event. Serves were punctual, cordial and did a great job. I would definitely recommend and use them again."
