Every Celebration on Chicago’s North Shore, Served by One Team
Whatever the Occasion: Plan It, Staff It, or Both
Most people don’t search for "event services." They search for help with their wedding, their son’s bar mitzvah, their company party. So this is the simple version: whatever you’re celebrating, That Special Event brings the same two capabilities to it. A planning division that can carry your event from first idea to final timeline, and a staffing division of trained servers, bartenders, captains, and kitchen professionals who execute it. Use one, use both, and either way it’s a single team, a single standard, and a single phone number.

25 Years in North Shore
Weddings in Winnetka backyards, mitzvahs in Highland Park ballrooms, corporate events in Chicago high-rises. Since 1999, we’ve served them all, more than 60,000 events staffed and counting.
Kosher-Conscious Available
Kosher-conscious trained personnel are available for events with kosher or kosher-style service requirements, working within the plan established by the family, caterer, venue, or supervising authority.
