Caring Staff is the Real Strength behind Events by Classic — Chapter 2

Without our fabulous staff, Events by Classic would not be the energized and well-respected company it is, so it seemed fitting that the first post of the new year introduces you to another of our key “saviors” . . . Mary Lisa!

In Mary Lisa’s words, she has “enjoyed the great atmosphere at Events by Classic for over three years.”  Her first interactions with us was as a client!! A few years ago, she was looking for a local caterer for her daughter’s wedding; Classic Catering was the caterer of choice (duh!).  Amidst planning emails and phone calls, it was soon evident to Dean and Debbie that Mary Lisa would be a perfect fit for the team . . . her organizational skills and “love of a party” makes event planning second nature to her, and she has been a part of our “family” ever since.

Working as an Event Manager, Mary Lisa takes pride in getting to know her clients and what they envision for their wedding day. Her knowledge of set-up logistics and industry trends allow for great brain-storming sessions! She maintains expertise in planning parties of any size, from intimate get-togethers or corporate events to wonderful wedding celebrations as unique as the couples themselves. You might say she has a “Passion for Planning Parties with Panache” (which should have been this post’s title!). Mary Lisa thrives on making her clients’ dreams realities, one detail at time, and it is so evident from the letters & reviews she receives that she gives it all . . .

“Once I made my first phone call & talked to Mary Lisa, I felt confident everything was going to be perfect.”
“Mary Lisa is the one who helped me fix my dress and spent some time with me as I was waiting for the moment we would walk into the garden.”
“Mary Lisa is AMAZING!”
“Mary Lisa even brought in her own personal cake platters to help us with our cake display.  She is fantastic, by the way!”
“As the wedding neared we had fluxes and all kind of last minute craziness and Mary Lisa offered sound advice.”
“We were so happy with the way the day went, and we know it wouldn’t have been as smooth or as special without Mary Lisa!”
“Mary Lisa did a wonderful job through each step of creating for our special day; this woman, she is a true professional!”
“I would trust her with any type of event, and we truly enjoyed working with her.”
“Mary Lisa was absolutely amazing throughout the whole year of planning and the day of.”
“Mary Lisa is a joy to work with.”

Chef/Owner Dean may not have a care, but Mary Lisa has a schedule to keep to

Always time for a little holiday fun with the staff
