Introduction

Finesse Events Co. provides outstanding service for all of your event needs. Founded in 2017 by Anna and Andrew, Finesse Events Co. has worked all types of events - from small private in-home parties, to corporate shindigs, to weddings and more. We provide bartenders and servers to help your event run seamlessly. Our experienced staff have many combined years of experience working for multiple catering companies in Austin, and have come together to bring you the best service possible. Every event is different, and I love connecting with people and help them to connect with others at their event by taking the stress off their hands. We want our clients to be a part of their own party and enjoy spending time with their guests. We'd love to help you throw your next party!

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

Pricing is done on an individual basis depending on varying event needs. I have $1 million liquor liability insurance and am TABC-certified and Food Handler's certified.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

Prior to the event, I like to speak with the client either face-to-face or over the phone to get a sense of what the client wants service-wise for their event. I can help provide insight and expertise with regards to perfect amount of alcohol and mixers to purchase for each event, specialty cocktails, grocery lists, etc.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

I have over five years of experience working with numerous catering companies in both San Francisco and Austin. I have experience in all positions of catering: banquet captain, bar captain, bartender and server. My experience has included working a swath of different events - from quinceañeras (I speak Spanish fluently!) to weddings, to private birthday parties, to corporate holiday parties. I've done it all, and have decided to put my experience to use in starting my own event staffing company. We staff highly experienced bartenders and servers to make sure our staff can handle any and all events!

How did you get started doing this type of work?

I got started in catering over five years ago, when I worked my first catering gig in a high-volume, high-stress environment: Outside Lands, a big music festival in San Francisco, feeding over 500 crew members at every mealtime. After that, I was hooked! And haven't stopped catering since.

What types of customers have you worked with?

I've worked with people from all walks of life, including working with celebrities at music festivals to events with political figures. We are flexible to suit your needs - anything from the most casual of backyard weddings to formal black tie events.

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

I helped coordinate and run a 140-person wedding last fall. It was my baby for 2 months while I helped the bride plan order of service, food, rentals (linens, tables, silverware, glassware, etc). It took a lot of work and time, but the guests and the bride and groom were overjoyed with how their wedding turned out.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Austin has a lot of service industry members, but not everyone will have the professionalism you will probably be looking for. Talk to professionals before you hire someone to get a good feel for their personality and work ethic so you can hire someone you trust to help you run a successful event.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

Let me know how long your event will be, the projected timeline, number of guests, using acrylic (plastic) cups vs. glassware, needing supplies (straws? napkins? limes? lemons?), preferred attire for service people (all black? black and white?), etc. The more information, the better! This will help me get a good sense of what I will need to do to help you run a great event the moment I step on-site.
