Taly and I wanted to take this chance to thank you and David again for your all your work on Friday afternoon and evening. The two of you came with such know-how and professionalism that it really allowed us to put on a beautiful event, and - equally important - allowed us the breathing room to be able to enjoy it.
We will definitely be calling you next time we put on any sort of event, for now thank you both very much. Wishing you the best-and party on!
Noreen and her team were the greatest!!

There's sooo much we could say about Noreen and her team but I'll try to keep it short.
Noreen was on top of it since day 1 for us. We had planning calls, she wrote everything down and nailed the details to a T. She asked us questions that we didn't even realize we hadn't thought about and made sure everything was completely taken care of the day of our backyard wedding. Her team took care of setting up our place settings, helping with putting the decor in place, setting up our buffet, constantly made sure everyone had water and tea available, and cleaned up constantly. Bathrooms, bar, hallways, etc. You name it! They were super slick and did not stand out while cleaning and serving at all but everyone who had interacted with her team were sure to tell us how nice and professional they were. We will definitely hire them again for all our future events!

Enclosed is a text from the 9/24 client (not edited) regarding
the servers she hired for her next day 9/25 reception because my
“Party On” team and I weren’t available to work the 2nd day event.
It clearly demonstrates that “Party On” is top notch and there’s no comparison
on what we do and how we do it!
READ ON from 9/24 client:
“Im a little heart broken as my family was left cleaning up and basically doing what we hired them for. and they left 1hr early without saying bye to anyone so i didnt have a run through before they left like we did.
the dessert was almost not served. they refused to box up 1 tray of food.
we had so much food also that guests were able to go for seconds BUT they werent serving anymore. it became self serve. 😓😓😓😓😓
i was messaging with the manager for 2 hrs after the party letting her know of how upset i was. my husband was telling me to get some rest but i couldnt stop messaging the manager because I HAVE TO LET THEM KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG. They refunded me 1hr BUT that doesnt compensate for leaving my whole family putting the linens away, draining the coolers and putting EVERYTHING away. The chaffing dishes we rinsed but still dirty. I sent pictures to the lady.
We were so cool with the servers also and I personally kept checking up on them just as I did with you guys. So i was so surprised what happened.
Aaaand they were already asking if i wanted to extend hours around 1030 when they were supposed to be there til 12mn.
😔
I told the manager. I had DOUBLE the guests yesterday and it went EXTRA smooth and that i just cant help but compare services that we recvd.
Thanks Noreen. My family also still could not stop saying awesome things about you and your team! 🥰🥰🥰 My mom said we will definitely hire you and your team all the time! I will inquire in advance so that hopefully you are available! 💜💜💜 We love to organize parties. 😍🥰

Awesome!
“Noreen and David were amazing at my wedding. Very attentive and helpful throughout the whole event. I wasn’t worried about a thing. When our caterers gave us the wrong amount of food, Noreen and team listened and tried their best to serve accordingly. They helped with everything we need: serving food and water, packing up the food, clearing plates and packing them up for the rental company. Couldn’t have asked for more from their service! Thank you team”!

Party On went above and beyond to make our party happen. I could relax and have a good time with Noreen's competent and cheerful handling of every detail. The flow of food and drink was well-paced, and their presence comfortable and responsive. Noreen and her assistant really kept things running smoothly. It was a delight to find everything cleaned up and spiffy when the party ended, so we could just enjoy the glow.
Be well!

Party on knows how to do parties
Noreen and David did a fabulous job with my birthday party. Right when they arrived they immediately knew what to do and allowed me to completely enjoy my party. They finish prepped and pass appetizers, managed the food and beverages and did an absolutely amazing job of cleaning up. It was so nice to walk into the kitchen after the party and have it sparkling clean. I completely endorse "Party On" and will use them again without any hesitation.

Succeeded all Expectations
Noreen was fantastic and I'd hire her again in a heartbeat! I would give her 10 stars if I could Why? She communicated with me several times to make sure there were no changes and to confirm time. She arrived on time with a friendly and calm disposition -I could feel I was in great hands. She was super organized serving drinks. She was understanding when we asked her to wear a mask because our elderly parents requested it. She helped clean up. She even learned names of guests and paid attention to what they were drinking. She was truly someone reliable, professional, human and friendly. Thank you, Noreen!!!

Amazing amazing waitstaff
Noreen and David were the best. They worked beyond our expectations. They had few calls before our event to write down everything so that there was no hiccups. They were beyond our expectations!!
Thank you Noreen for making our day even more special. You are the best!
And I can say that 200%. She and David helped us with our 2day wedding and all everyone was saying is how amazing they are. We were super lucky to have them with us. They are super detail oriented. Please please hire them.

My guests RAVED about the SERVICE!
As the hostess at my son's college graduation party, I decided to give hiring some help a try. I chose "Party On" because they had good reviews and Noreen got back to me with a reasonable quote right away. I was pleasantly surprised when Noreen and her team, Joe and Ken, showed up. They were professional, organized, knowledgeable, friendly, efficient, hands-on, hard working, and above all, very pleasant to my guests. Numerous friends and family asked me where I found them, amazed that they knew exactly what to do and I was able to enjoy the party and visit with my guests. First time I actually sat down and finished a meal during a party I hosted. First time I wasn't exhausted after hosting a party.
When I first spoke with Noreen, I had good intentions of having everything ready to go. Unfortunately, life changes sometimes and I was behind schedule. Noreen, Ken and Joe jumped right in and helped prep food, get drinks set up, organized the buffet, set up various areas for recycling and garbage, and always with a smile. They worked very hard and did a fantastic job! The party was over and everything was cleaned up. No more staying up all night doing dishes. If you want to enjoy your party, hire Noreen and her team and enjoy the party AND your guests! You'll be pleasantly surprised! I'm SOLD on "PARTY ON."

Unbelievably Great
I cannot stress enough how great Noreen and her crew were. They exceeded every expectation I had and were amazing. They served my backyard wedding and made everything run perfect. I didn't have a coordinator but Noreen had no issues and everything went great. Several guests have asked for their information because they were the best they've ever seen

This two person crew showed up on time and went to work immediately and never stopped! They were professional and polite. Definitely worth every dime! I got lots of inquiries about how to hire them for upcoming events. I would hire them again and again. Perfection!

I want to thank you and David for your amazing
Work , you are not only
Highly professional, but you made me feel very reassured all evening thanks to your
consistent work and attention to details, with such a lovely friendly and courteous
touch, it seemed that we know you for a long time like all the guests.
Can’t thank you enough to have been taking charge immediately as our caterer was very Late due to unexpected kitchen Issues, have to say I was worried as guests were present early and you took charge right away,
so the drinks and appetizers could still start with not too much delay, couldn’t have done this birthday celebration without both of you.
You went above and beyond expectations.
Warm regards ,
Will stay I touch and will call you for any new gathering !

I hired Noreen Massey of "Party On" as a server, along with an assistant, (who on this occasion was her brother Bob😊), for my 60th birthday celebration on Sunday, September 1st. Noreen's attention to detail and dedication to making the party run smoothly were fantastic! I had a list and a timeline and Noreen followed them astutely and did everything just beautifully. There were 26 guests and we had hors d'oeuvres, cocktails, sit down dinner and desert. The kitchen was left very clean and tidy and I was just thrilled with the whole thing. Noreen made me feel very well taken care of and I enjoyed myself thoroughly. I definitely recommend her for your gatherings!

Noreen -
Please accept my most sincere, heartfelt thanks.
You and your team made our day run SO smoothly - everything fell perfectly into place, and I know it was because of your experience, diligence, attention to detail, and just plain kindness!
You were basically my party planner!
We cannot thank you enough.
Noreen is awesome and your event will be too!
Noreen was a Crucial part of the success of my wedding day! From the moment I hired her, she was prompt, professional and completely on top of everything. She helped coordinate a complex and somewhat convoluted wedding that involved late in the game venue changes and day of hiccups. She navigated this with grace and confidence, which helped me to do the same. She asked all the right questions, and went above and beyond my expectations.
Day of, she and her staff helped set up our outdoor wedding, bar-tended, manned the dinner, cut cakes, and cleaned (cleaned so much)! They were efficient, professional, and fun to talk to.
Thanks so much Party On <3
Much love,

Noreen,
Another great big THANK YOU for your and David's assistance on Saturday at St. Paul's. I appreciated that you undertook some tasks, like serving water and clearing plates, that I hadn't specifically asked you to do. You are clearly a pro at what you do. My siblings agreed that it was a great idea to get help, when we realized our Mom (who did the bulk of the planning) had not thought about who would be taking delivery of the food and getting it ready wile the memorial was going on.
We will definitely keep you in mind should we need server assistance at future events.
...................................................................................
I was just about to reach out to you. We had a great experience with you and your staff last year.
