Denise and Javier did a great job planning and facilitating the details of our daughters' Bat Mitzvah! Denise has a lot of event planning experience and was very good at helping us navigate all of the parts and details of the service and celebration including reviewing potential vendor contracts and making sure small things were handled with care. She was connected to vendors in the community and was able to make recommendations and reservations for us when we were not sure where to hold the party, have a rehearsal dinner or decorate our home for the party. We also had to make last-minute changes due to COVID and she handled the new direction in stride! In addition, Javier was an excellent server and also very experienced in the hotel industry; he picked out foods for the event that were sensibly priced, delicious and appropriate. After the event, Denise and Javier stuck around to help clean up and make sure we could relax and not worry about breaking down the chairs and tables for the party. We were very "impressed" with Empress! read more
