Tina was a lifesaver for my family Thanksgiving party I was hosting this year. I must have…read morecontacted 30 different companies, servers, and even cleaners to try to find someone to help us out for a few hours on Thanksgiving. Many companies were downright rude, stating they do not make their employees work on holidays. Others gave us absurd quotes, and after weeks of searching, I had almost given up hope of finding anyone. Being 6 months pregnant, and hosting a Thanksgiving party for 30-40 guests in my home, I really wanted an extra set of hands to help set up, maintain the buffet, and clean up. Tina agreed to come work herself when she wasn't able to find any of her waitstaff to come in. She showed up 15 mins early while I was still in my pajamas running around getting food in the oven, and got right to work. She finished setting up my buffet, wrote the names of the dishes on my mini chalkboard plaques, and greeted guests while I quickly got ready. She was very personable and professional and willing to do whatever was necessary to make the evening go smooth. When the punch ran out, she offered to make more. She helped carve the turkey, ensured the buffet was refilled as necessary, and plated the desserts at my request to make it easy for guests to grab and sit down. She packed leftovers in To Go containers, cleaned up, washed dishes, and took out trash. Many of my guests came up to me throughout the night to compliment her service. I am so happy I found her, and can't imagine using anyone else for my party needs in the future. Thank you Tina for saving my party, and letting me actually be able to sit and enjoy my company for a change. I can't wait to work with you again!

From the first correspondence…read moreto the handshake farewell of our wedding, Ross and his team were the most professional people I have ever worked with. I've been in the entertainment world in Chicago for 25 years, and I don't want to work with anyone else ever again. Ross and the team at unMuddled were honest, fair, and went above and beyond to not only make us feel special, but make our guests feel special. unMuddled cultivated a specialized menu for our wedding, and worked with us not only on the menu, but also helped us figure out what alcohol to buy. They crafted specialized cocktails for both the bride and groom, and honestly stole the show in the best way possible: they didn't need any tending to. When I first reached out to Ross, I immediately felt at ease, and never once worried about how our wedding would turn out. Ross, I hope you read these reviews... I can't thank you enough for helping to make our wedding the night it was. You're the best.

I ended up finding my own cocktail recipes and got fancy signs framed myself but I'm glad she suggested doing signature cocktails because they were a total hit! Both bartenders were extremely friendly, fun, and courteous. They came early to make 2 big batches of our signature drinks to have on hand. They were high energy, dancing behind the bar to the dj's music the entire night! Everyone loved their contagious energy! Whenever I walked by they offered me drinks immediately and even memorized what my mother in law ordered so whenever she came back they had her drink ready for her to hand out! Absolutely exceeded expectations!

I followed up and was told I would receive the proposal by the end of the day, but I never heard back. I reached out multiple times over the following two weeks to everyone I had been in contact with and did not receive a single response.

I had no issue with that as I'm sure it makes people return the containers. We did not care for the food and chose not to try the service again. When I returned the glass containers (admittedly a few months later, but they were returned) I was informed that you have to use their service eight times to get the deposit back. This was the first I heard of it because I would never have agreed. Why would I agreed to use a service for eight times before I even know if I liked it?! Chef Beau said that the policy was explained to me in a "myriad if ways". This is simply not true. He is now refusing to return my $150 deposit even though he has his glass containers back. This is theft of my money as he has his property. It's simple - you charge a deposit for an item, the item gets to return you give back the deposit. Do not use the service!
