“For my wife's 40th birthday party I reached out to Madi and the team at Mission Table. Admittedly I was a husband in WAY over his head trying to plan a surprise party. Madi and the team were EXTREMELY helpful and turned a really stressful task into something quite simple and pleasant. Madi was super responsive, flexible and overall a great source of calm and optimism. The party went smooth and everyone had a great time. Apps and pasta were great, bar ran smoothly and efficient and the room(s) were a great setting to celebrate. Many of our guests commented on how Mission Table was a great choice. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend MT, Madi and her team to anyone looking to plan an event. 10/10. Thanks!”
