13: Halyards Catering with Monica Andreae
04/17/19 • 61 min
Monica Andreae is the Catering & Events Director at Halyards Catering on St. Simons Island, GA. She helps create and design experiences that mark special events like weddings and receptions, anniversaries, family reunions, dinner parties, corporate events and more. Whether she’s working on production elements like tent, lighting and layout or menus, the most important piece of the process to her is giving clients an experience that reflects what they want. Values like honesty and integrity are at the core of everything she does in order to assure a great client experience.
Andreae’s passion for events started from her years of work in the luxury automotive industry. Working on national events and launch campaigns for clients like Audi and Saab was the foundation that started her passion for events and event management. Having different objectives and elements for each event keeps her going and being able to close the book on a successful program is very satisfying. It’s what she’d like to think is what drives her to get up every morning, but honestly, it’s her 8 year old daughter. Andreae is a proud mother of her busy and energetic daughter. While not producing events or meeting with clients, she keeps busy coaching her daughter’s soccer team, dashing her off to piano or riding lessons and keeping family life as full of fun as possible.

14: Tips for Avoiding Wedding Day Mishaps- Veronica Howard Events
Since she was a little girl, Veronica Howard of Veronica Howard Events, has been a planner and coordinator at heart. She absolutely LOVES planning parties. Give her an occasion and she will start planning immediately. Ideas are endless and she strives to exceed expectations. Every detail matters, NO detail is too small!
"I have planned a number of events and celebrations for friends and loved ones. I finally decided to make a career out of it. I have learned that if you are passionate about what you do, it’s not work. Creativity, Organization, Perseverance, Resourcefulness and Communication are qualities I was blessed with and learned along the way.
My experience working for close friends lead me to fine tune my skills. I graduated from Coastal Pines Technical College with an Associates Degree in Culinary Arts. During my last semester, I was offered a position as a Personal Chef for a private family in Sylvania, Ga. There, I met some amazing people which subsequently landed me another position with Tasteful Temptations. I met and worked with the Owner and Executive Chef of Tasteful Temptations, Brian Justice. I worked for Tasteful Temptations as a Chef for a year and then transitioned into my dream position of Event Coordinator. The experience I gained was astounding. In my 2 1/2 years of working with Tasteful Temptations, I consumed myself with learning everything about the industry. I attained practical skills, exposure and met some incredible connections and vendors. During my time at Tasteful Temptations, I realized some demands are lacking for our Beautiful Golden Isles. Those demands inspired me to venture out and launch my very own company.
My personal goal is to celebrate you! Weddings, Baby Showers, Bridal Showers, Birthday Parties, Engagements, Retirement Parties or Promotions. I love making people feel special. I absolutely love providing a WOW factor with jaw dropping elements to continue to surprise my clients along the way. "
