MEET THE TEAM
Our dearest Claudia has now worked with us for nearly five years. It was quite obvious from the beginning that she had talent. She has earned her position as Pastry Chef through dedication and hard work. Claudia is always on the lookout for the latest trends in presentation to bring to the table and has an amazing creative eye. She has two children who keep her on her toes. With a great sense of fashion and style, she actually graduated as a makeup artist and hairstylist in her previous life. She absolutely loves her position, and we, too, could not possibly imagine what life in our kitchen would be like without Claudia.

Swipe left to explore three unexpected food pairings Jojo swears by.
🍅 First, a tomato vodka cocktail hour, where guests can dip fresh tomatoes onto vodka-soaked skewers and top them with various seasonings—a bold and unique start to any event.
🧀 Next, a multi-tiered birthday cake made entirely of specialty cheese wheels, serving as a stunning centerpiece and a delicious addition to the grazing station.
🌶️ Finally, tried-and-true chile and chocolate pastries offer a sweet-and-spicy surprise to cap off the evening.

We’re reflecting on our most cherished moments from the year, including celebrating our 40th year in business, Chef Jojo's unforgettable 50th birthday cheesecake, countless tastings at our office, serving spectacular galas, and the creatively successful 25th annual Discovery Ball at the California Science Center, themed "A Taste of Tuscany."

Here’s to all our incredible creative partners, clients, and team members who made these milestones possible—and to many more memorable moments ahead!

Shimmy Up to the Bar! As we gear up for New Year’s celebrations, Pauline, Jojo, and friends are jetting off to New York City for a fabulous girls' trip filled with classics like the Rockettes and Tavern on the Green.

Here at the bar, our savvy mixologists take great pride in crafting cocktails (and mocktails) tailored to your event’s theme and unique needs. We use only organic, fresh-squeezed juices and top-shelf liquor, garnished with fresh fruits, herbs, and vegetables. Cheers to that! 🥂

As the year comes to a close, we take this time to reflect on the highs and lows of the past twelve months. This year has been especially meaningful as we celebrated an incredible milestone: 40 years of Good Gracious! in business. Our journey has truly come full circle, with our daughter Joanne now leading the way as President. Over the years, we’ve built our legacy on delivering exceptional quality and redefining modern hospitality. What sets us apart is our unwavering attention to detail and our commitment to going above and beyond for our clients. Our motto for this 40th year? “We don’t just follow trends; we set them.” We owe so much of our success to each of you. Thank you for your continued LOVE and support of Good Gracious! Events. Here’s to the amazing memories we’ve created together—and to many more still to come. 🥂

We are grateful for each and every one of you.
Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Much LOVE,

Pauline and Joanne
