I’m Josué. My work begins before the first slice: understanding your event, choosing the right place for the carving station and coordinating with the people making it happen.
A year in Las Vegas taught me to care as much about the flow of a room as the ham itself. Today I bring that attention to weddings, celebrations and corporate events throughout Spain.

Yes. After a year working in Las Vegas, I can handle enquiries and coordinate the service in both English and Spanish.
