13: Halyards Catering with Monica Andreae

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.
