About Party-Mates

Discover the experience and personal service that have made us a trusted name for over 40 years.

Family-Owned Event Staffing Serving Chicagoland

Since 1984, our motto has been “Be a Guest at Your Own Party." At Party-Mates, we recognize the fact that when you have a special occasion or special event, you want to enjoy your guests. You don't want to be worried about setting out your food, making sure appetizers are served, replenishing plates, or making sure your guests have drinks.

Built on a Love of Entertaining

Our founder and president, Jo-Ann Vacko, loves to entertain but dislikes spending time in the kitchen away from her guests! (She also hates the clean-up involved after giving a party.) In 1984, Jo-Ann started Party-Mates to help other Chicagoans who also love to entertain but hate being away from their guests.
