Exceptional events don’t happen by accident. At Partyman Catering, we believe that the secret ingredient to a truly unforgettable experience isn’t just the menu; it’s the dedicated planning team working tirelessly behind the scenes.

Amanda Levine
Sales Coordinator
Background & Expertise:
Amanda’s career in hospitality actually began right here at Partyman back in 2022! She then spent time gaining incredible experience working on events in Buffalo and New York City, which completely expanded her perspective and sharpened her skill set. Now, she’s so excited to be back where it all started… bringing those fresh insights full circle to a place that perfectly aligns with her passion for creating meaningful experiences for our clients.
Why She Loves Planning:
“I love bringing our clients’ visions and mood boards to life! My favorite part is getting creative with their favorite food and drinks, tailoring those meaningful details so their event is a perfect reflection of who they are.”
“To kick off the morning, I go for double espressos, specifically plain espresso in a small, stylish cup. Then, during the ceremony, a Kiwi Guava Celsius gives me that extra spark to power through the night!”
“Identify what matters most to the two of you! Even if catering isn’t the top priority, that information is valuable; if you’d rather invest in a specific photographer and keep the food simple yet tasty, I can help you achieve that perfectly! Conversely, if the culinary experience is your main focus, we can dedicate a larger portion of the budget there. Let’s explore creative options like custom martini bars or unique appetizer stations. Pinpointing specific “must-haves,” like signature chicken and waffle cones, allows us to refine the menu and meet your budget targets by saving on less critical items like salad selections.”
Rebecca Wowk
Production Coordinator
Rebecca began her hospitality career coordinating campus events at SUNY Geneseo and working with Lessing’s Hospitality, eventually expanding into full-scale event production across corporate, private, and wedding markets. She specializes in comprehensive event design and management, drawing on deep connections with Rochester’s premier vendor network. Her approach focuses on leveraging her extensive local industry relationships and diverse design background to seamlessly bring her clients’ unique wedding and milestone visions to life.
“I love making sure our clients feel truly taken care of! My goal is to keep them clear on what’s important at every stage so we’re easing their wedding planning stress, never adding to it. Having worked directly as a wedding planner, I’m passionate about stepping in as a supportive helping hand whenever and wherever they need me.”
“Interactive action stations are my favorite… they provide fantastic entertainment for guests!”
“Plan together and be present as best you can! This day is about your story: where it started, where it is, and where it is going. Enjoy learning about each other and growing together during the planning phase; it is an exciting time filled with new opportunities.”
Brianna Susz

Since then, Partyman Catering has been instrumental in refining her professional approach. She is deeply passionate about this industry and finds that she truly thrives in its dynamic, ever-evolving environment.
Why She Loves Planning:
“I enjoy the entire planning process, especially the communication and connection with our clients. My favorite moments are getting to know their favorites and ensuring that every detail important to them is accurately relayed to our team and incorporated into the event plan.”
What Is the Most Rewarding Part of Your Job?
“Nothing beats the feeling of going through client testimonials and seeing our team recognized for their precision and dedicated care.”
In One Sentence, What Do You Want Every Client to Feel When They Work With You?
“My primary objective is for every client to feel fully heard and supported through each step of their journey with us.”

Culinary arts have always brought her immense joy, with a standout highlight being the opportunity to prepare Anne Burrell’s mise en place for a seminar and meeting her personally—she shares that “it was a truly incredible experience!”
“Helping clients enjoy their events by alleviating their stress is what I find most fulfilling. I take pride in being a dependable partner who ensures the entire planning journey is smooth and effortless.”
“Interactive dessert stations like custom s’mores bars and mobile cannoli carts.”
