Our Story

Iliana Ortega

Co-Founder of Legendary Event Staff & Entertainment

Prior to founding Legendary, my experience as a catering manager for a leading U.S. food service company revealed systemic issues in staffing. Recurring challenges included inadequately skilled workers, poor procedural knowledge, and communication gaps with agencies. These deficiencies often led to last-minute staffing crises and compromising event quality. Industry-wide consultations confirmed the pervasiveness of these problems, inspiring the creation of our solution-oriented approach.
