Sheena S Kalso, Owner & Lead Hostess

I began The Invisible Hostess over 2 years ago after inspiration struck during an exhausting party in my home. Trapped in the kitchen, unable to greet guests and having a constant eye on food and beverage, I was not enjoying the party and desperately thought: “Why can’t I hire someone to do this?”

The vision of The Invisible Hostess is to provide that little (or big) support you need to completely enjoy entertaining. The “curse” of being a fantastic host or hostess is that you don’t get to spend the quality time with your guests that you would like because your attention is commanded elsewhere. The Invisible Hostess eliminates that factor and allows you to really enjoy the fruits of your labor.

During our 2 years, we’ve expanded to Wedding Day coordination, have added a few Hostesses (still haven’t had an “hosts” inquire!), and are now adding event staffing!

As you begin to plan and think about your next party, consider what a relief it would be to have an extra set of hands. I look forward to helping you prepare for your special event!

Cheers!
Sheena

With designing as her strength, we're naturally having her work up to wedding assistance and is currently an experienced reception coordinator and home celebration specialist! You'll adore McKenzie's sweet and helpful attitude as well as her discerning eye to help you execute a beautiful event.
