About Us
Once Upon A Party…
How it All Began
Our crazy story began as many adventures in life do… by jumping of a cliff and growing wings on our way down. This leap of believing in your ideas and intentions to create a better opportunity for everyone in our communities.
This is a story of two chefs (Juli y Juan’s Kitchen) and an event planner (Mountainside Events) who started two separate companies in 2015. Little by little we both started working together and co-creating events such a weddings, culinary-open-fire events in farms, private parties, corporate events and turn every opportunity into an unforgettable adventure.
With time we started having a great team of wonderful people who we saw was having a blast collaborating all together. The idea of creating a staffing company was born, but we were only staffing our events. The energy and word of our philosophy of teaching and working has spread around and suddenly we did not had enough events for everyone to work.
Starting 2020, we decided to launch it on its own and co-created NOCO Staffing. We hope to be able to open opportunities for the community to help create wonderful experiences for events and spread our philosophy of service with integrity, love, compassion, respect & personal growth. With the understanding that it is in us to keep creating a better world for our community.
We are very excited and we look forward to hear how it is that we can help you staff your event.
THE AWESOME TEAM!!
