A third-generation hospitality family
Monique Spicer, Owner and Chief Experience Officer, founded A La Carte in 2008. Her family has served in butler-style roles for generations, and she brought that standard to private events across the tri-state area.
Her view of the work is simple: service is about creating a memorable experience, not just serving food.
Recognized in our own backyard
Five Best of Clinton Awards as an Executive Staffing Firm, plus a 2020 people’s choice award from Hunterdon County’s award program.
