Natalie Marsh, Director of First Impressions

In second grade, Natalie was 9 nine years old, her favorite color was green and when she grew up she wanted to be waitress. Then she had just that opportunity, and more, serving the people of Denver, since her first hosting job at the age of 15. She moved up the chain of restaurant command to server, bartender, and manager. Her food knowledge flourished as well as an uncanny ability to anticipate her client's needs. She is now a student at Red Rocks Community College, gaining more knowledge to use to the advantage of her customers. As Director of First Impressions with Lifestyles Catering, she has the opportunity to assist those who are planning the happiest day of their lives.

 

Lawrence French, Proprietor

Entertaining and cooking has been his passion from a young age. At 16 he catered an authentic Swedish Smorgasbord for 30 guests. After a short tour of duty in the kitchen, he found that the "front of the house" is where his passion is. So, he channeled his love of food and entertaining into a career by aquiring a degree in Hospitality Management. Since, he has worked in Restaurants and Hotel Banquets until he started Lifestyles Catering in 1995.

"I enjoy catering because unlike a restaurant where you seat the same dining room night after night, catering is always different; different menu, different location, different celebration every time we go out of our shop."

Gregory Sargowicki, Director of Marketing

In Poland they have a saying,
                                                     “Gość w dom, Bóg w dom”
Which translates to:
                             "When a guest is in the home, God is in the home."
Gregory was born and raised in Warsaw, Poland and immigrated to the United States in 1983. Poland is known for its culture of open and generous hospitality. Gregory brings this tradition and his love of entertaining to Lifestyles Catering. He also brings his unique abilities of marketing and promotion to the sales team spreading the word of what Lifestyles Catering's unique style of catering is.
