Noemy Benitez
My name is Noemy (no-emmy) and I was born and raised in Richmond, VA. Although I was born and raised here, I am Salvadoran-American, proud of my heritage and the vibrant culture it brings to my life. After graduating from Virginia Tech with my degree in Real Estate and Property Management in 2021, I set out for a new adventure in Miami, Florida. There, I had the opportunity to work as a property manager for a Fortune 500 REIT, an exciting role that allowed me to showcase my skills and expertise in the industry.
While I enjoyed my career in property management, there was always a lingering feeling inside of me that something was missing. Throughout my life, I have always had a passion for hosting events and gathering with my loved ones. From Wine Wednesdays to Brunch Sundays and even Taco Tuesdays, I have always been the one to create memorable experiences for those around me. My friends, although teasingly labeling me as "extra", appreciated the attention to detail I put into every spread and made sure that everything was visually stunning and aesthetically pleasing. It was simply my way of sharing my love for creating unforgettable moments.
When I made the decision to move back to my hometown of Richmond, Virginia, I knew it was the perfect opportunity to pursue my dream of starting my own company. And thus, the concept of Bar-Ella Mobile Bar was born. Combining my experience in bartending, having spent 5 years working in my family's restaurant, with my innate love for socializing and building relationships, I decided to create a mobile bar service that would bring joy and sophistication to any event.
The name "Bar-Ella" holds a special significance to me. I wanted a name that could effortlessly be pronounced in both of my languages, English and Spanish, while also embodying the essence of my woman-owned business. That's when I came up with "Ella", which translates to "Her" in Spanish, perfectly symbolizing the strength and uniqueness of my business. It's a name that conveys simplicity, elegance, and authenticity - just like the service I strive to provide.
At Bar-Ella, every event is a labor of love and passion. I pour my heart into every detail, ensuring that the drinks are not only expertly crafted but also complement the overall ambiance. I strive to create an unforgettable experience for every client, one that will be etched in their memories for years to come. It brings me immense joy to be invited into someone's special occasion and to play a part in creating those cherished moments.
So, if you choose Bar-Ella to be a part of your next event, know that I will be dedicated to exceeding your expectations. From personalized drink menus to impeccable service, I will work tirelessly to ensure that your event is nothing short of exceptional. Let's embark on this journey together and create unforgettable memories that will be cherished for a lifetime.
