Duncan Reyes

My successful career all began as a Corporate Event Planner until my tenure as Catering Manager for luxury hotels such as The Portman Hotel and The Pan Pacific Hotel San Francisco, The Fairmont Hotel San Francisco & Chicago, General Manager of The Julia Morgan Ballroom at The Merchants Exchange, and most recently at the historic Westin St. Francis Hotel San Francisco as the Catering Manager for Weddings & Social Events. Impressive accolades have given me the credentials to be recognized as an Independent Food Editor, Restaurant Critic and a Contributing Writer for San Francisco, Chicago and New York media publications. Spanning almost 30 years in Wedding, Corporate and Social Event Planning, my passion has taken me to new career heights that led me to create F.

In january 2009, I was honored by the San Francisco Business Times as one of the top 100 New Businesses for 2009 and as published in their “Book of Lists 2009”. I am an active member of The National Association of Catering Executives-San Francisco Chapter (NACE), and was voted last April 2010 as NACE's“Member of the Year” 2010. Committed to creating special events that are as distinctive as my clientele, I create and execute flawless affairs with sophistication and panache yet with a personable approach that represent their own unique style, exceeding expectations for the planning and design experience. The myriad of Weddings, Corporate and Social Events & Fundraisers accommodate all requests large and small with a touch of class. With years of experience conceptualizing ideas, themes and budgets for all events, my capabilities and resources are endless in an effort to create memories that will last a lifetime.
