About our owner

Tara Lee DelVecchio is the founder and driving force behind Atlas Event Staff, bringing more than 35 years of hands‑on experience in the catering and events world. She has worked in nearly every role—from the fast-paced rhythm of the kitchen to the thoughtful care of client-facing service—giving her a rare, full-picture understanding of what makes an event feel effortless.

Her career has been built on determination, consistency, and a genuine love for hospitality. Over the decades, Tara has partnered with dozens of caterers, event planners, venues, food service companies, and hundreds of private clients, earning a reputation for professionalism, trust, and heart.

Tara’s ability to recognize talent is one of her greatest strengths. She personally selects every member of the Atlas team, choosing individuals who reflect her values of warmth, integrity, and reliability. Many staff members have been with her for more than five years, and some for nearly thirty—a testament to the supportive environment she creates. She takes pride in matching the right team to each event, ensuring clients feel understood, cared for, and genuinely delighted with their experience.

While Fairfield County has been her professional home for most of her career, Tara is equally connected to the Shoreline and Greater New Haven communities. Her long-standing relationships are rooted in patience, experience, and mutual respect, and she has continually adapted to the industry’s evolution while raising the bar for thoughtful service.

Whether staffing a gala for hundreds or an intimate dinner for a handful of guests, Tara brings the same calm leadership, care, and professionalism. With Atlas, clients benefit from her decades of expertise, her trusted team, and her unwavering commitment to making every event seamless and memorable.
