Why Our Partners Love Us

Anni McNulty

Anni has spent more than 25 years working in hospitality, building relationships and helping restaurants become places people choose for meaningful gatherings. Through McNulty Events, Anni has partnered with a wide range of restaurant groups and hospitality teams, supporting private dining, catering, and events programs for concepts connected to groups such as 4 Star Restaurant Group, Sage Restaurant Group, Fabio Viviani Hospitality, Tavistock Restaurant Collection, Mainstay Hospitality Group, The Palm Restaurant Group, Restaurants America Group, and Pangea Restaurant Group. In each case, her role has been collaborative, working alongside operators and teams to build sales and events strategies that fit the realities of service.

Anni’s superpower is people. She has an uncanny ability to walk into a room and already know who to call, who can help, and how to bring the right people together. She’s the kind of teammate who will pause her own work to help someone else out of the weeds, and if she’s not the right person to solve a problem, she knows exactly who is.

Anni helps hospitality teams clarify their sales approach, streamline execution, and build programs that feel organized, thoughtful, and human. She believes the best sales work doesn’t feel like selling, it feels like good hospitality, supported by strong relationships and clear communication.

Why Our Partners Trust Us

Words cannot express how many times Anni had saved me from complete event disasters. I can always count on her to find me a venue, a chef, a private dining space, a guest speaker, a VIP experience for our athletes, any and everything. Anni is my go-to person on all things Chicago and her expertise in hospitality makes my job a whole lot easier.

Brian Rider - Chicago Fire FC
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Anni throughout both of our careers. I’ve always been able to send my vip clients to Anni with confidence, knowing they will be taken care of & be satisfied with their events & the hospitality provided. Anni stays current with trends & who’s who in the city.

Nicki Malhotra - Jones Lang LaSalle
Anni is a JOY to work with. She is very well-known in the industry and is a master at building relationships. I haven't encountered anyone in this industry who doesn't rave about Anni's personality, sense of humor, and integrity. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the flow of restaurants, private events, the sales process, managing teams, and relationship building.

Angela Zoiss - Bottleneck Hospitality
Anni! Thank you for continued professionalism and ability to leverage relationships to drive business to our companies. Working with you has been a pleasure. Thank you!!

Anthony Sandstrom - Xcellence Hospitality
If you want someone who can sell the vision, execute the details, and still keep the room smiling—Anni is your person. I’ve had the chance to work alongside Anni at Sage Hospitality and again at Fabio Viviani Hospitality, and she’s one of those rare hospitality pros who’s equally strong on relationships and results. She can walk into a room of owners, chefs, planners, and partners, read the temperature quickly, and get everyone moving in the same direction—without ego, without noise, and with follow-through that’s genuinely uncommon.

John Williams - Axoh Hospitality
Under Anni’s leadership, our private dining business was stronger than it had ever been—and, quite honestly, it never fully recovered after she left. She combines strong sales instincts with a sharp eye for marketing, builds authentic relationships, and consistently delivers results through hard work and reliability. Just as important, Anni is a natural leader. She trains and supports others, cares deeply about people, and brings professionalism, integrity, and warmth to everything she does. She is an all-around great human being and an invaluable asset to any organization.

David Murphy - Director of Food & Beverage Sage Hospitality
I had the privilege of working with Anni during my time at Fabio Viviani hospitality and she was such a pleasure to work with. She was a team player and I could always count on her when I needed her the most. She’s a hard worker and takes her responsibilities extremely seriously. Anni’s the type of woman you want on your team. Bottom line!

Henry Kaminski - Brand to Table
Anni is one of those leaders you’re genuinely lucky to learn from. She has a strong handle on hospitality as a whole, from operations to service standards to team leadership, but what really stands out is how she supports and develops the people around her.
