Meet The Founder

Owner and founder of 11:11 Events & Co. Born and raised in the Inland Empire, I graduated from San Gorgonio High School (Go Spartans!) and began my journey in hospitality back in 2005 as a cashier at Niko Niko Sushi in Redlands. I quickly discovered my passion for service and moved up to become a waitress, where I found my niche in creating great guest experiences.

In 2007, I took on a new challenge at Canton Bistro, where I transitioned into bartending – and that's where everything changed. Bartending became more than a job; it became a passion that opened new opportunities and shaped my future.

When the venue closed in 2011, a new chapter began: I became a mom and joined the team at Dave & Buster’s. Over the next nine years, I advanced to become a Corporate Blue and Orange Trainer, helping open six new locations across the West Coast, including Arizona, California, Washington, and Alaska.

In 2020, like many, I was faced with change. I accepted a leadership position at Yaamava Resort & Casino, where I spent four years growing as a manager and leader. That experience gave me the confidence to take the leap and finally launch my own business.

11:11 Events & Co. was born out of a desire to create memorable, meaningful experiences. Whether you're a friend, family member, past colleague, or a new client – I’m excited to welcome you. From mobile bartending services and bar rentals to training and mentorship, I look forward to bringing your events to life with professionalism, creativity, and heart.

Cheers,

Lisa Tran
