Michael Cintron
FOUNDER & SENIOR EVENT COORDINATOR
I can remember my first job in the food service industry, working as a server in a bakery and coffee shop. I enjoyed the conversations, the client relationships, and the joy a cup of coffee and a crumb cake could bring. It was then that I knew that I was meant to serve others and bring them a little taste of happiness. Over the years I was introduced to many experiences in the hospitality industry, but one thing has always remained… make ‘em smile. Whether I was pouring cocktails or serving food, cooking meals or cleaning fish, making ‘em smile was my motivation. I have been fortunate to be able to employ this same mindset in my other profession, as I teach locally. To me it is simple, when we enjoy what we do and we show it, others can’t help but to join in… smiles are contagious!
Heather
My service experience dates back to my teenage years, where I worked for my mother, Moonie, and family at the old Co-Op Seafood, a shore staple for generations. The lessons learned there have guided me through life… treat people well, with a smile and a commitment to ensuring the highest quality of service and products. Michael and I have embarked upon a journey that enables us to employ all of the life lessons we have learned over the years… that is, when you are honest, respectful and dedicated to excellence, people will appreciate your commitment service.
Melissa
I have worked in the food industry since I was a teenager . I began in fast food before taking an opportunity to work in Ocean Medical Center’s kitchen, later moving into the service role at Harpoon Willys. I have enjoyed the challenges of working in both the front and back of the house, as the demands of each are very rewarding. Most recently, I’ve been working in the cafeterias of Brick Schools, as a mom of six this has been ideal. My years of experience have led me to believe in teamwork. It ensures that everyone is on the same page, working towards a common goal of providing a positive dining experience for all of our clients.
Cindi
I am proud to say that I am a natural caregiver. As a mother of two, a teacher and a waitress, I take great pride in providing excellent service, care and attention to detail. My service experience has lasted for the better part of three decades, and I enjoy the hustle and making people happy. Enjoying good food and company is as rewarding as it gets!
Joe
I started in the service industry when I was 15, flipping burgers at the Golden Arches. From there I moved on to busing tables at the old Pettersons, then cooking at the Co-Op , followed by bartending at Red Lobster. I loved meeting new people as well as having that regular that came to see you.
I’ve worn many hats in my life ranging from landscaping, graphic design for the Asbury Park Press, working in organ and tissue recovery; and currently Materials Manager for a surgery center. In all these positions what I’ve learned is that a commitment to a job done well is what sets us apart from those just doing a job.
Serving, grilling, bartending and making people happy; this hippie loves having fun and that’s what life is all about.
Avery
I’ve been in the food service industry since the age of 17. I began as a food runner before cocktail serving at the Wharfside Patio Bar in Point Pleasant Beach, NJ. While in college, I served in restaurants as I earned both my undergraduate degree and my Masters in Communication Disorders. During the year, I work as a speech language pathologist in a local school district, while I continue to serve and bartend at the Jersey Shore during the summer months. I really enjoy the summer and meeting new people while “working” events! It’s never really “work” if you’re having fun.
Angela
The “seeds of service" were sewn into me at a very young age, as my grandmother ran a catering hall in Bayonne, New Jersey called, "The Barn". I can remember being handed tiny tasks, such as folding napkins or setting the tables when I was little. When I turned 18 I was told to "sink or swim". Luckily I didn't drown. I loved what I did! From there I pursued a career in hospitality leading me to Charlie Brown's in Brielle as a server and manager and later the Brick Township Schools District as a Senior Food Service Worker. I am proud to have earned state food handling certifications.
Taking care of and assisting others to meet their needs has been the highlight of my days. Today, I am excited to be working for the most amazing company, Cintron's Coastal Catering! I look forward to helping our clients with their service needs. Helping to make your party a great success.
Amanda
One of the first life lessons I can remember learning from my father is “the customer is always right.” I grew up in the food and service industry, with my family owning Lenny’s Markets at the beautiful Jersey Shore. My first “job” was as a cashier at 5 years old when I would stand on a milkcrate to reach the register. I quickly learned the value of building relationships with customers, which has become my favorite part of serving. I spent 8 summers at Martell’s Tiki Bar as a server in their restaurant, at their beach bar and working private parties, ranging from BBQs to weddings. My love for building connections with others has led me to becoming a high school Interventionist, after teaching middle school English for 9 years! I cannot wait to get back to serving and to continue making people smile!
Alex
I have been in the food service industry since the age of 19. I started as a server in a bar/restaurant up near Montclair State. That summer I started serving and learning how to bartend at the shore. I started bartending at Beignets which is now Hemmingway’s in Seaside. I’ve served and bartended in pub type settings as well fine dining establishments. Each place has afforded me the opportunity to become a well rounded employee as well as taught me that service is key. I am super fortunate to have worked with some incredible people and I’m looking forward to working with all the great people here
Paul
I’ve been in the food service and entertainment business from the time I began bartending at Paparazzi in Washington, DC (1996), which led me to bartending and serving locally at Harpoon Willy’s. I have had the opportunity to serve in different areas of service such as fine dining, catering, as well as the pub style atmosphere. Each and every experience has taught me that the staff and service are key components to creating an enjoyable, one-of-a-kind experience for all of our guests.

I had a great experience and will definitely be using this company in the future. They are very professional, kind and helpful. The drinks were excellent. Everyone loved them. Michael was great to work with and my guests stated multiple times how awesome of a bartender he was. He suggested the Cintron’s Coastal Margarita and it was a hit. If you are considering using them, I definitely would!

By far the best for all your event needs. Cintron’s has ran all my parties for the past year and I will never throw one without them. Bartenders, food, clean up they do it all and some. If you want to have the best event worry free. Call them!
John Vagueiro
Cintron’s Coastal Catering is the most professional service I have EVER encountered. The process and presentation is immaculate and well organized from start to finish. It starts with the knowledge and preparation weeks in advance. This includes very a detailed plan which the team outlines from an on site visit to scout the best area for set up along with a conference call to assess Best drink and food options available at the host preference. This is done with little effort to the Host which is important to me when I’m running a party or event. The team is exceptionally professional with great attitudes and having the ability to perform the services at a very high level, while helping the guests feel welcome because of their great personalities,teamwork and hospitality. The team is very easy to work with and helpful toward the end of the night as well. Once they are finished the area was Cleaner than when we started the party. Im giving 10 stars out of 5!! I am EXTREMELY HAPPY and thankful for the experience in using Cintron’s Coastal Catering services. I recommend this service to everyone that is hosting a party.
