About Us

YAY Concierge was founded on the desire to enrich people’s lives through joyful moments experienced from the comforts of their homes. We aim to momentarily transform our customer’s living spaces into energetic cocktail lounges, wine cellars or chef’s kitchens during their hosted virtual gathering.

From advanced sommeliers to distinguished chefs, YAY Concierge has an expansive list of knowledgeable hospitality industry partners who take pride in their craft and joyfully sharing their passion. Many tourism professionals were impacted in the wake of COVID-19. Our founder Damaris Messina saw that her new company could help to provide her hospitality colleagues with an additional stream of revenue as co-hosts to each virtual gathering.

Each virtual experience gathers learners and sharers who are united by the mere joy of trying something new. With a joy-driven mission, we make it our responsibility to treat every experience as if it’s our very own and every customer as if they are our only customer.
