What's the weirdest request you've ever gotten?



People always ask us at Fini Concierge, “What’s the weirdest request you’ve ever gotten?” We often struggle to find an answer because we honestly don’t find our client’s requests strange…for the most part they are just projects that come up in people’s everyday lives.

On the other hand, there are definitely projects that we wouldn’t have been able to imagine that we would have been tasked with.

Below is a list of the top 10 most common requested projects and a top 5 of projects that we wouldn’t have imagined.

10 Most Requested Projects:

  • Dry Cleaning
  • Groceries
  • Car Service
  • Hire home contractor i.e. plumber, electrician, handyman
  • Book an airline or hotel reservation
  • Organizing a room or closet
  • Waiting for a home contractor i.e. cable tech, furniture deliveries, security company
  • Gift ideas and purchasing i.e. birthdays, hostess, corporate gifts
  • Peace of mind check in on homes while owners are out of town
  • Coordinating home moves

5 Projects We Wouldn’t Have Imagined We’d Have The Chance to Work On:

  • Purchasing a messenger pigeon for a client
  • Meeting the top of a wedding cake that was shipped on a bus (with no passenger) and delivering it for a couple’s first wedding anniversary
  • Providing player support to the Boston Lobster’s Professional Tennis Team
  • Recruiting and hiring support for vacancies at client’s companies
  • Leasing a car for a client
