Our Team
Matt Rachocki
Matt was born and bred in a small town in Northwestern Pennsylvania and at the age of eighteen, headed to NYC for a change of scenery. While in college, he made it a priority to travel, work, and study across the globe. These experiences, along with the desire to inspire drastic change within the hospitality industry, fueled the creation of Choice Productions. But Matt wasn’t ready to stop there. Using his newfound entrepreneurial passion, he entered the bar and restaurant business in his hometown. By transforming an old schoolhouse into a tavern, a deteriorating historical landmark became a preserved hangout unlike any other. With the help of his brother, he then ventured into the craft beer industry and became an owner of Voodoo Brewery. Voodoo now operated two pubs and restaurants with a food truck and distributes selectively across the country. Currently, Matt, with the help of his wife, is dabbling in the interior design market by bringing their creations and furniture making to events and homes near you. Matt credits much of his success as a young entrepreneur to his outstanding support base of family, friends, staff, and clientele.
Anna Rachocki
While pursuing a career as an indie musician, Anna received a BS in Communication Arts and Business from St. John’s University and worked part-time in the hospitality industry. In 2011, she released her debut album, “Friction in Some Direction” on her own indie label, Dank Records, and went on tour in the Northeast region. When not handling the accounting side of Choice Productions, Anna can be found at home raising and educating Matt’s and her two boys on their 19.2 acre homestead in the woods, and occasionally writing about it on her personal blog, at Home Steady Life .
Hannah Sharkey
Hannah, raised on a small island on Lake Erie (Ohio) traded it in for the Big Apple 11 years ago. Thereon she dove right into the fast-paced world of NYC events. She has executed nearly every kind of event you could imagine (and some you probably couldn’t) across the board for a myriad of clients ranging from large corporate companies to non-profit organizations to start-ups, restaurants, hoteliers and real estate brokers—you name it, she’s always up for collaborating and creating experiences that are both beautiful and purposeful. As an artist at heart, she also brings a unique creative approach and detailed sensibility to her work and genuinely loves doing whatever it takes to help bring her client’s visions to life.
