The One Service You Don’t Want to Forget

While your party certainly cannot happen without you, there are some other notable people that are necessary beyond an officiant and guests. If your party location or catering package does not include servers, you’ll need to hire wait staff and bartenders.

Service staff truly are the heroes of all celebrations. They operate in the background by helping with set up before the event, clearing tables, restocking the food displays during service, and cleaning up at the end. If you haven’t made arrangements with your caterer or planner/coordinator, they can also be tasked with cutting and distributing the cake to your guests.

Certified bar staff should be hired to serve any alcoholic beverages to guests. This includes specialty drinks, mixed drinks, beer and wine. They will keep the area clean and help manage guest consumption. When interviewing bartending companies, you will want to verify that the staff will stay with the alcohol at ALL times until it is released to an individual of the wedding party at the end of the evening. They should also be TABC Certified, part of the American Bartending Association and fully insured.

The great thing about event staffing companies is that they can often fulfill all of your event staffing needs. An expert event staffing company can help you identify your needs based on the number of guests, venue, and event type. We normally recommend the industry standard of 1 member of staff per 10-12 guests for a plated dinner or 1 member of staff for every 30 guests for passed items like hors d’oeuvres.
