Introduction: Weddings, Birthday Parties, Quinceanera, Baby Shower, Engagement Party, corporate show help - We do them all ! Service from formal sit down dinner ( Passover for example) to more casual buffet. You have a favorite restaurant or food catering service deliver and we will plate it all up beautifully or set up buffet. We pass appetizers, serve the guests, pick up plates/glasses and clear tables and then do a dessert/cake service. Best part? we clean up the kitchen/venue so it's spotless! I have a team of up to 12, five are licensed bartenders. Let me know level of service/number of guests and we've got you covered even if it's just one (me) ! **** adding in that WE HAVE A 4 HOUR MINIMUM per server. We are licensed and insured, have the liq. liability insurance ***** hourly rate is $30 per hour with the 4 hour min = $120 per server/bar (Holidays $35 per hour) If I'm bartending, I'll be happy to send a suggested list of liquor and supplies to buy so you don't overbuy and have what's needed on hand . You'll save money , your guests will be waited on hand and foot and you actually get to enjoy your own party instead of running around serving and cleaning up. Note: Please don't request dates unless serious, as Thumbtack charges me a fee when you ask for availability, whether I get the job or not, they still charge me. Invite the guests and I will handle the rest! FLY FIRST CLASS! Former flight attendant , love people and can handle a crowd with ease ....smiling all the time ! I've been doing bartending /catering for years-in Miami and now here in Central Florida. Rate: $30per hour/ per server ( we have a *4 hour minimum) No charge for travel time unless located more than one hour away -like the Villages. Yes, I will drive to the Villages but I must add a gas/travel fee of an extra hour. I bring extra serving utensils, ice bucket, platters if needed. Adding: We now require a small deposit ( $20 min ) to "save the date" due to people reserving a date then cancelling. It is refundable day of service. It is not refundable if you cancel. This can be done via zelle, cash app or here on Thumbtack using the "stripe" app. If your venue ( like Trinity) demands insurance coverage ( which not required in the state of Florida) an additional non refundable deposit of $26 is required to pay for this coverage. Relax and enjoy your guests! We've GOT THIS ! :-) Paula

Catering To Your Needs served at my son's wedding reception in my backyard. The owner Paula was wonderful to work with. She is wonderful to work with and provided a lot of great advice prior to my event. Daphne, Journey, and Darrin were the team that served at the event and they were AMAZING!!! They were punctual, polite, and went above and beyond to make this event a success. My daughter is getting married in November and I've already reserved them for that event. I HIGHLY recommend them for your next event!

Paula and her team did such amazing work for our May 4th wedding!! Everyone was hustling and was quick to fill in wherever help was needed! Worked well our coordinator as well :) I could not be happier!! They helped set up decor, handled the bar, refilled waters, and so much more! Most of all we felt like royalty during our wedding day! Do not hesitate to hire them for your event!

Indispensable! I’ll hire them again. Had a very last minute change in venue for 50 people and Paula was able to set us up with her finest…Darren. He knew exactly what to do and needed no oversight whatsoever. He was polite, professional, efficient, and flexible. Paula answered each message promptly. Advice? Go with Paula’s every suggestion…she knows the business and anticipated everything we needed…and I’ve been in charge of large family events for decades! Thank you Paula & Darren! Until next time…

Highly recommend Paula and her team! From the initial contact to the conclusion of service, everything was wonderful. We have hired party staff back in L.A. and never found anyone we would recommend. So it was even more meaningful to have such a great experience this time. Amanda and Theresa took all of the work off my hands and allowed me to really focus on mingling. They made the food presentation much better than i could've; and then there's the spectacular experience of realizing that they cleaned and packed everything. I need to find an excuse to throw a party just so i can hire them again. Thank you, Paula, Theresa, and Amanda!
