Rich and his family did a great job bartending at my son's wedding in May. It was an open bar wedding and they were very quick in making the drinks on order and great in the planning communication. He has a great personality to keep the guests rolling, which is important. They helped with other activities at the wedding as well in addition to bartending. Good fun with him. You can't go wrong with him. Cheers.
Details: Wedding • 201 - 300 guests

Mike was our bartender for our wedding and HE WAS AMAZING! He was attentive to all of our guests and to the needs of my wife and I. He not only bartended at the bar but he also went above and beyond to go around to tables and ask what drinks people were in need of. He was even willing to help us clean up as well, he emptied and dried all the coolers, and stacked extra beer and wine so it would be easier for us to get our of our venue in time. Mike was extremely professional, kind, and attentive. I highly recommend them for your event. They also offer really great bang for your buck as well. Thanks a million to Mike and R&B Event Staffing for adding such a wonderful element to our wedding!

R&B Party and Event did a wonderful job. Richard was great, not only was he a great bartender, he engaged with the crowd, he even helped with setup with food. My family totally enjoyed him. I will definitely be using their services again. Ask for Richard to bartend your next event! He definitely delivers! Oh and he also dressed for our family reunion theme. “ Boots on the ground”! It was a night to remember!

We contracted R&B Party & Event Staffing from Thomtak for bartending services over the weekend, and the experience was outstanding. The bartender was extremely professional, attentive, and genuinely helpful throughout the event. He engaged well with our guests, kept the bar running smoothly, and brought great energy to the atmosphere. Everyone commented on how much they enjoyed his service. I highly recommend R&B Party & Event Staffing and would gladly book them again.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
My wife and I went to bartending school in White Plains years ago... but frankly our experience and outgoing personalities are what really make us successful caterers/ bartenders it is why we have so many repeat customers.

We have been bartending over 20 years. We’ve been doing private parties and have also started catering
