Enjoy Your Own Party By Hiring Event Staff

October 28, 2019

Event staff serve food

Wedding season is winding down, and we are gearing up for house party season! Now, we aren’t talking about the kind of house parties you had in college. We’re talking about a more refined, private party, and how you can take it to the next level by hiring event staff or bartenders. 

We all know how stressful hosting can be—so many details, so little time! If you are already offering up your home for an event, why not ease the burden a bit? Whether you are planning family gatherings, a corporate holiday party, a private fundraiser, or an engagement party—hiring a few event professionals can help everything run smoothly. It also frees you up to actually enjoy your event!  

Here are the top ways event staff or bartenders can help you enjoy your private party. 

Help with Event Setup 

Event staff are your go-to helpers for party setup and management. We can install decor, set up tables and place settings, and help manage your other vendors. We’ll take care of the details, freeing you up to engage and have fun with your guests.

Serve Food Efficiently 

Planning a lovely cocktail party? Enhance the experience with one or more servers offering passed hors-d’oeuvres to your guests. Servers can also support a seated dinner or help set up for a buffet-style meal. Servers keep you out of the kitchen and bring a whole new level of class to your event. 

Offer Specialty Cocktails 

Add a unique touch to your event by offering a specialty cocktail, mixed and served by a professional bartender no less. Your guests will appreciate the delicious beverage without the hassle of making it themselves.

Ensure a Safe Drinking Environment

When you are hosting a private event and offering alcohol, you take on liability for the actions of your guests. Protect yourself by outsourcing to a licensed, insured bartender who will maintain a safe drinking environment and prevent over-consumption. Party on the Rocks is covered by a $1 million liability insurance policy and only hires professionally licensed bartenders.

Avoid the Cleanup 

After planning and hosting an event, we know that the last thing you want to do is deal with the cleanup. Event staff can do the dishes, take out the trash, and everything in-between. We work behind the scenes keeping everything running. At the end of the night, you won’t even be able to tell you had a party!

It was a pleasure to work with Josh. He was knowledgeable, professional yet social, and provided high quality service. He also was willing to go above and beyond to assist in the set up and clean-up of our event. I look forward to future events with Party on the Rocks and hope that we can request for Josh specifically for future events!

I had the honor of working with Party on the Rocks at a wedding recently and they are great! There were 300+ guests, and they were able to serve everyone quickly and efficiently. They arrived on time, handled all of the set up the bar areas, and were ready to go when the guests starting arriving. They were really accommodating during planning, quick to respond and really knew all of the details for the day. I'm excited to see such a great new bartending service in the area, and look forward to working with them again!

Party on the Rocks truly rocks. They were referred by our Day of coordinator and I'm so happy that she did. I can't express how hard this team works and also their level of customer service. Truly professional and I love the family feel. We had a great bartender and two servers. So accommodating and considerate. I would definitely recommended them to anyone.

We hired Party on the Rocks to provide setup, tear down, and server service for my daughter's wedding. Claire and her team were awesome. They were super friendly, observant, and provided spot-on service for our guests. Plates, glassware, etc. were picked up in a timely fashion, and they even went above and beyond and provided beverage service for my 87-year-old mother who couldn't stand in line at the bar! I would highly recommend Party on the Rocks and would hire them again! Thank you Claire and team!

I cannot more highly recommend this event company! They were easy to work with scheduling and everything went smoothly. Claire was amazing and no less than a dozen guests commented to me how awesome she was and very, very helpful. Thanks Party on the Rocks!!!

- Russell J.

These guys are the real deal. We worked together for a wedding and we were thrown tons of curve balls! But these guys rolled with all of the challenges with a smile on their face. Definitely recommend!!!

I worked with Party On the Rocks recently and their bartender KaDeana did such an amazing job. Guests were commenting on how amazing the drinks were, and the clients were so impressed with how clean everything was throughout the night!!

Claire and her team were so awesome. We hired Party on the Rocks to provide set up, tear down, and serving for my daughter's wedding. Their staff were super responsive, friendly and totally observant. In fact, they noticed that my 87-year-old mother's soda glass was empty, went to the bar and got her a fresh one, and brought it to her. She was thrilled and pleased! Above and beyond!

- Jessica C.

Try as I might I couldn't find a 6th star to click. Claire was wonderful to work with! I reached out to her about two months ahead of my wife's 50th birthday with a pleading, "Help I have to plan something epic and I'm unsure where to start!" From brilliant ideas, to managing absolutely everything, to the execution of an absolutely flawless event, Claire handled absolutely everything flawlessly. Ours was comparatively smaller than some of the other examples here with only about 40 guests. People were praising me throughout the incredible event and I routed all praise right to Claire. THANK YOU!

Party on the Rocks was a great addition to our wedding! During the planning process Brooke was very easy to work with and helped us with lists, drink ideas, etc. which was very helpful! For the day of our wedding our bartenders were Alexa, Dawn, and Lala. Our bar back was Shelly. Our wedding was fairly large (over 200 people) and they did a great job keeping the lines moving quickly and people served. Even with our wedding being on a day with a massive storm forcing us to only use a single bar vs the two bars we had planned. They just went with the bumps in the road and everyone had a great time! Highly recommend them for future events!

We're working with Brooke to set up our wedding reception and just met with her yesterday evening to finalize all details for our event staff. She's been phenomenal to work with, and I just wanted to drop you a quick note to let you know how great she's been. She's been professional and has helped us make sure every detail is well thought through, an absolute joy to work with.

Best bartending/service vendor
We had the absolute pleasure of working with POTR for our wedding, and we couldn’t have been more impressed! From the start, their professionalism, attention to detail, and friendly service made everything run smoothly. They created a fantastic bar experience that our guests are still raving about!
The cocktails were not only delicious but beautifully crafted, and the bartending team was efficient, personable, and made sure everyone was well taken care of. They went above and beyond to accommodate special requests and made the entire process stress-free. If you’re looking for a bartending service that is reliable, fun, and delivers exceptional drinks, look no further than POTR. Highly recommend!

So glad I hired Party on the Rocks!
Great experience w Party on the Rocks for my daughter's wedding (125 guests). The Team was professional, friendly and timely. They worked so well with my Sister as Wedding Coordinator I had no concerns during the event. Their help during clean up/tear down after the wedding was amazing and allowed me to get off my sore feet and appreciate. Would recommend to others.
