I booked Tee to help with a retirement ceremony for around 100 people. From the start she was responsive, professional, and communication in general was easy. On the day of the event Tee and Kaliyah arrived early and immediately jumped into action. She needed very little direction (but asked questions when needed) and handled everything perfectly. Multiple guests commented on how “on top of things” Tee was. The ceremony ran longer than expected, and they agreed to add an hour to help with breakdown and cleanup. Do not hesitate to book Tee. She and Kaliyah went above and beyond.

Love Shane!

Loved Shane while she was there. She had someone else take over for her right as the event started and he was lovely but needed a lesson in performing his duties in a timely manner. He kept interjecting himself with the guests and was asked a few times to remove himself while eating and company group pictures were being taken. He spoke out and stated he used to be an Event planner and that he never would have set things up the way they were not realizing he was talking in front of the actual planner that hired him. Totally unprofessional. Sorry, for the rough review. I didn’t want to leave it but you kept sending me the link. I will keep Shane in mind for future events.

Najah did such a wonderful job helping us with our wedding celebration at our family's home. She took charge from the moment she arrived, made the event run so smoothly, helped with the clean-up and organizing after and was so thoughtful and attentive. We are so glad we made the decision to hire Tee Creative Hospitality to help at our event. We would hire them and Najah again in a heartbeat!

About booking Waitstaff in Washington, DC

The key to successful event planning is finding the right event staff to make sure your special occasion runs smoothly. Whether you’re organizing a large corporate event, a wedding reception, or just a private party, you should hire wait staff to handle your meal and bartending services. Event staffing companies can provide professional waiters, servers, and additional staff to handle everything from setup to cleanup.

The cost for hiring waitstaff for events in Washington, District Of Columbia will vary depending on the size of the event, the number of guests, and the specific services you need. For example, a sit-down dinner with multiple courses will often require more staff members than a self-serve buffet. Contact waitstaff companies above to get quotes customized for your special event.

While browsing Washington waitstaff companies, spend time looking through each profile. Read service descriptions and look at photos to learn more about what they offer and what type of events they’ve serviced in the past. It can also be very helpful to read reviews from other event planners to see if they are easy to work with. When you find a few options, request quotes and begin discussing the details of the event to see if they can accommodate your needs.

Once you decide on the waitstaff you want to hire, finalize the booking with GigSalad. Our easy-to-use platform will create a booking agreement between you and the staffing service. You’ll make a secure payment through the site and will be protected by our Worry-Free Guarantee.
