I Highly Recommend!

I have absolutely no complaints at all with Beth's Party Service!

I decided to get servers last minute, and was able to book within 2 weeks of my event.
From the minute I inquired about servers, Beth was prompt with her responses, upfront and clear about the services they provide and their VERY AFFORDABLE fees.

There was a blizzard the day before my event. So, we had to reschedule. Thankfully, Beth stayed in touch as the day approached, and she was available the following week.

Beth and Linda arrived promptly at the scheduled time, dressed to impress, and jumped right in to assist...greatly easing my mind with their professionalism and suggestions.

During the event, they were EXTREMELY polite and attentive....especially to my Husband--as it was his birthday party.

Overall, Beth and Linda were an added asset to my event and they left a lasting impression on all of my guests. I highly recommend Beth's Party Services! We will be using their services again!!!...soon.

Thank you again Beth and Linda!!!

Beth's Party Service is a life saver!

Beth has worked for me since 2014 helping out with a variety of functions at both our home and office. I have said it time and time again, "I would never host another party or holiday without Beth's help." We have hired her for Baptisms, Thanksgivings, birthdays, office parties etc. She and her staff are professional, friendly, hardworking, knowledgable, organized and just a pleasure to work with. It is so nice to host a party knowing a I can actually sit down and socialize with my guests and enjoy the event knowing that Beth has everything handled. She and her staff can execute any task assigned whether it is bartending, prepping food, serving guests, etc. Don't hesitate to hire Beth's Party Service for your next event. You will not regret it.

Always a great help!

Beth has worked for us for 3 different events at 2 different homes and she is always a huge help and service to me. She arrives early, took directions well and got to work! This is always the time I am running upstairs to finally get ready for the party but I know everything is in good hands with her. Beth is lovely. My guests always comment how good she is…how friendly she is. Beth works hard and stays late. At different parties and at different times she’s prepped for, cooked food, replenished food, bartended and cleaned. She works hard and always goes above and beyond. I would recommend her to others for sure.

Again, get what you pay for.

To be honest, I was not satisfied with Beth. While she stated she arrives early to the event, many of our guests were in place and she arrived late (1 hour to be exact)!

She was not professional in her pour and many of our guests said her drinks were not consistent and far too much alcohol for a 9 ounce drink.

My guests complained to me. Even still, my guests tipped quite generously. When the event was over, Beth was immediately requesting her payment as well as travel and additional gratuities. I took care of both as I hold to my word. But I would not recommend Beth.

On the other hand, we received complements for Irene the waitstaff. She was pleasant, arrived early and went over and beyond what was expected! Gracious, thoughtful and attentive to our guests.

She was a joy to work with!

This is Beth
I'm replying to this review, I've been in business since 2008, and this is only the second review in all the reviews I got that was unsatisfactory
I did this party with Irene,
I drove to this event 1 + 1/2 hrs away from my home, and there was a accident that put me behind schedule .
I had told the host what happened and he was glad it wasn't me in the accident and that it was OK since the party hadn't start yet. He had just arrived to the party location 5 mins before I did
When I arrived, there were only 3 guests there
I set up the bar quickly and even when the bar was set up, noone asked for a drink yet, until almost 1/2 hr later
The guests were telling me how well as I doing so I'm not sure why he said they complained to him There was one guest, that told me how good my margaritas were and drank about 5 of them There was still alot of alcohol left, and probably wouldn't have been if I gave large amounts that he said I did
I only stopped serving drinks, towards the end of the party, because they had ran out of
plastic glasses for me to make them in. Also he said my drinks were not consistent, I'm a great bartender it's hard to make good drinks without the proper items which he didn't buy, I sent him a shopping list too.
As for the payment, he came to me asking me how much he owed us about 1/2 hr before we had everything cleaned up , I didn't tell him until he asked me too .I gave him the amount and took money off because of my lateness
I got there at 5 and was scheduled for 430 so I was only 1/2 hr late and we were scheduled till 930 and didn't leave till 1050
We didn't leave until we cleaned up which was 20 mins after the time he paid us for
So I'm really confused about this review When we left everyone said Thank you, great job
On Thanksgiving, we will be working our 2900th party, and I don't think I would have done that many parties if clients were unhappy with my services.
And I would be happy to give money back if ask
