February 24, 2026Great Service!
Demetria and Jasmine provided personable, attentive service during a house party I threw for my husband's 50th. Their presence afforded me the ability to spend time with my guests without worrying about drinks, food replenishment, and keeping areas tidy, What a weight off my shoulders. 100% would rebook with the Happiest Hostess!

November 3, 2024They Will Take Care of You!
Last minute hire to help with a DIY wedding reception. We could not have done it without the help of The Happiest Hostess! They know how to handle things and cover all the needs you didn’t consider.

I had bartenders and wait staff and they were amazing!! They were attentive and helped in anyway I needed them. They were punctual and cleaned up when they left. They were friendly and approachable. I would use them for any event!

About
Having been in the restaurant field for many years, I had the opportunity of helping with a private party. Everyone was saying how they couldn't find party help or a bartender and I was so surprised by that. I researched for bartenders in the Raleigh area and the only thing I could find was a bartending school. I inquired if the bartenders I was working with would be interested in working side jobs. In 2007, I filed the assumed name of Hostess Helpers. After a year and a half I received notification of infringing on the Hostess Helper name (in Massachusetts). To make life easier, I changed the name to The Happiest Hostess.
Additional booking notes
Once a client contacts me, a short telephone conversation is necessary to ensure that I understand your needs. I ask questions and make suggestions so your event runs smoothly.
