The BEST bartenders around

Dayna and her colleague were our bartenders for our wedding July 6th 2024. I cannot recommend these amazing ladies enough! Our guests raved about how quickly they got their drink orders, memorized them, and made their drinks exactly as they like! Dayna was clearing drink glasses/bottles from tables frequently throughout the night. They lined up all the wine glasses neatly on the table. They took initiative and did an amazing job with it all! Not only were Dayna and her colleague amazing bartenders but they went above and beyond to make sure our night was perfect. These ladies are undoubtedly the best bartenders around - quick, clean, friendly, organized, and with a strong work ethic. You should absolutely hire Dayna to bartend your future events. I know I will! Thank you Dayna for helping us to make our wedding as perfect as it was! We truly cannot thank you enough for all that you did! <3

Super experience

The whole process was easy and straight-forward and I couldn’t be happier with the service provided by Dayna. She was prompt, courteous and professional and wonderfully interactive and cordial with the wedding guests.

Great Preparation and Support, Poor Execution

***Please keep in mind that Waitstaff is located in Windsor, and that we had hired them for a London wedding service***

Waitstaff provided wonderful support and discussions about the best way to go about bartending at our wedding, which was greatly appreciated. They were truly indispensable when it came to figuring out how much alcohol was needed, mix, and so on. However, we were told closer to the date that a different person was going to serve out wedding. This person, after talking to them when the night was done, was hired as a contractor from Waitsatff and did not fulfill our services for the wedding as we want. We were not told this person was a contractor, and this person went against a lot of our wishes for the wedding bartending we had laid out with Waitstaff.

If hiring from the Windsor area and giving a guarantee that Waitstaff staff were going to service a bartending event, I would recommend them in a heartbeat. However, there was clearly little to no communication about our wishes and desires for the wedding from Waitstaff to this contractor which made for things not being done the way we wanted which is not great and for me this reflects poorly on them regardless of the support they gave us beforehand.

Knowledgeable, kind and professional

Absolutely loved having Dayna at our wedding! She was as so knowledgeable leading up to the day and answered every strange alcohol related question I had. Day of she arrived on time and was so amazing with me and all of our guests! I cannot recommend her enough!
