Highly recommend!!!

They were so helpful on the day of our wedding! Everything was stocked and refilled right away and they made the dinner service run smoothly and look immaculate! They were responsive throughout our entire process and also helped with suggestions for how many service staff members we would need based on our changing guest count. They were so kind and made the process very smooth and easy! My husband and I truly felt like we could enjoy our wedding and we didn’t have to worry about any of the details because they just helped everything run so smoothly! I highly recommend!

I cannot really put into words how great and indispensable Spare Hands were at our wedding but here goes:

We originally hired Spare Hands because our venue had a very strict cleanup time and our day-of coordinator suggested we bring on some extra staff to help tidy everything up at the end of the night. We also wanted some people to be able to help set up in the morning, and to make sure our guests were doing okay with the buffet catering on the day. We got in touch with Jennifer who was very friendly and communicative all through the planning process, and she helped us to figure out how many staff we needed and how long for.

Then the wedding day happened and Spare Hands just blew our minds with how much more they did for us. On top of helping with the setup, they were super attentive to everyone’s needs, and basically just managed to be wherever they were needed about five seconds before you knew you needed them.

They were especially great with me and my wife. As you can imagine our attentions were a little divided, but Jennifer and her team took so much care of us – bringing us food at lunchtime while we got ready for the ceremony (and little refreshments after the ceremony, which gave us enough energy to do all the meeting and greeting), as well as bringing us water and other drinks whenever we asked (and sometimes before we knew to ask!). All throughout they would check in on us to make sure we were okay and didn’t need anything, without being obtrusive at all. They just helped to make the whole thing run smoothly so we could enjoy our wedding day in peace. I’m sure they did even more than we know about- but like special effects in movies, with the best ones you don’t even realise what amazing things they did.

Jennifer was fabulous! She handled everything in my kitchen; plated the food, served the food, and did the dishes for a dinner party of 12! All by herself. She was delightful in every possible way and I can't thank her enough for being the Spare Hands I needed to enjoy my own dinner party. Jennifer has made me eager to entertain again. She is priced so reasonably that we wanted to give her an extra tip. Thank you!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
