Such a Great Experience

I found this company after doing some research and contacting multiple companies. They had the best all-inclusive pricing, and considered so many more things that I did not think of (coolers and ice, time to chill beverages, what we were serving, etc.). Our bartender was so kind and even helped to clean up at the end of the night. Would definitely recommend!

Amazing service

Judy and her team were fantastic. We went with a very hands off caterer for our wedding, so the Happiest Hostess provided waitstaff and bartenders for the evening for a great value. They made the entire event run so smoothly. Tables were cleared throughout the night, drinks were served, and cleanup was over very quickly. Everyone was very professional. I would highly recommend!

Great bartending service!

Very responsive and great pricing! Our caterer didn't offer bartending service but recommended The Happiest Hostess. They were great to work with and did a nice job all night!

Understood the vision and exacted it beautifully

Judy was amazing to work with. I'd been struggling for a long time trying to find a bartending service that met my desire to bring in our own craft beer and wine selection in a way that took the pressure off the wedding party. After one call with Judy, I knew it was the right fit! She gave so many helpful tips along the way as we planned an unconventional bar service. On the day of our wedding we had exactly what we needed ready to pour, her and her staff were professional, kind and knew when to cut off our rowdier guests. Couldn't have asked for a better experience with her and Happiest Hostess. I would DEFINITELY recommend them for anyone who wants an experienced bartending service for their wedding or event and they do so much more!

We are so pleased with the service we received from The Happiest Hostess. Judy was a life-saver on our wedding day. She handled a few potential crisis situations efficiently and without being asked. Judy was able to keep our entire wedding party, which included 14 people, on the same page throughout the ceremony and the reception. Any time we needed questions answered, or plans changed, Judy was there to ease our stress. The bartending serves she provided were top notch. I regret that I can not remember the names of the two we had, but they were absolutely wonderful. They were polite and attentive and both of them had great personalities. When they weren't busy serving drinks, they were picking up trash and collecting empty cups from the area. I would highly recommend The Happiest Hostess to anybody who wants top quality services at a very modest price.

I had a graduation party for my daughter and hired the Happiest Hostess. I have to say it was by far the best money I have ever spent - I truly did nothing but enjoy the party and my guests. I highly suggest for your next event or wedding you hire them !!

These people are a 100% must. They can help you with everything. Judy really helped me early on by asking the right questions. They assisted us with set up, really worked the room with dinner and drinks, and made the magic happen at clean up time. I would strongly recommend them to anyone!
