The way your team looks shapes the mood of your wedding. Our staff can dress in several polished styles that fit different venues, themes, and levels of formality. Select the uniform that matches your vision best.
Black Formal Attire
A black dress shirt, tailored black pants, a classic black tie, and polished shoes create a sleek, formal look. This style works beautifully for luxury venues, ballroom weddings, and refined black-tie receptions.
White Bistro Style
A crisp white dress shirt with black pants and a black tie offers a clean, timeless look. This option suits classic ceremonies, traditional banquet halls, and elegant sit-down wedding receptions.
Gala Evening Style
A refined, modern outfit designed for evening celebrations and contemporary spaces. It pairs perfectly with rooftop weddings, chic cocktail receptions, and stylish city venues where you want a high-end feel.

Tips for Your Reception
A few simple guidelines make it easier to plan staffing for your wedding. Use these tips to match servers and bartenders to the size and style of your celebration.
Appoint a Lead When the Team Grows
Once you reach five or more staff on site, a dedicated event captain helps keep everyone aligned. This role manages sections, tracks timing, and keeps service moving in the right order.
Match Servers to Each Dinner Style
Family style or plated dinners need closer attention at the tables. A good benchmark is one wedding server for each table of 10–12 guests so plates, bread, and water reach the table on time.
Plan Enough Support Behind the Bar
One bartender can usually handle up to 50 guests for a simple bar. For 60–70 guests, add a barback to restock ice, glassware, and garnishes so the bartender can focus on pouring.
Balance Bussers With Glassware and China
When you use full china and glassware, one busser for every two tables helps keep the room tidy. If you choose high-quality disposables, one busser can often reset three tables without slowing service.

Our wedding teams in NYC follow a simple flow so each celebration stays on schedule, feels relaxed, and looks polished from first toast to last dance.
Arrival, Check-In & Layout
Servers reach the venue at the agreed call time and check in with the event lead. They unload racks with plates, glassware, and flatware, then match the floor plan table by table. As they finish the layout, they straighten chairs and place details so the room feels ready the moment guests walk in.
Buffet Lines & Service Stations
When the reception uses buffet lines or food stations, staff set chafers, serving tools, plates, and décor in clean, clear rows. During service, they refill pans, clear spills, and guide guests through the line. This steady support keeps movement smooth and the stations looking fresh in every photo.
Plated & Family Style Service
For plated or family style dinners, servers move in well-marked paths from kitchen to floor. We deliver each course in the planned order, watch timing between plates, and respond quickly to guest requests. As a result, the meal feels steady, warm, and easy for the couple and their families.
Ongoing Guest Support
Throughout the night, staff refill water, clear used glassware, and keep napkins and small items stocked. We check in with the coordinator and catering team so timing stays aligned. This constant but discreet support lets guests focus on celebrating, not on looking for help.
Final Reset & Wrap Up
As the event winds down, servers clear tables in sections, gather linens, and pack dishware back into rental racks. We tidy service areas, stack leftover supplies, and leave back of house spaces organized. This last step helps the venue close smoothly and makes pickups easier for rental partners.
FAQ • Wedding Service Staff
Wedding Staffing Answers for Engaged Couples
This guide explains how our teams support your reception, coordinate with your venue, and keep the flow of your wedding day smooth in NYC.
Insurance and venue requirements
Many venues ask for proof of coverage. We can issue a Certificate of Insurance and list the venue as additional insured when needed. Requests work best when sent at least one business day before your event date.
Staffing levels for weddings
The number of servers depends on guest count, service style, and layout. We review your timeline and floor plan, then suggest a team size that keeps courses moving and support steady from start to finish.
Food and beverage service skills
Wedding staff train on tray passing, plated dinners, buffet lines, dessert tables, and drink support. They focus on clean setups, calm movement, and kind guest interaction during the whole reception.
Payments and booking terms
Most couples confirm services with a standard agreement and clear payment schedule. Longer terms are usually reserved for planners or brands with repeated events after we build an ongoing partnership.
Service teams help with timing, table care, and guest support so you can stay present and enjoy your reception.
