What NYC hosts are saying
We hired a cocktail server for our wedding reception and it was such a relief. They circulated non-stop with trays, remembered every guest's order, and kept the energy high. It made the whole night feel effortless.
Samantha R. Brooklyn
Booking a cocktail server through Updone for our birthday party was the best call we made. They kept the drinks flowing through the crowd without ever missing a table. Couldn't have asked for a smoother experience.
Kevin T. Manhattan
For our corporate event, our cocktail server worked the whole floor solo and still made every guest feel taken care of. Already planning to hire through Updone again.

Our engagement party ran so smoothly thanks to our cocktail server — they was fast, friendly, and made sure VIP tables never ran dry. Worth every penny.
Rachel P. New York
I was nervous about staffing our backyard gathering, but our cocktail server handled bottle service and tray passing like a pro all night long without missing a beat. The whole booking process was faster than we expected too.
Luis M. Rochester
Hands down the easiest part of planning our holiday party was the cocktail server we booked. They kept guests refreshed non-stop and never let the room feel understaffed. Exactly the kind of service we were hoping for.
