What LA hosts are saying

We hired a waiter for our wedding reception and it was such a relief. They kept every table cleared, served each course on time, and never let a glass go empty. It made the whole night feel effortless.

Michael T. Anaheim

Booking a waiter through Updone for our birthday party was the best call we made. They handled a full room of guests smoothly and stayed attentive all night. Couldn't have asked for a smoother experience.

Emily K. Riverside

For our corporate event, our waiter ran food and drinks out fast and kept the whole event feeling effortless. Already planning to hire through Updone again.

Luis M. Irvine

Our engagement party ran so smoothly thanks to our waiter — they was polished, professional, and anticipated what our guests needed before they asked. Worth every penny.

Daniel R. Long Beach

I was nervous about staffing our backyard gathering, but our waiter coordinated perfectly with the caterer and kept service moving without a hitch without missing a beat. The whole booking process was faster than we expected too.

Rachel P. Los Angeles

Hands down the easiest part of planning our holiday party was the waiter we booked. They managed a large guest list solo and still gave everyone great attention. Exactly the kind of service we were hoping for.
