Threw a holiday party and Dawn from Party on the Rocks was AH-Mazing! I didn't have to worry about a thing during the party and just enjoy my guests. She refilled drinks and food, bussed, took out trash and even answered the door if I couldn't get there. Best part is I woke up the next day to a tidy house, not a nightmare! Such a great decision hiring Party on the Rocks!

We were required to hire a bartender for our wedding venue, and were lucky to find Party on the Rocks! Decided to add an additional staff person to help with food service and setup, and it was a GREAT decision. We also added some of their beverage extras (coffee, lemonade, etc), which was a big hit. Both of the Party on the Rocks folks were hard working and kind, and never stopped moving for the entire day. They kept the party going and we could not have done it without them. Worth every penny! Thank you!

WOW! Booking Party on the Rocks as event staff was one of THE BEST things I did for my wedding. I was a DIY bride to the max - we did all of our own music, decor, and made all of our own food for a 120 person wedding which included pre-ceremony snacks/refreshments/lawn games, cocktail hour, and dinner/reception. I ended up hiring 3 event staff to work 1pm-8pm and they were simply amazing. Super professional and hard workers with great attention to detail. They worked seamlessly with my day of coordinator and my family. They helped us set up each event, kept food/drinks well stocked, switched tables

Alec, Hillary, and Brandy, were invaluable additions to our wedding day. From helping us set up the tables, to shepherding guests through the venue, and cutting our cakes, our day would never have gone so smoothly if not for them. All three of them went above and beyond and ensured that a hands-on, type-A bride wasnt worried or stressed at any point on the wedding day!
