Eventgoers in the Twin Cities care about the quality of the food and drink they consume, but they also enjoy high-quality bartending services. They want staff to be genuine hospitality professionals who provide them with an exceptional experience.
Host a Toast in Minneapolis is an event staffing company that’s built around this concept. As a brand, we deliver high-quality hospitality professionals who are always polished and attentive, making them the ideal partner for small corporate dinners and large weddings alike.
What does event staffing in Minneapolis cover?
The term “event staffing” is incredibly broad, but us at Host a Toast, it means something specific. The idea is to provide banquet servers, hospitality staff, and bartenders who can deliver a high-quality food and drink service and ensure all guests are satisfied.
Here’s a breakdown of the core services Host a Toast provides:
- Hospitality professionals – These are essential for buffets, plated dinners, and cleaning up after an event.
- Beverage service – Bartenders know how to work a bar and can whip up high-quality cocktails for guests.
- Rentals and service wares – This service provides all of the tools needed for the perfect event, including serving pieces, glassware, and bar tools, preventing difficulties trying to find equipment last minute.
- Consulting – The service provides assistance relating to hospitality processes, like staffing ratios and how much drink to provide.
All of these services come from one provider, so hospitality professionals know what services are available to them. They can consult with you on what you might require for your event. Consolidating all of these into one operation is more efficient and reduces risks.
Get wedding bartenders
Wedding bartenders are, as you might imagine, in high demand. These experts deliver exceptional experiences across multiple Minneapolis venues, including barns and lake houses outside of the urban area.
Host a Toast provides a comprehensive mobile bar solution that delivers equipment, staff, and setup processes to venues before guests arrive. The benefits for couples are significant. We can size your bar to the guest count, so you get a service able to provide drinks to everyone in attendance, so people don’t end up waiting or missing out.
We also offer bartenders who provide signature cocktails but can also serve simple drinks like gin and tonic quickly. Staff can cover rehearsal dinners as well to make planning easier.
Alongside weddings, bartenders are also available for milestone birthday parties, memorials for loved ones, and private family gatherings.
Get corporate event staffing
Corporate event staffing is also available from Host a Toast. These events have different pressures and usually require documented budgets and insurance certificates. Fortunately, we can cover every type of business meeting, including client appreciation events, retirement send-offs, product launches, and office celebrations.
All of our bartenders are licensed and insured, so you don’t need to worry about compliance. Our staff packages are highly flexible, allowing you to tailor them to your needs. We understand there’s a big difference between a short cocktail hour for 40 people after a business meeting and a seated dinner for over 300.
Banquet servers for hire and hospitality staffing
Of course, not every event can make do with a bar. That’s why Host a Toast also offers banquet servers and hospitality staffing for serving plated and sit-down meals. Our hosting professionals can manage buffet lines, set up and tear down food-serving equipment, and provide meet-and-greet services at the door. You’re able to scale up for large bookings quickly without having to put anyone on your full-time payroll.
Why hire a local provider?
With so many national event staffing and mobile bartending services around, you may be wondering why you should hire a local provider. Searching for “hire a bartender near me” turns up plenty of options in the Minneapolis area.
Of course, when you go with a local company like us, staff know the venue and understand how parking, loading, and unloading work, eliminating nasty surprises. Hospitality professionals also follow Minnesota’s liquor regulations and apply them to private events.
