Fernando's team were amazing! They were on time, friendly, efficient and tidy. They really couldn't do enough for us during the night. I've never worked with any waiting staff before (or really hosted big events) - and they helped me to think through logistics. Carlos always checked the plan with me, so that we were on the same page. It was so great to be able to put our trust in them for our food and drink. Our guests were very impressed with the service and I can't recommend them enough! Definitely book!!

What can we say about Mike and his fantastic team?! They were simply INCREDIBLE.
There were so many small things the team did that kept our wedding day running and which helped to add an extra sparkle. That's before we even mention the hard work Mike put in before the day and behind the scenes, to make our wedding weekend a success.
The biggest compliment I can think to offer Mike and his staff was the fact that many of our guests came up to us to tell us how fun, friendly and helpful all the staff were, how good the cocktails were, and how much they all went out of their way to ensure everyone was having a great time.
Thank you, thank you, thank you Mike, it was an absolute pleasure to work with you and your team!
...and the negroni was spot on 👌🏻

I honestly could not recommend this company highly enough. We booked Michael and his team just to be an extra few pairs of hands at our mostly DIY wedding reception. We needed someone to set up the welcome drinks and nibbles, and also didn’t want the guests to have to worry about clearing their own plates or washing up glasses if we ran out. I was so anxious about staff not turning up, being late or just not doing a good job but I needn’t have worried!
What Michael and his staff provided was just above and beyond anything we could have imagined. We were the first to arrive at the reception and everything had been prepared and laid out exactly how we had hoped. The team were there to welcome the guests with a smile and a perfectly made Pimms! For the rest of the night, the team did all of the tasks we had asked, plus they set up a makeshift bar and served the guests drinks including cocktails.
They were all so friendly, polite and hard-working. We never saw them sitting down/looking at their phones. We even had to encourage them to have a break and have food! They worked right up until their finishing time and left their area spotlessly clean and tidy. So many guests commented on how great they were and I cannot imagine how the event would have gone without them. Thank you!

The Bristol Vibe: Your Guide to Hiring Ace Waiting Staff
Bristol is a city with a soul of its own. It’s a hub of creativity, independent spirit, and forward-thinking ideas, all with a laid-back vibe that’s utterly infectious. The event scene here is no different. We’re talking eco-minded weddings in lush gardens, tech start-up mixers in cool warehouses, and festival-lite parties by the riverside. An event in Bristol is more than just a gathering; it’s an expression of a unique, conscious style.
To pull off a party with this much character, you need more than just a service team. You need a crew that gets it. You need professionals who are not only brilliant at their jobs but who also fit the friendly, creative, and down-to-earth atmosphere.
As event insiders, we know that finding the right people is the key to a truly memorable and stress-free occasion. It’s what allows you to let go, dive in, and enjoy the brilliant event you’ve created. So, let’s explore how to find the perfect waiting staff for your Bristol bash.
Why a Pro Team is a Lush Idea
Let’s be honest, you want your garden party to be remembered for the great chat and chilled music, not because you spent the whole time running back and forth to the kitchen. Hiring a professional team is how you protect the vibe you’ve worked so hard to create.
Here’s why it’s the best decision you’ll make:
You get to be in the moment. A professional team takes the weight of service logistics off your shoulders. You’re free to be a host in the truest sense of the word: connecting with people and enjoying the atmosphere.
It ensures a seamless experience. From greeting guests with a warm Bristol welcome to making sure the event space stays tidy, a pro team handles all the little details that make a huge difference, ensuring everything flows smoothly.
It reflects your event’s quality. Whether it's a slick tech launch or a sustainable chic wedding, a professional team demonstrates a commitment to quality. They add a layer of polish without feeling stuffy or out of place.
It’s the ultimate stress-reducer. Knowing that a reliable, experienced team has the service covered is incredibly liberating. You can relax and have confidence that your guests are in excellent hands.
The Right Crew for Bristol's Creative Scene
Bristol’s events are wonderfully varied, reflecting the city’s dynamic culture. When you’re looking at hiring waiting staff in Bristol, you need a team that can adapt to your unique event.
Eco-minded Weddings: A cornerstone of the Bristol ethos. For a wedding focused on sustainability, you need a team that understands the brief. They might be serving locally sourced food, managing complex recycling systems, or simply bringing a warm, natural service style that complements the boho-modern theme.

Curated suppliers
All Poptop’s suppliers are rigorously vetted and approved by our team of party experts, ensuring you book the very best.
Tech & Start-up Mixers: In a city at the forefront of innovation, these events are fast-paced and full of energy. The service needs to be sharp, efficient, and almost invisible, keeping the drinks and nibbles flowing so the networking never has to stop.
Garden Parties: A beautiful outdoor setting requires a team that’s adaptable and resourceful. They need to be comfortable working in non-traditional spaces, providing an attentive yet relaxed service that feels perfectly suited to a chilled-out afternoon.
Warehouse Launches: For a product launch or creative showcase in one of Bristol’s industrial spaces, the staff need to match the edgy, cool aesthetic. Think contemporary uniforms and a confident, friendly service style that adds to the buzz.
Nailing the Atmosphere: Service Style for Your Space
The best service teams understand that their style needs to fit the setting. In Bristol, where independent and unusual venues are the norm, this adaptability is key.
For a ‘Boho-modern’ wedding in a garden, the service should feel warm, personal, and relaxed. The staff are professional, but they can engage with guests in a friendly way that adds to the communal, celebratory feel. For an event with a ‘Sustainable Chic’ theme, the team’s role goes deeper. They become ambassadors for your ethos, perhaps able to talk about the food’s provenance or championing the event’s low-impact goals.
And what about a ‘Festival-lite’ party in a riverside space? Here, you need a team with energy and personality. They are efficient and organised, of course, but they also contribute to the vibrant, carefree atmosphere that makes the event so special.
Working out the Costs: Hiring Staff in Bristol
So, how much should you budget for a brilliant team in Bristol? The good news is that hiring professionals is an accessible and worthwhile investment. You should expect to pay between £18 and £24 per hour for each staff member.
Most reputable suppliers will have a minimum hire period of four hours, which means a starting cost for one person will likely be in the region of £75 to £105. For the expertise, reliability, and peace of mind they bring, it’s one of the most impactful ways to spend your event budget.
