Rich was a great help at the rehearsal dinner for my son‘s wedding. We had 30+ people at our house for a buffet dinner. I wanted to be able to enjoy my guests and Rich made that possible. He managed the food service, cleanup, the bar (self serve), and was good company for my guests. He also reviewed our set up and made some suggestions that were very helpful. I would be happy to use R&B party and event staffing in the future.

R&B Party and Event did a wonderful job. Richard was great, not only was he a great bartender, he engaged with the crowd, he even helped with setup with food. My family totally enjoyed him. I will definitely be using their services again. Ask for Richard to bartend your next event! He definitely delivers! Oh and he also dressed for our family reunion theme. “ Boots on the ground”! It was a night to remember!

My wife and I went to bartending school in White Plains years ago... but frankly our experience and outgoing personalities are what really make us successful caterers/ bartenders it is why we have so many repeat customers.

We have been bartending over 20 years. We’ve been doing private parties and have also started catering
