Introduction

PR Bartending & Waitstaff is a full-time, family-owned bar and waitstaff company -- not "weekend warriors" or a referral service. A preferred vendor at more than 500 wedding venues across New Hampshire, Maine, Mass., and Vermont with the staff, equipment, insurance and expertise to service intimate gatherings or 200-plus. In the past 10 years PR Bartending & Waitstaff, the rustic barn and backyard tented wedding specialist, has served more than 50,000 guests at do-it-yourself, no liquor license-required events across 50,000 miles. With a strong commitment that wedding and event planning (regardless of guest count or length of service) is extremely reliant on an open-line of communication with their Hosts, PR Bartending & Waitstaff's extensive, on-point consultation services are included in their fee. Country club service shouldn't come with a membership fee! Always working within your budget and saving you money at every turn, the focus is on cost transparency with no hidden charges or fees, and no unnecessary package deals. The professional PR Bartending & Waitstaff team is sharp, friendly, approachable, reliable, and experienced. All are restaurant-grade TIPs SafeServe certified and the small company's breadth of insurance coverage is unmatched by any of its competitors. A-plus rated by the Better Business Bureau, since 2015 PR Bartending has been named a "Best of Boston" by Thumbtack and in 2016, a "Best of Thumbtack." PR Bartending & Waitstaff is a multi-time "Best of The Knot" honoree -- the only bar and waitstaff service company in the region so honored.

Hands down the best bartending service! We had such a hard time finding a bartending service that would even respond to our inquiries! PR was not only responsive, they were extremely professional and helped coordinate all the details from start to finish. My husband and I didn't have to get up once to get a drink at our wedding- it was so nice! The bartenders were a hit with all of our guests- unfortunately I didn't get their names! I would recommend them to anyone who is looking to hire a bartending service for their wedding or any private event! Thank you to everyone at PR!

Dear Amanda: Thank you so much for noting the high-caliber of our professional services. It was our pleasure to serve you and your delightful families and friends at Moody Mountain Farm in Wolfeboro, NH where we have long been the top preferred bar and waistaff provider. Patrice & Kevin

I highly, highly recommend PR Bartending to everyone! We hired PR Bartending for our wedding: a largely DIY 80-person affair at the Concord Scout House (which we also highly recommend!) Patrice, Kevin and their team were incredibly professional throughout the planning process: all our questions were answered via phone or email within a few hours, and they made great suggestions about how to set ourselves up for a successful party. They were totally on top of liquor liability insurance questions and updated our invoice promptly whenever we made changes. On the day itself, Kevin, Corbin and Molly were consummate professionals: attentive to detail, friendly and easy going, even helping us setup and cleanup non-bar-related stuff in their downtime. With all the moving pieces on our wedding day, it was wonderful to know from the moment they arrived that we were in such capable hands!

PR Bartending & Waitstaff's reply

This was our first visit to the Concord Scout House. We absolutely loved the venue and what a memorable party!

Even though we decided not to use a bartending service after all, Patrice was full of helpful information and was quick to respond to my questions. If we change our minds or need bartending services in the future we will definitely contact her again :)

Beware the low-ball bartending services (and there are many on here)! In the wedding industry you receive top quality service only from top quality companies.

The goal is to eliminate service complications, always with an eye on cost-saving measures that will not reduce or impair the quality of service.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
From the beginning we talk about saving money and zeroing-in on exactly what the client needs. For no extra fees or charges we consult with our clients the whole way working hand-in-hand with wedding planners, caterers, day-of coordinators and rental vendors.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Founder Patrice Roulx had a long-career in the high-end restaurant business and large venue concert industry hospitality. She also has extensive education in the visual arts and theater, which sparks her creativity in presentation.
