What’s Included in This Package

This package provides a five-person team for a six-hour reception window. It’s designed for weddings where the venue handles setup, but the reception needs full service and coordination.

2 Bartenders — manage bar service across all phases
2 Servers — handle dining and guest support
1 Captain — coordinates timeline and execution
6 Hours of Coverage — from cocktail hour through close

How the Team Operates

This team is structured to cover both guest experience and event execution. The captain manages timing and coordination while bartenders and servers handle service.

Bartenders
Operate the bar with multiple service points to keep lines short and drinks flowing.
Servers
Manage food service, table flow, and guest needs throughout dinner and reception.
Captain
Oversees the timeline, coordinates with vendors, and ensures everything runs on schedule.

What This Looks Like in Practice

The team covers the full reception arc — from guest arrival through dinner and dancing — ensuring smooth transitions between each phase.

Cocktail hour with high-volume bar service
Seated dinner with coordinated plate and drink service
Toasts, cake cutting, and key moments managed on time
Dancing and open bar through the end of the night
Clean breakdown and venue walkthrough at close

Ideal for Weddings Such As

75–125 guest wedding receptions
Hotel and ballroom weddings
Restaurant and venue-based events
Museum and structured event spaces
Events with catering already in place

The Difference Is the Captain

Without a captain, service staff work independently. With a captain, the entire reception is coordinated as a single operation — timing, flow, and execution handled in real time.

Single point of accountability
Timeline managed across all vendors
Real-time adjustments handled without disruption

How This Compares

vs Wedding Bar Crew
Adds servers and a captain — covers full reception, not just the bar
vs Wedding Full Service
Does not include setup/teardown — designed for venues that handle their own setup

Right-Sized for Mid-Size Weddings

This team is ideal for weddings where both bar and dining service are needed, but full setup and teardown are not.

75–100 guests → ideal coverage
100–125 guests → strong performance with coordinated timing
125+ guests → consider expanding staffing

Scale Based on Guest Count and Service Needs

One Team Running the Reception

This is the point where staffing becomes execution. With a captain in place, the reception runs as a coordinated system instead of separate roles.
