Hire A Host

ally worked with Kelly and after not receiving documents or accurate quotes, Melanie took over. Unfortunately, HAH continued to disappoint. They expected us to communicate with the caterer. They charged us for plates that were not used on top of plates that we rented to meet kosher standards. When we asked to remove that charge they said they had not charged us for things like ordering specialty wines (which was no different of a process than ordering non-Kosher wine, except perhaps that we sent them direct links to each wine). We wound up basically planning the wedding ourselves around Hire A Host. If you are doing a simple event with no religious or dietary needs, Hire A Host is probably fine.

reat from both Mara and Gail. The staff showed up with smiles on their faces and did a great job of having everything run smoothly. They were right there to clear out any dishes or assist in any way. Would happily work with them again.

a lifesaver when it came to helping us pack up our decor at the end of the night. We were grateful for their help!

of their staff were professional and helpful. You get so much more then you actually pay for!

candelabras on our dinner tables to keep the warm ambiance going into the reception party. They were organized, friendly, and above all so efficient on the day-of organizing and cleaning that it really helped us with take-down the next day. Couldn't recommend them more!

se. Katie made it sound totally possible to do all of the extra things without completely blowing our budget. Katie handled our endless questions with patience and kindness and even helped us set up a caterer tasting within a couple of days. She really went above and beyond to make us feel like this was doable and that the day would still be amazing. I am sure there are things that happened that day that I don’t even know about because she did such a great job as the day-of coordinator as well! I highly recommend Hire A Host and definitely use Katie!

little question we had, and even giving answers to the questions we didn’t know we should be asking! There was a slight hiccup the day before the wedding, and we weren’t able to set up the venue as planned- Katie put us at ease though, assuring us everything would be fine, and she was right! The next day every little detail was better than we could have imagined, and the entire day was executed perfectly. The Hire A Host bartenders and staff were friendly and helpful. Our wedding day really was our perfect day, and we know that was in a large part due to Katie and the Hire A Host staff!

nd stay on top of all the details. Their communication, flexibility, warmth and professionalism were exceptional. My partner and I agree, they were one of the best investments we made related to our wedding celebration because of the true peace of mind they provided day of in making sure guests were taken care of. I'd hire them again in a heartbeat.

side but we gave in to having three because the person we were working with kept insisted we needed to have three. We finally started the process and had a contract in the works when a fee was added that we weren’t informed of at the time of discussing the contract. Because we weren’t informed of this service fee my fiancé updated the working contract & sent in a deposit. Hire a host accepted and cashed our deposit (after we sent the updated contract). They did not have to accept the contract or cash the deposit but they did anyway. Three whole weeks later we get an email stating that the fee is “standard” with absolutely no other explanation as to what it was standard for. We questioned the contract & told them fine, we will pay the 500 dollar fee but 3 workers are just too many people for our wedding. Later we get an email stating they will no longer work with us. We then ask if we can speak with the owner because we don’t want to cancel the contract, we still would like help and all the things we were planning on renting from them and we are willing to pay it, it’s just we have questions and frankly customers asking questions shouldn’t be an issue. The owner called my fiancé and was quite rude & said it was our fault that they will not work with us. When my fiancé pointed out the huge amount of time we lost (because their worker took almost 3 months to draft a contract & then almost a month to tell us they weren’t working with us after they cashed our deposit) and that it might be difficult to find another company because they might all be booked the owner stated “What? you have a year!” 1) no we don’t, our wedding is in almost 8 months. 2) people start planning weddings long before this. We are both very upset. This isn’t about money for us, it’s about the fact that we question something & was basically scolded. It’s also about the time wasted. Months of our lives spent on this contract. It’s going to be very difficult to find someone in such a short time. They could of straight up told us a month ago they didn’t want to work with us & return our deposit but they didn’t.

heir actual quote it included a fee that we hadn’t discussed. I assumed it was another error and sent my deposit. I didn’t feel good about it, but they were cheap and I’d already wasted so much time waiting for them. After they’d condescendingly assured me it was “standard”, I suggested we meet halfway. No response for three weeks. They cashed our deposit. We have a contract. I assumed we’d finalize the deal later, but at least they’d made a commitment. Three weeks later they email and say their fee is not negotiable. I suggest that we eliminate some extra staff so that they can have their fee. At this point I’m still trying to work with them. In the end they cancelled our contract because I had the audacity to question their methods. I don’t know who they think they are, but I do know they should find another line of work. They set us back months by screwing around. I wouldn’t let them Host college improv. That’s how much I hate them.

ervices). But knowing that it would save my family a big headache, I went with it. SO GLAD I DID!!! They were absolutely amazing! The staff were so professional, attentive and inconspicuous. They made my reception look like the finest of galas. I highly recommend Hire-a-Host!!

g for us and our guests! Thank you Gail! Shawna was amazing behind the scenes in making sure our invitations, programs, menus etc were all done to perfection and on time! Thank you Shawna! We would highly recommend Hire a Host. We have used them in the past of other events and they always deliver above expectations. Great job Hire a Host team!

ng down completely away! Her and her team made the day seamless and were very professional. I don't think I could have pulled off the day without the team at Hire a Host! Also, I was able to drop off all of our decorations before the wedding and pick them up after. I literally had NOTHING to deal with on the actual day. Unbelievable!!

us down the aisle on time. They set up everything for the wedding, served, and cleaned up - they even helped with the decorations we brought from home. Would highly recommend. Thank you for everything Gail!

y event. My expectations were met and then some! They were prompt, neat in appearance, unbelievably courteous and above and beyond helpful! Took the stress off of us for clearing tables, serving dessert and making sure guests had plenty of water at their tables. We had one of them tend bar for us (just kegs and wine) and that went smoothly, we needed lots of ice and they even picked that up for us, saving us the hassle. Highly, highly recommend.
