Server For Hire est. 1997 badgeOur story

Twenty-nine years of making the host part of the party.

Since 1997, we've sent wait staff, bartenders, and grill chefs into homes, offices, and halls across New Jersey — one job: make you a guest at your own event.

From the moment we arrive, we're setting up, heating your food, walking apps around butler-style, replenishing, clearing, setting up desserts & coffee, and — when the night winds down — packing up the leftovers and taking out the trash. You won't lift a finger.

“When the party's over, relax — the hard work is already done.”

What we bring

Staff for every part of the night

And if you need something we don't do ourselves — catering, cakes, balloons, valet — we know exactly who to call.

Wait staff & captains

Response from Server For Hire

You too are the perfect client. It is always wise to book servers to come before guests. It makes a big difference. Staff will know where things are, what needs to be done and can ask questions to be able to make things run smoothly before guests arrive. Thank you for trusting our services for your special event

The servers were professional and really made us feel like guests at our own party. My wife was sad when they left and wanted them to stay longer than the contracted time. I would highly recommend.

Response from Server For Hire

Making you a guest at your party is what we do best. Like your wife, many clients hate to see us go. Although we have a 4 hour minimum, you can contract our services for as many hours as you want. For your future events we always try to send you the same staff and will happily work as many hours as you wish to contract us for. Thank you for trusting Server For Hire to work your 4th of July holiday celebration

Good to know

Questions hosts ask us first

What areas do you serve?

We staff events all throughout NJ, based out of Toms River, NJ. Whether you're hosting a backyard party, wedding, or corporate event anywhere in the state, we have you covered. See all 21 counties we serve.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. Every event we staff is covered by liability insurance, and our bartenders know the licensing and permitting rules that vary by venue and town all throughout NJ. Tell us your venue when you book and we'll confirm what's needed.

How far in advance should I book?

As early as you can — weekend dates in peak wedding and summer season fill up months out. That said, call us even if your event is coming up fast and we'll do what we can to staff it.

Do you provide the food, alcohol, or equipment?

No — we provide trained staff, not catering, alcohol, or rental equipment. If you need help sourcing any of that, our trusted partner network can point you in the right direction.

Can you run a full event, not just one role?

Yes. Our full event staffing package builds a captain-led team of servers, bartenders, and a grill chef if your menu needs one, coordinating the whole night on-site so nobody on your side has to manage staff.

More questions? See the full FAQ or just ask us.
