We build the HoReCa team that serves your guests professionally — so you don't have to load logistics onto family and groomsmen. Vetted waiters, bartenders, runners and hostesses, experienced with weddings from 100 to 500 guests. Confirmed in 48h, 2h backup guaranteed.
A full HoReCa team for a wedding covers 4–5 core roles, depending on guest count and service style (plated, buffet, or mixed). PHE can supply a single role (only the bartenders, say) or the entire crew.
The backbone — serve guests at table, coordinate platters, set the pacing. Plated service: 1 waiter per 12–15 guests. At 200 guests: 13–17 waiters.
Waiter support — shuttle platters, clear fast, refill water and bread. For weddings above 150 guests: 1 runner per 2–3 waiters.
Open bar, cocktails, wine, champagne. Standard wedding: 2 bartenders. Advanced open bar or mixology: 3 bartenders + 1 barback.
Guest reception, table ushering, in-event assistance. For 150+ guests: 2 hostesses. For international guests: +1 bilingual hostess.
For 150+ weddings. Non-stop crockery and glass rotation — 1,500–2,000 pieces per 200-guest wedding. 1–2 dishwashers depending on size.
Concrete example for a typical wedding:
All packages include 2h backup guarantee, contract and VAT invoice, standard black uniform. Switching to buffet instead of plated cuts crew cost ~50% (waiter ratio 1 per 25–30 guests). Rates vary by experience, venue and season — request a custom quote.
Send the date, venue, guest count and service style. We reply within 4h with a custom quote.
We propose the full crew with names, experience, photos. For weddings with a special menu (vegan, kosher, gluten-free), we select candidates with proven experience.
Service contract + 30% advance at confirmation. Balance due 14 days post-event.
A PHE coordinator is on site 30 min before and throughout. They sync directly with the venue and your wedding planner.
For summer season (May–September), aim for 4–6 weeks ahead. For off-season (October–April), 2 weeks is enough. For under-7-day urgent requests we still respond, but availability is tight at peak season.
Yes. Many venues bundle waiters in the catering package, but often the count is too low for a larger wedding or the team isn't specialized for your event type. We top up or partially replace the venue crew — in agreement with the venue.
Yes, for specific needs (fluent English, specific experience, polished look). For larger crews (>10 people) we set up a video call with the proposed team.
Standard: black trousers, white shirt, bow tie or tie, black apron, closed black shoes. If you have a special wedding dress code (coloured shirt, vest, all-black, themed), we coordinate with the candidates.
2h backup guarantee. We have pre-confirmed standby candidates for every wedding. At peak season, our contract includes a penalty if we're the cause of an uncompensated no-show.
Yes, nationwide. For venues >30 km from Bucharest we add transport. For overnight venues we add lodging. We confirm at quoting.
Yes, subject to availability. Last-7-day additions carry a +20% urgent premium. Reductions trigger a penalty only if we cancel confirmed people with less than 72h notice.
