If you’re throwing a dinner party for a special occasion – maybe it is your birthday or you are just having a dinner party with friends. One of the best ways to enhance your event is to hire a private butler. This is a great way to impress your guests.  Here is why you should hire a British butler for a party

What is the role of a Butler?

But what does a Butler actually do at a dinner party? You might have an image in your head of a very old-fashioned butler, serving guests like in Downtown Abby style scenarios. But even if you’re not having a period-themed dinner party, you may wonder how a butler would fit into the picture. The truth is, those ‘old fashioned’ butlers still exist. However, you can find plenty of modern butlers too!

A butler is so much more than someone serving you drinks and opening the door in a very formal outfit. Modern-day butlers are party planners, staff managers, entertainers and brilliant hosts all wrapped up into one. Figure out what type of party you need, and we can find you the butler to match who can help you to plan the party of your dreams!

The Perfect Host

A British butler can be a great host and they will really bring all the finishing touches and special service you and your guests will remember forever. The butler is the best in preempting, knowing what your guests need before they even need it. Your butler will remember dietary requirements, preferences, allergies, and all the other small details to look after your guests (and you!) in the absolute best possible way, giving you the opportunity to have a dinner party where you do not have to worry about anything. Your British butler can take over planning, organising, and full running of the evening. You know you and your guests will have a magical evening where you are pampered and looked after. It really will be a night to remember, and so worth it!butler with champagne

Organising a party?

Hiring a butler for your party will give it that next level of elegance and can give it that quintessentially British feel. If you want to have a formal or British feel and your party is large enough you can hire a whole team of butlers. You can even have more than one butler depending on the size and extravagance of your party. We would usually recommend 1 Butler for a maximum of 10 guests, so any more than this and we would advise hiring more than 1 butler. Butlers will greet your guests, serve them champagne and canapes, and provide you with the the best white glove service.
