It was an absolute joy to work with Stephanie and her staff. She was very helpful as we planned the engagement party and thought about every detail. They delivered everything in a timely manner and everything was set to go right on time. The food displays were beautiful and the food was delicious and plentiful. The staff were so helpful and did their job seamlessly. I would definitely recommend Hostest With The Mostess for any party or event needs I have in the future. Thanks for everything!

Absolutely amazing company, the owner Stephanie is a pleasure she went above and beyond me. All the food was delicious and the STAFF was a dream come true. Melissa and Danielle had my kitchen cleaner than before and were so kind to all my guests we will definitely be using you again!!!

I was excited about supporting a woman owned business but this woman is disorganized and unprofessional.
I contacted HwM via text one week before our event for a server only. I was getting food from Crossroads Que (excellent btw!). I was told they could help and would call me on Monday (texted on a Sat.). Monday and Tuesday came & went. Texted again Wednesday morning AND Thursday morning too. Crickets, no response. Stephanie called Thursday afternoon while I was driving in a downpour and my Bluetooth disconnected, so I asked to call back when I was not driving. She responded “sure, I’m around the rest of the day.” Called back about an hour or so later and left a voicemail. Again, no call back or text. Text her again Friday (3x). No response. I gave up and assumed no server was coming. Maybe the universe was telling me something 🤔
Saturday (day of event) she finally responds that I can pay cash BUT my booking is not confirmed 😳 Finally, we get on an actual call. Gave her my card # as a hold. I ask for the name of the server. She asks how many people. Min 50, possibly 60. She responds “oh, that’s too many for one person!”. I assured her my family and I will help, just need an extra hand.
Server shows up on time but it’s not who I was told was coming. Np… EXCEPT this was the server’s VERY FIRST PARTY!!
She had NO idea what to do or how to do it. She was very sweet and completely not her fault so what else to do but do EVERYTHING with her. To boot, my SIL (particularly) with others had to chip in to help. I was prepared to help the server but NOT show her how to do almost everything and do it with her!
This was a cruel and unprofessional act by Stephanie. Knowing it was a large party she sends a complete NOVICE. I would have preferred she tell me she didn’t have anyone and I would have saved a few hundred dollars. Could have paid the teens in my family to do the running instead.
One would think the drama ends but oh not so fast! Her time ends & as agreed upon over the phone, I paid the server in cash plus a generous tip (cuz it was not her fault).
Two days later, my credit card gets pinged for over $200 from HwM 😳😳
Back to texting Stephanie who takes her time responding. “My apologies. I will refund and mark it as paid in cash. So sorry about that.” Except it took her a week to issue the refund with reminders from me.
Will not be calling on this business again.
I would have posted pictures, I had lovely grad decorations, but I didn’t get to take any cuz I was so busy 🙄
Stephanie, it’s amazing how quickly you responded to my review. If you are earnest in your offer, you would refund at least part of my money. Your employee was a trainee without a trainer.

I hired hostess with the mostess for my toddlers combined birthday party. I started the booking process with Stephanie the owner (amazing) she took so much time and had so much patience going over all the options with me. She even did a free site visit to my home to make sure all the rentals would fit and make it exactly how I wanted!! She truly turned all my dreams into reality and helped make the experience enjoyable. The food was delicious, our griller was amazing and accommodating everyone who left was asking me for the information. The waitstaff was so sweet, well mannered, interactive, and let me enjoy every second with my friends family and toddlers. Thank you hostess with the mostess and especially Stephanie for everything you did for us we can’t wait to use you guys again on Fourth of July!!
