I wanted to express my sincere appreciation for Ruby's outstanding assistance at our staff event this weekend. Her readiness to step in at the last minute and her dedication to both serving and cleaning was invaluable. (THANK YOU SO MUCH RUBY) She was a pleasure to work with, and her efforts significantly contributed to the success of our event.

We had a fabulous experience working with The Butler Did It for our 10th Wedding Anniversary Party of 80 guests! Our head waiter David was an absolute class act and helped our event to run so smoothly. He was incredibly organized, took initiative, was charming with guests and overall went above and beyond in every way he could. He made helpful suggestions throughout the event to keep things flowing and was willing to stay right till the end to get us all cleaned up even when it was beyond our anticipated end time. Well worth it and I would hire again for future events. Truly professional services. Many thanks David
Warmly, Carol Anne & Patrick

Second Floor has had the pleasure of working with TBDI for over six years now, and cannot say enough positive things about them! They have consistently provided our business with exceptional servers who always go above and beyond to provide excellent service to our clients. Their team is incredibly professional, reliable, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure that our events are a success.

From the moment we reach out to them to request staffing support, they are quick to respond and provide us with staff that is perfectly suited for our specific space and event needs.

Overall, TBDI is one of the best staffing agencies in the city, and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality hospitality staff. Thank you for everything – we look forward to many more years of working together!

I have been working with the Butler Did it for over 25 years if not longer. We have worked on many events together whether it’s small intimate dinners, large social gatherings or Galas. They have always provided excellent service from beginning of the event to the follow up after the event.
I never have to worry when I call on them to provide staff for my clients and I know my clients will be in good hands.
They are my go to for all my staffing requirements and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for event staffing.

It is a pleasure to provide a reference for The Butler Did It, who have been the exclusive staffing partner for The Royal Conservatory’s TELUS Centre for Performance and Learning since our opening in 2009 – over 15 years now!

The BDI is a fantastic company both on the administrative/booking side of things as well as on the onsite-event side. In our experience, both are essential for a successful partnership, and we value the competent and reliable office team as much as we value the amazing staff who work onsite at our events.

The booking team is reliable, accommodating and their administration is impeccable even in this crazy time – accurate every time, despite all the changes we have thrown their way over the last few years! Order confirmation, changes and billing are handled smoothly and in a very timely fashion.

Onsite, staff are well-trained, confident, friendly and absolutely lovely to work with. The supervisory team are great at reaching out to confirm event details in advance, and they review and prepare carefully for each event to ensure a flawless delivery onsite. As a result, the working servers are well-supervised and able to handle their duties with aplomb, and without a lot of support from our venue team as we can get busy with other tasks during an event. We absolutely love working with them.

A great partner in every way - we simply couldn’t imagine our venue without BDI on our team.

I would be happy to answer any questions that you might have, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

I would not give this company your credit card number. I suddenly ended up with a charge on my credit card - in October 2019. I've called the accounting office and I've sent emails to no avail. Good luck getting accounting problems resolved. Now I have to cancel my card and work with visa to resolve this - a real pain and waste of my time. Never again.

We have worked with them for many years and have always found them to maintain the highest standards of service. Many of their staff have stayed with the company for years, which makes repeat business a pleasure as you see familiar faces. We know that when we need extra help we can rely on The Butler Did It to represent Kiss the Cook Catering with absolute professionalism.
