Fantastic Party!

by msmanhattan at Citysearch

The party I threw for my husband’s 50th birthday was a terrific success, and that’s chiefly because I chose to work with Eat Drink & Be Merry. I felt completely supported by their staff from the start, and was pleased that they addressed all of my questions during the planning stages with great speed and expertise. The site itself (The Speakeasy Room) was lovely—we had around 60 people and they fit quite comfortably.

I can’t say enough for the people who worked the party itself, especially the party manager and our bartender. The party manager was in friendly-yet-unobtrusive control the entire evening, made sure that we had everything we had requested, and even anticipated needs that we hadn’t thought of ourselves.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Eat, Drink & Be Merry to anyone who need help putting a party together.

  • Pros: Easy to contact, Great Space & Terrific Staff!
  • Cons: Friday & Saturdays book up quick!

Great Party!

by angelinab9 at Citysearch

Eat Drink & Be Merry was so much help with planning my future sister-in-law's Bachelorette Party! They were all so nice and helpful everytime I called (with my many questions...hahaha). We had a great time at such a reasonable price! We ended up with a Hummer Limo instead of the Navigator...it was such a pleasant surprise. Mo's Caribbean had great food and the manager, Matthew, was very helpful in explaining our evening and he made sure that we were well taken care of. Our limo driver, Carlos, was great...whenever we needed to be picked up he was right there with a smile on!

I will definitely plan my next event in NYC with Eat Drink and Be Merry!!!!

  • Pros: Working with the staff at Eat Drink and Be Merry, the iimo service, etc.

Fast, Professional and Fun!!!

by jewdonknow at Citysearch

I have been to many a friends' party that have been thrown by EDBM and each one was better than the last. The bartenders were fast yet managed to make everybody there feel like the party was his or her own. I highly reccomend these guys to anyone who wants to throw a party with a guarantee of a good time.

  • Pros: Service, Music

Cheap Drinks, Fun Atmosphere, Great Bartenders

by dagoldentounge at Citysearch

I just used Eat Drink and Be Merry to book a party for 30 of my friends at Down The Hatch. I just want to say the service was exceptional. The doormen were very organized in checking our IDs and braceleting us for our party and the bartenders were really fast and fun. My entire party had a good time from what we can remember. I will definitly book another party again with these guys.
