The company takes pride in offering first-class service that elevates every event, making it a preferred choice for clients seeking memorable banquet experiences. Known for its commitment to excellence, Classic Events ensures that each event is handled with professionalism and a personal touch, from intimate gatherings to large-scale celebrations.

The Foundry Suites Banquet facility, a prestigious venue operated by Classic Events, is located in a historic building originally constructed in the early 1900s as a manufacturing plant for railroad signals. This venue beautifully combines historical elegance with modern industrial chic, featuring impressive architecture with floor-to-ceiling windows that highlight Buffalo's rich heritage. The Foundry has been refurbished to reflect its original grandeur, now serving as a stylish hotel and banquet venue that attracts visitors attending Buffalo's premier cultural and recreational sites. Situated near the Albright Knox Art Gallery, Burchfield Penny Art Center, Historical Museum, Buffalo Zoo, and Buffalo State College, along with vibrant shops and restaurants on Elmwood Avenue, the Foundry Suites offers a central location for guests. It is also conveniently close to Niagara Falls, one of the natural wonders of the world.

In this vibrant and historic setting, Classic Events is seeking experienced Banquet Bartenders to join its team. Banquet Bartenders play a crucial role in ensuring guests receive top-tier service during events hosted at the Foundry Suites. This position requires a professional with excellent customer service skills, a pleasant demeanor, and the ability to maintain a genuine smile throughout events, enhancing the guest experience. Bartenders will be responsible for preparing and serving beverages in a timely and courteous manner, supporting the event's smooth operation and overall guest satisfaction.

The role demands flexibility, as event schedules can vary, requiring bartenders to work different shifts, often during evenings and weekends. Candidates should ideally have at least one year of bartending experience, although this is preferred, not mandatory, highlighting the company’s openness to train motivated individuals. Reliable transportation is important to ensure punctuality at events. Physical stamina is necessary to carry serving trays and perform duties that involve standing and moving for extended periods.

Classic Events values teamwork, and bartenders must work collaboratively with other team members to uphold the venue’s standards of excellence. The position offers an opportunity to be part of a well-respected team within a company deeply rooted in Buffalo's cultural and hospitality scene. Working with Classic Events provides employees with the chance to contribute to creating unforgettable experiences while advancing their skills in a dynamic and supportive environment.
