Who are we?
A word from Nat
I have always dreamed of having a DIY backyard wedding but I want everyone to be able to enjoy the celebrations and not worry about leaving Uncle Russell behind the bar or leaving Mum to run around and clean up after everyone. I also didn’t want to leave family & friends running around cleaning up after everyone. So Worth the Wait was born! Worth the Wait is a local business that provides professional wait staff for events and functions from birthday parties to weddings. It’s the business baby of Mackay woman Natalie Aitken, who was inspired whilst planning her own wedding. Natalie knows how important your celebration is, no matter how big or small, and how much effort goes into your special day. Now you can have the staff that support your vision and love it just as much as you do! We help with bar service, waitressing, cleaning up and so much more. Reach out to us to see how we can add that touch of difference to your event.
