This vendor provided outstanding service at a reasonable rate for our wedding in early November! We would absolutely recommend NorCal Event Staffing for any event - our bartender was very attentive to guests and went above and beyond the normal "job duties" to ensure everyone had a good time. Thanks so much for your great work, George!

We contacted NorCal Event at the last minute, less than 2 weeks before a small backyard wedding. Larry and Daniel were extraordinary. This was the first time I hired staffing and these gentlemen took charge effortlessly and seamlessly. Absolutely everyone commented about how lovely, friendly and professional they were. They truly became a vital part of the day and contributed to a flawless party.
And at the end of the time we had originally scheduled for, they were right there checking if we needed them to stay longer which I really appreciated their awareness of our budget. I highly recommend

We used NorCal Staffing for a backyard pool party/BBQ. Tiffani, Sabrina, & Eve were amazing! Tiffani's personality brightened everyone's day. She was our bartender for the day, but also stepped up to help with cleaning up during the event and made sure we had everything we needed for our games. Eve was there every time someone finished a drink to either take their cup or bring a refill. She also jumped in and offered to run to the store for more ice when we ran low. Overall, we were thrilled with this team and plan to use them again for future events.

All I asked was to be respected and heard. I have provide all the proof family text messages. It's unfortunate in times like these truth isn't enough. I was there you were not Mike. My 94 year grandmother, aunt and mother words aren't accept My word, emails aren't good enough.

I have never hired help for a party. I wasn't sure if NorCal would staff for a small event. We only needed two helpers. Caprisha and Jen'nay were our helpers. We were so lucky! These two women were amazing. They catered to everyone and are very warm and personable. Everyone commented on how wonderful they took care of us. Amazing! Thank you so much. Now I think I am spoiled. It is so relaxing to be able to relax at the party you are hosting.
