⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
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!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Can't say enough good things!! Mike has ensured we are taken care of with our staffing needs, even with less than 24 hours' notice! The absolute best!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Excellent Service!! We hired 40 Brand Ambassadors and Guest Regeneration staff for event in San Francisco. They were amazing. All the staff showed plus they sent a couple extra just in case, which was great because the other company we hired was short a few people. Everyone was dressed in the correct uniform, very personable and outgoing. We will definitely be using them for every event!
