⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
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!
