Reliable Staffing for Wedding Receptions and Catering Teams
We support professionally catered weddings with trained bartenders, servers, and kitchen support to ensure smooth, well-executed service throughout the event.
Our fully insured W-2 teams are structured to support both full-service catering teams and food drop-off catering that requires dedicated service staff. Whether supplementing an existing catering crew or providing full front- and back-of-house support, our teams arrive prepared, present professionally, and are built to scale for complex, high-guest-count receptions.
Event Staffing Solutions for Every Setting
Winery, Club & Venue Weddings
We provide experienced, team-based staffing for high-end venues — including wineries, country clubs, and banquet spaces. Our teams support formal dinner service, tray-passed hors d’oeuvres, bar service, and VIP guest care with professionalism and discretion.
Catering Team Support
We partner with catering companies that require additional staffing for large-scale or VIP events. Our teams assist with setup, food stations, bussing, beverage service, and breakdown — providing reliable coverage without the stress of last-minute hiring or full-time overhead.
Food Drop-Off Catering
When food is delivered but service staff are not provided, our team takes it from there. We handle setup, service, clearing, and guest-facing support to ensure a polished, full-service experience from start to finish.
Private Homes & Estate Events
We support professionally planned home and estate events that require structured, team-based service. Our staff manages food and beverage flow, guest service, and cleanup so hosts and guests can enjoy the event without operational distractions.
Private Chef Dinners
Discreet, professional staffing for private chef experiences, including plating assistance, table service, and kitchen support. Our teams work behind the scenes to maintain a seamless, elevated dining experience.
Positions We Staff
Captains & Shift Leads
Experienced on-site leads who keep everything running smoothly. They oversee service flow, delegate tasks, and support both front- and back-of-house teams—perfect for weddings and private events that need structure without hiring a full coordinator.
Servers & Waitstaff
Polished, professional servers trained in both formal and casual service. Whether you're planning a backyard dinner or a black-tie reception, our waitstaff ensures smooth table service, attentive guest care, and a clean, organized dining area.
Bartenders
Skilled bartenders available for hosted bars, cocktail hours, and wedding receptions. All are RBS-certified and arrive with the tools and professionalism to serve responsibly, keep stations tidy, and create a welcoming guest experience.
Kitchen Support
Reliable back-of-house staff who handle everything from light prep and plating to dishwashing and cleanup. Our team is especially helpful for family-hosted events or when food is delivered by a restaurant or caterer—we receive deliveries, set up stations, and ensure a smooth flow behind the scenes so your event stays stress-free and on schedule.
Food Runners & Bussers
Support staff who assist with clearing tables, restocking supplies, refreshing water stations, and keeping things tidy throughout service. Great for events where you want the flow to feel effortless without putting that pressure on family or guests.
Catering Team Support
Extra hands when your caterer needs additional staffing. From setup and buffet support to behind-the-scenes assistance, our staff integrates seamlessly with your existing team to ensure service stays polished and on pace.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
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!
