Don & Linda

I am addressing her negatives.
I do not know what she means by not engaging with her guests. When her guests came up to the bar we asked them what they wanted and if we had time we engaged in conversation with with them. It sounds like the client wanted us to walk around and take drink orders, we are bartenders not servers, bartenders stand behind a bar and mix drinks. When one guest tipped us $20.00 it was at the very beginning and he was the first guest at the bar. I said thank you. When we see guests put money in our tip jar , we say thank you, we don't check to see how much they tipped. She said wear at least khaki's and a polo shirt, for a wedding we wear black pants and a charcoal gray dress shirt not even close to a jean shirt. When we arrive to set up we wear T shirts that so we don't get our dress shirts dirty setting up the bar. The couple of times the bride came up to the bar we made her drink right away and congratulated her right away. Most of the time someone came and got drinks for her. The number of times the groom and his buddies came for shots or drinks they got served right away. Yes we sit when its slow, sometimes clients provide chairs for us, we sat on our ice chests as there was no room for chairs and no chairs where even offered. Did she wants us to stand for 7 hours? She and her husband came came up to the bar and asked for the receipt for the ice and she says we where not discrete.
There was one guest that was unhappy with the wine selection. (We do not provide the wine and the alcohol) and he was upset that the red wine was chilled, not our doing. They had all the red wine in the refrigerator.
If her guests where disappointed in our service and professionalism we did not see it. She may have been disappointed because she expected us to do more than what she hired us for?
Being on Gig Salad for five years and 35 bookings from Gig Salad. This is only our second negative review.

Thanks for the nice review.

From the very beginning there was a lack of communication from this wedding planner.
She asked us for a quote in February but did not book us until the middle of June. She blamed it on the clients.
Asked to meet with her and the clients at the beginning of July to discuss what cocktails they wanted to serve and to see where they wanted the bar set up ETC: NO response. I asked again a week before. Her response "I don't always get notified about these messages". I get all my messages from gig salad but she doesn't?
Tuesday before the wedding we talked to her on the phone and on Thursday by text to finalize details. Nothing was mentioned about what they wanted us to wear. On our website we have what our uniform consists of: black pants with your choice of a charcoal grey dress shirt or polo shirt. If you have a special request just ask. Nothing was mentioned we choose our polo shirts as it was outdoors in Piru & 80 plus degrees. She did not like our foot wear, we are behind a bar no one is going to see. Yes we wore tennis shoes. We are on hard concrete for a number of hours, she wants us to wear dress shoes.
The feed back we got from the guests was positive.
