Lore Salad

The staff was totally amazing and attentive to all our guests needs. I would have liked more communication prior to the event.

It was a pleasure to have you assist with our event. Your staff was amazing and we will definitely use your service again

They were great--everything went smoothly--perfect. They made party-giving look easy!

Nadia and Sharon were fantastic! They were so helpful, polite, pleasant, and professional! The lunch went off smoothly.

Rene, Onedia, and Carina did an amazing job. They were professional, incredibly friendly, efficient, and resourceful. They made a 50+ guest party a breeze. Will definitely use this group again!

Two waitstaff helped with our wedding reception, busing tables and cleaning throughout the event. They were so nice and very professional. Highly recommend!!

Highly recommend! I was running behind in setting up, and they jumped in to help prepare some of the food and were very helpful in planning when to present the next course. I was able to sit back and enjoy the party. Oh! And the clean up was a dream at the end of a long night! I will use again!

Or waitstaff were perfect--they prepped, served, and cleaned up smoothly, efficiently, and thoroughly. They helped make our event memorable.

These guys were fantastic!! Thank you!!

We are so pleased and grateful to have their help at our large cocktail party. They were professional and gracious, and worked hard the entire event including thorough cleanup. They also beautifully arranged a spread of appetizers. I look forward to hiring them again in the future.

The most amazing staff company ever!! They were seamless during the hired wedding reception. Great group of staff who were professional, dressed for the event and ready to work! Truly was an incredible experience with them. Thank you

Waitstaff arrived on time, was very efficient, conscientious, and kind. Would definitely hire them again!

Sharon did a fantastic job!! Cleaned up well, served, and was perfect for our event. Thank you.

The ladies were sweet, efficient, and friendly. We will look forward to having them at another event in the future.

Our waitstaff, Sharon, was wonderful. We held and outdoor buffet/party for 35, she was non stop help to me juggling replenishing bar/food, general clean up during and after our gathering, cake cutting/serving and super friendly. She was in constant movement just jumping in wherever needed. If you’re thinking about hiring a helper for your next event, totally worth it, great value added as I was able to spend time with our guests confident that Sharon had things well under control. We’ll for sure work with this company for our next party!

We had 40 people for a garden party but it rained. The waitstaff were flexible and helped move part of the event indoors. They arranged the food trays without guidance and did a great job cleaning up. They were also very personable.

Thanks very friendly

They did an awesome job, no complaints.

Waitstaff arrived on time and did a great job. Went above and beyond.

We had two waitstaff and a bartender to help with a large holiday party. The staff were generally excellent. The bartender did put up a sign asking for tips which seemed a bit odd for a party in a private home. We had trouble communicating with Lore Salad before the party; they did not get messages from GigSalad and the phone number on GigSalad is apparently obsolete. Eventually we made contact with someone who agreed to a modified schedule but that was never communicated to the staff. It seemed that the staff was sub- or sub-sub-contracted. Nevertheless, they did a fine job, and were especially thorough with cleanup.

I am personal chef and needed professional server for assistance to provide high quality plated meal for 17ppl. Thank you server Sharon for your professionalism, intelligence and fast thinking. Definitely recommend Lore Salad for your events

Anderson and Carolina were wonderful! They arrived early and were dressed professionally. They reviewed the plan for their services and executed it very professionally. I was able to enjoy my Thanksgiving dinner knowing that Anderson and Carolina were cleaning up the appetizers while we were eating, refilling the buffet table as necessary and cleaning up the kitchen and packaging the leftovers. My guests were very impressed with their abilities as well.

I appreciated the service I got from Lore, but Sharon was AMAZING! She jumped right in helping me and even going further and doing tasks before I could think to ask. I would book again just to work with her again.

Made my daughter's birthday a memorable one! The guests loved it. Thanks for your professionalism.

Wait staff were friendly and attentive. They set up the buffet, served the guests, kept the buffet tidy and replenished the food and beverages throughout the event. They also assisted with the breakdown by helping to remove the chair covers, charger plates, and centerpieces and took the trash to the dumpsters.

This was our third time using lore salad and they are always reliable and send excellent help- Sharon and Jerry worked hard to make sure we were able to enjoy our event- they made our guests feel very welcome and well cared for.

I have to admit I was a bit nervous hiring from a website. I live in Florida and was planning a party in Maryland. I hired Lore as wait service for my daughter’s Baby shower. Oliver and Nidia were wonderful. They were very professional and efficient. They both treated my guests with great service and kindness. They were there ahead of time and cleaned up efficiently. I was so thrilled with the service from Lore Salad that when I plan my next party I will call them again. Thank you Renee for supplying me with your great staff.

Lore Salad, provided us with Bar tenders, Bar service, and waitstaff. It was my Son's wedding reception. Everything went really smooth and nice. All of the bartenders and the waitstaff were very kind, nice, and professional. They worked around the clock during the event without been on the guests way. They all were very enjoyable to work with. They did the set up and tear down very professionally and without any hassle. We felt they were part of the family and guests. I will hire them again if I had another event.

Very professional Waitstaff and bartender for a small wedding. So glad I hired them!

Super helpful and great attitudes!

Our bartender Mr. Renee was fabulous! Not just did make himself available on Christmas Eve, but he took care of every detail including signature drinks from start to finish. I would definitely use him again!

I can’t say enough positive things about our server Mika! From set up, making appetizers, serving drinks and clean up Mika did it all! There is nothing better than having a party and waking up to a clean kitchen.

The only thing I would have changed about the experience is that I was not informed that a specific person was coming to my event until 4:00 or 5 hours before it started, the day of (I booked a week in advance). It turned out she was lovely but I would have liked to know ahead of time who was actually going to show up so I could coordinate. No issues at all with the service thanks so much!

I hosted 10-person formal holiday dinner. Waitstaff were in time and professionally dressed for the occasion. Duties included assisting with serving, washing dishes and kitchen cleanup. These were all well accomplished and were a big help to me.

I was hesitant but he did very well. We had a fully curated craft cocktail menu and he prepared every drink with fixings as if it was his own. He was a bartender as well as an entertainer.

I am very pleased and will use again.

Servers were extremely hard working and professional.

We had Kathy as our bartender. She was punctual, very flexible, helpful and accommodating. Our party was very smooth and she was always there, ready to help whenever we needed it. Awesome company, will use again.

Nidia was excellent

They are always on time, professional, and friendly.

first time using waitstaff and she was awesome. the company was very responsive to my uneasiness given covid. I hope to work with them again.

Jose' showed up early for our event and was dressed professionally - he was very kind and courteous but needed a lot of direction. For example I had to ask him several times to walk around and clear plates. I also had to be very hands on with organizing the bar, setting out dessert etc. as he deferred to me on how to do these things -- no biggie but a proactive approach would be more useful in a busy party setting.

Lore was very responsive to all of my phone calls and questions which I appreciated. After some miscommunication about the event time, Lore still managed to fix the issue and everything went smoothly. I wanted to have a plated dinner in an outdoor, backyard wedding, and Lore events made this happen. The wait staff were very experienced and professional. They were flexible with their hours, and made sure all of the guests were happy while doing a huge number of tasks. I can't imagine doing our wedding without them.

The waitstaff was beyond expectations!

We hired Lore Salad as the serving staff for the cocktail hour and reception for my wedding on July 3, 2021. They were very helpful and agreed to up the catered food before arriving to the venue. Darianna was the main contact person for our event. She was very responsive in the week leading up to our event and very calming and in control leading up to the event. All severs arrived on time and they were ready to work. She and the other staff were very professional and attentive to the needs and request of all guest. I would absolutely recommend the services of Lore Salad to anyone in the area.

Bartender was super amazing friendly and nice and provided an amazing positive atmosphere. Will definitely be booking again for an event I’m so happy I found lore salad.

We hired Lore and 2 wait staff members and an additional bartender for my Son's Wedding Reception. Lore and his staff arrived ahead to set up prior to guests arriving , We had issues with the oven working and Lore and his staff worked quickly to resolve and get the appetizers out quickly so our guests were not impacted, they made sure all the guests and wedding party had everything they needed from drinks, food or cake. They all were willing to assist on anything needed and even were willing and able to stay an extra hour to help clean up as our event ran over the time scheduled for them to be onsite. I could not recommend a better group for any event. They truly were a blessing for my sanity and made this event a hit!! Thank you Lore and Staff for all your help to make my Son and new Daughter-in Law's event a success!!

Amazing service! Amazing drinks!! We will definitely be giving him a call for any other event that we have!

I highly recommend this company for your event. I've used them three times now and have always been impressed with the service.

Alex and Nadia were amazing. They worked fast and efficient. Very experienced in banquet service, and in the kitchen.

Bartender arrived on time, attended to guests, and was attentive to host needs.

We had Anna help at our dinner party yesterday- she was in constant motion helping in ways we didn't even know to ask for like preparing a tray of varied drinks and offering to our guests. Really helped make our event a huge success. Will definately ask Anna back for any future event.

I would for sure hire Alex again. He was on time helpful and very good at his job. Thanks again Alex and I’ll see you again soon.

Signed

Although we did not have the greatest experience due to the scheduled bartender being in a car accident, they did make it right by refunding a portion of the fees.

We had a cocktail reception and dinner for 16 at our corporate office for some very important guests. Renee went above and beyond to provide an excellent experience for our guests, and took the pressure off of us as the hosts. By "above and beyond" I mean he provided service well beyond that which we contracted. Renee made great suggestions about food presentation, which he then personally executed. Renee knows how to add the finishing touches that take an event to the next level. I would recommend for any event - large or small! I can say without hesitation that Renee made our event much better than it would have been without his presence. THANK YOU!!!!

Lore Salad made our wedding a success! Showed up on time and worked extra hard. The bar rapidly put out great drinks all night. The team cleaned dishes and left our kitchen cleaner than it's ever been. 💯 recommend for any event

Rene and his staff did an excellent job waitstaffing and assisting our caterer with wedding setup and after clean up. Highly professional, polite and very diligent at their jobs. They made sure guests were served in a timely manner and made the entire event run smoothly. Highly recommend Lore Salad. A++++++++

I was very happy with the server at our dinner, he helped plate and prepare food.

We were impressed with the service Lore provided for my wedding reception! He went above and beyond to make my day run smoothly and keep my guests happy!

I was really impressed with how hard these guys worked. They were friendly and they were on top of everything. They cleaned up constantly and everyone liked them. I can't recommend them enough. I plan on using them again in the future.

I hired 3 waiters from Lore Salad to help me with my New Year's Eve party. I had more than 90 guests. Lore Salad did a fantastic job. They are professional, polite with great attitude. I highly recommend them for your event.

I specifically order Lor Salad because we used them last year at our holiday function and wanted to get the same level of quality and friendly service that we received and got last year. This year's crew was disappointing. While they served and handled the event in a good manner, they were not great compared to last year's staff. The servers we had were not as friendly, did not know what was being served, brought out too much, too early, and did not ration the hors d'ouevres or stagger serving them. The service was ok, but not great. Next year I will think twice before using them, if at all.

great service from both bartender and waiter. very attentive.

Lore far exceeded my expectations! He was such a great addition to our event! He brought his own portable bar which looked so good, he provided beautiful glassware and did a fantastic job mixing our custom cocktails and drinks. I would definitely hire Lore again!

I couldn't but .ore to be happy with him. He promised 3 and got 4 why he noticed that the bar seen was over loaded with guests
I gave him 5 for effort and professionalism Really happy to have met him. THE Only flaw was the 2nd waitress left due to so.e foot issues half way in the event but that is ok.
He was there and event coordinator actor both ha d in ha d did it
Amazing work and clean up ...thanks

We hired a bartender for a Christmas party for over 20 people. Daniela was great. She arrived early and prepped her station. She offered to wash the glassware before leaving. Everyone at the party was happy with their cocktails and drinks.

The wait staff was amazing, and Lore was kind and easy to work with.

Very hardworking staff and willing to do anything to help!

Arrived promptly on time, well dressed and courteous behavior

Rene, our bartender, and Tirana and Mercedes, our waitstaff, were absolutely exceptional at our summer party for about 45 guests. They arrived early, set things up exactly as requested, and kept everything humming along without a single bump. I have never been so relaxed at my own party. Guests were asking all night where we found them. At the end of the evening, they gave us a huge head start on the clean up. Plus, they were just delightful people. Couldn’t be happier.

How could just one waitstaff person provide so much? Lore stepped in and really stepped up the tempo and fun at my brunch. I was basically behind in my party prep, but Lore came in with only one hour to go and prepared a fantastic presentation. Lore made some quick suggestions and, for example, transformed my everyday bacon strips to a rolled and baked chef’s delight. As I said, I was behind in my prep and before I knew it, Lore had prepared another beautiful and delicious frittata. In addition, he served my guests their Mimosas and Bloody Mary’s with just the right garnishes and attention. From start to cleanup finish, my brunch was so much fun - I certainly could not have done it without Lore!

First, the positive: the two ladies, Jesy & Selena, were very nice. They did a fine job serving the cake; packing up the food and clearing the tables from the guests. My recommendation to Rene was to have these 2 ladies work separately with more experienced people so that they will learn how to work a party without being told to do something. They stand together too often. My kitchen was never tidy as requested. I went to the food tent, saw no paper plates, then went back to the house to retrieve more, to find out the paper plates were already in the tent, however, the lady just didn't take them out of the package. She just stood in one place. I gave direction where to put the left over food in a large refrigerator in the basement and they stuffed it in a small fridge behind the bar that didn't work. We were upset as we were taking that food over to friends to enjoy the next day. About 15 pounds of food, mostly chicken, that we had to discard. It is fine to be pleasant, however, when you pay premium prices, you expect better experienced help. Please have them properly trained.

Brian was absolutely awesome and I would have him back in a heartbeat!! He was timely and jumped right in to help make our event successful. All of our guests were well taken care of and many wanted to know where I found him. I think they want him to attend their next event. 😊😊 I would definitely recommend him for your event!!

Renee was the bartender for our party. He arrived pretty early than the party for the setup. He was well dressed, greeted the guests and the cocktails were great. My guests have complimented him and loved his service. I’ll have Renee from Lore Salad for all my future events and I’ll definitely recommend him. Thanks, Renee 😊

Out of this world! Loved having him at our event, everyone said they didn’t have to lift a finger! Absolutely outstanding service. Will definitely hire Lore again!

We had Renee, from Lore Salad, bartend at my husband's 40th birthday party. He was awesome! We had several complicated featured cocktails, which Renee did a great job with. He arrived early and did a great job setting everything up, and he was very professional and friendly. All of my guests raved about him and asked for his contact info for future events.

I was also impressed with the booking process. I received a lot of quotes from bartenders through GigSalad, but I loved that Lore reached out to me personally to find out some more details about my event before sending a proposal. He followed up a few days before the party to make sure he had all of the correct details, and he I really appreciated his excellent customer service and communication.

We will definitely use Lore Salad again for future parties!

Great service, on-time, very polite!
Will use them again!

Lore was prompt and professional. The bartender and waitstaff were well trained, courteous and provided great service.

Couldn't be happier!!

I can’t think of a better crew. Some of the best people you can count on.

He was very professional and was very polite. Highly recommend!

He did a great job

Provided excellent service to my house party! Showed up on time, polite and provided many mixed drinks for my event! Definitely will request his service for my next month event!!!

I actually run my own bartender business and I had to reach out to Lore on a super last minute emergency for an event starting with in about 4 hours. Within an hour of reaching out, Lore set me up with a professional experienced bartender to cover the event on time. The customer was extremely satisfied with the service. In 4 years of business, we have never had a no-show for an event, and I have Lore Salad to personally for thank helping keep that streak alive! Would happily recommend him and his staff for any event!!

I specifically contracted with Lore Salad to provide pre-dinner/dinner service at one month before Christmas Day dinner. I chose him because of his listed experience, and his ad presents as a single provider, not a "service" that sends whoever. I had several specific texts with him about arrival time and arrangements, and he never indicated that he had alternate staff that might be sent. Unfortunately, the service person he sent, did not have sufficient experience to handle a dinner party for 10 (all of the food was prepared, she just needed to serve appetizers and freshen drinks). When it came time for dinner service, the timing was all off and my teenage sons had to help her out or it would have been a complete disaster.

I am so glad I hired them. I can't say enough good things about their service. They arrived early and took over the kitchen and bar, and afterward, everything was clean and put away. Very professional and polite. All around a five-star service. Highly recommend and most definitely will hire them again.

Great experience! I hired a bartender and wait-person for a private party. Team was on-time, efficient and very polite.

Loved my bartender! She was very professional!

We can summarize our event as being Epic due to the great service we received from Rene and Tarana. All the guests enjoyed bar services with Rene who made our event truly memorable with his smile and spread of amazing drinks beautifully displayed. We look forward to having Rene and Tarana back our next event and have and highly recommend them to our friends and anyone who reads this post. You will not be disappointed with their great service.

Edgar and Monica were fantastic! They made our Thanksgiving dinner with 30 guests so much more manageable. They arrived promptly at the time we decided and worked to make everything perfect. They were very easy to work with and stayed on top of everything that we needed. They even added extra little presentation touches with how they arranged our buffet table and desserts. I really could not have pulled it all off without them. I will definitely use them again. I give them my highest recommendation.

The bartender arrived an hour late. He said it was due to an accident on 95, then said he missed the highway exit. We ended up bringing our own ice, cooler and bottle openers, (Which he was supposed to provide) because he was so late. Although he was courteous and helpful after he arrived, I was disappointed; plus I paid for 4 hours of service. This was a surprise party and he arrived after the guest of honor. I realize that things happen, but one hour late is unexceptable. In northern VA you should allow extra travel time, heavy traffic is the norm. It’s better to be early than LATE.

The servers and bartender we hired were roughly an hour late to our wedding. That caused us some stress. Once they arrived, they were spectacular, friendly, helpful, professional.

Rene was excellent. He helped with arranging to cleaning. Super fast too. Always had a nice smile on his face. We plan to make him a regular for all big events.

He arrived on time and did a good job preparing the bar. The only issue we had was, we weren't able to get a hold of anyone to help us go through what was needed and what exactly the bartender was bringing.

Amelia arrived early and was a tremendous help from the moment she arrived. Lore was great about reaching out before the event to ensure that our expectations were met. I would absolutely use them again and would recommend them to anyone interested in assistance with an event.

Fabulous barman polite helpful very organised and a great cocktail maker!

Thank you!

They provided the best service I have ever used. Got waitstaff for a party of 50 people and it was done seamlessly by them. They made it all so easy and well managed, truly a professional service. Would hire again and again. Highly recommend.

On time went above and beyond would hire again and again

Excellent

Rene was nice to work with. The girl he sent was very nice and kept things clean. However she lacked experience. She was extremely slow to make drinks and she didn’t seem to know how to make drinks. She made several margaritas however we noticed she didn’t open the bottle of tequila so not exactly sure what liquor she used. We requested chocolate cake shots and she served them with lime wedges. We also specifically requested someone who could make a good old fashion and she was unable to make them well. Rene is obviously the one with experience and we wish he stayed however it was probably our mistake since we requested a female bartender although we asked several times that the person be experienced

I hired 2 waiters for a birthday party. The staff was on-time, very professional, and knew exactly what to do and when. Both were on their feet non-stop making sure our event went smoothly. I would definitely hire again for a future event.

They were on time Andy ready to work his team was very professional and I hope he will come back next year

Very professional excellent services very hard working

Rene was great. Could not have asked for any thing more. Definitely made our party of 60 with kids running around everywhere a lot easier on us.

Very well trained staff. Well dresses and courteous.
Highly recommend Lore Salad!

Rene was prompt, professional, and experienced. He assisted with our wine dinner party for 20 people with ease. He was quick to recognize guests’ needs, help with course plating, dinner service, refills, and clean up. We will definitely hire him again.

Over exceeded our expectations
