National Bartender Staffing

Jonathan arrived early and was very helpful. He interacted well with the guest. I will definitely hire him again.

Keith was awesome during the booking process he answered all of my questions and responded quickly. Pam and Jonathan were great during the wedding. They were immediately on it, showed up on time, showed up dressed professional. They helped make the big day go smoothly.

D’Angelo and Maleah were amazing! My first booking with GigSalad and it was a success! D’Angelo and Maleah were professional, kind, and easy to work with. They “took charge” and allowed me to enjoy our family function. Thank You, Maleah & D’Angelo!

The help was very positive and professional- thank you!

Our bartender was a total sweetheart! He went above and beyond, mixing cocktails drink by drink when he was just supposed to dispense punch!

He was a pleasure to work with. And the booking agent I worked with on GigSalad was fast and responsive.

Our server picked up our food as planned but it took a long time. She was not as helpful as I had hoped with keeping all cleaned up, serving and running smoothly.

Paige arrived on time and helped set up the tables. She was pleasant and was willing to help with whatever we needed. Great attitude and easy to work with. Thank you!

We had 4 wait staff for our wedding. I sent them tasked I prefered done per my wedding timeline and everything was completed to a T. I will definitely return to national bartender staffing for any future needs

The servers were capable, thoughtful and kind to our guests.

Our staff person was a lovely person but she really seemed out of sorts. She would respond to basic things we would ask her to do but there was no proactive anything. She basically poured drinks and that was it. I think she should be kindly be guided to events with simple tasks. I offered more in pay for our event because it was new years but in the end paying someone $400 to stand in one spot doesn’t feel worth it.

Definitely great to have a little help for our company holiday party. Our server Julie was super helpful ensuring our guests had drinks and made sure our food table was replenished. W oh me definitely use this service again.

Nice guy. 864.00 for 4 hours. I checked no tip jar but there was still a tip jar, this is a work holiday party. We supplied the drinks.

Fabulous service- Tony was very personable with our guests and very organized with the bar and the serving

Our go to service provider. Accommodating and dependable.

Elsa was on time and extremely professional. She was able to support our Thanksgiving evening held at my parents house in just the manner we needed: casual and professionally. She allowed us to just relax and enjoy the evening without a single worry!

I hired them for my engagement party. Bartender showed up a few minutes late. I requested formal attire and information wasn’t communicated to the staff who showed up wearing a shirt. I also had booked a server who didn’t show. I was hesitant to write this review but I really hope they improve their service.

Elizabeth was an amazing bartender, she showed up wonderfully dressed and went above and beyond.

Wait staff not satisfactory.

Erik and Tory were servers at our son’s engagement party. They were absolutely amazing. They worked hard, communicated well with us and were extremely responsible. We could not have asked for better servers.

She was great:)

Communication, timing, price and presentation was good. I could tell that the bartender was fairly new at this as he had to look at recipes on his phone every time which slowed everything down. More enthusiasm, perhaps to make substitute recommendations when some of the existing ingredients were gone, would have gone a long way. For the party of this size I would have preferred someone more experienced that can move a little faster. Nothing wrong with the bartender, great guy, but more suitable for a smaller and mellow party.

Tori was great. Very helpful !

Keith was very responsive and really helped make sure everything went well. The wait staff was also very helpful and arrived on time.

We couldn’t be happier. Solomon was incredible. He made everything so easy.

Pam and Jessica did a great job. I would use their services again. My guest where happy with everything.

I wish there was a way to rate this service with 4.5 stars. Tony, our bar person was clean, professional an on time the day of the event although; contact with her was a bit tight time wise. Professional looking and presentation, mixed drinks were fine however, guests were expecting to have their chosen drinks freshly mixed instead of picking up an already prepared one. I can understand the idea behind having ready made drinks however, the fact of having a barperson is to have a freshly mixed drink. A list of drinks being served list would have been helpful. Aside of that things went well. They were on top of the drink service with very little almost no supervision from my part, aside of checking a couple of time to make sure they had all that was needed thus freeing me up to enjoy our gathering. I will not book them again, I will recommend their services to anyone that would ask about bartending for a gathering.

Excellent experience. Very professional staff, and self starters. Very happy

My event manager, Keith, helped to meet my expectations and provided a great planning experience to make sure my wedding bar went off without a hitch. My day-of bartenders, Carina and Alexa, absolutely crushed it behind the bar. We purchased spirits, mixers, beer, seltzers, and wine, and Carina and Alexa made sure no one was unsatisfied. We had a rowdy crowd, to which they matched the energy.

Nothing but high praise for National Bartender Staffing and the selected staff (Carina of Carinas’s Cantina Mobile Mixologist, and Alexa)!

Hello! We could not have been happier with Lelani at Richard Miller's Celebration of Life at 32Ten Studios in San Rafael. She showed up early, stayed late, provided great professional service and looked absolutely beautiful on top of everything. Thank you Lelani and to your supervisor who sent you to us! You were a big part of making the event smooth and memorable! Cheers, Marianne Heath (for the Richard Miller Celebration).

Keith and Martelli were great to work with. Martelli showed up right on time. He was friendly, professional and helpful.

I am very pleased with my experience! Pam is such a sweet, friendly, polite, professional and dedicated person I’ve ever worked with. She was on time and ready to start. She is very detail oriented and doesn’t need instructions for every little task. She was on top of her job and at the even she wasn’t even in a rush to leave. She stayed extra and helped without us asking! I’m looking forward to working with her again in the future

Excellent work!!!

Carina wad excellent. She was on time, very professional and personable. Made some very delicious drinks. All of my guests were very pleased.

Everybody worked well and was super helpful. I would definitely use them again if needed.

Good

We had a small wedding reception, Toni was helpful in organizing the buffet and even helped me finishing cutting some salami.

Another successful party with wine pourers from National Bartending!

We used National Bartender Staffing for a company holiday party and it was great! Amy was so helpful and kind. I would 100% hire her again!

Thank you Cole….you were wonderful

They made everything much less stressful and made us feel special! Thank you for taking such good care of us on our wedding! Will definitely be booming you for future events! 🤗🥰

If you need event staffing look n further than National Bartender Staffing! I needed a bartender to serve at a house party, and Tiffany, our server, was fantastic! She was knowledgeable, friendly and courteous. She stayed in communication with me ahead of time so we could coordinate, and all of the guests loved her. Keith, the overall coordinator was also great. He was very responsive to all of ny questions ahead of time and even sent me a detailed shopping list for drink supplies based on our number of guests and the drinks we wanted to serve. This was such a huge help and helped to lower my stress level. I would use this service again and highly recommend them.

Kylinda and Niyla were awesome at our pre-wedding cocktail event- incredibly helpful & proactive with anticipating all our needs. We got so many compliments on how wonderful the event was and the great staffing. We highly recommend them!

Professional and courteous service staff, thanks for providing your help during our family’s funeral.

We ran into issues during our initial booking and Keith worked with us to resolve it and helped provide us stellar services for our future events.

We will definitely be using their services again.

I hired three servers for a small intimate wedding with Keith. He was amazing to work with and the ladies who helped us at the wedding were fantastic. They were always willing to help with re stocking the buffet like, buffer the tables and clean up at the end. Amazing work, they really helped us out. I also booked last minute and Keith was very flexible with me. I definitely recommend using them if you need help at your wedding.

Tiffany was great to work with. Made everything simple and easy. Knowledgeable , friendly and fun. Would highly recommended her to anyone.

China was on time. She set up the bar and her station efficiently and neatly.
She was most pleasant and all that she served was met with definite satisfacction.
Should an occasion arise again, I would request her services.

I can't say enough good things about these guys. They are an absolute delight to work with. Keith helped us organize and select our drink menu for our backyard Luau. He gave us a shopping list of the ingredients needed for our cocktails based on the amount of guests.

Diego was the bartender for the night wen't out of his way to connect with me the day before the event to make sure we are on the same page. He even printed out a menu of our specialty cocktails for the night. He checked in with me throughout the night to make sure everything was good. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THESE GUYS.

Friendlier staffs

Hi Kieth ,
Sorry for delayed to reply I’ve been busy cleaning up the beach house .
What I seen some quite odd were ..
Setting up tables I had everything in the box for each table to set up they didn’t complete what I made instructions book for them to do and they didn’t add glasses they forgot to bring them on table. Also they didn’t start moving the tables right after ceremony that I had to cut my time shorter for photography to get the staffs start bring tables out while my guests are in cocktail area waiting for the seats. It was unexpected very windy at that moment that we had to struggle abit harder to make everything we cud.
No one in my guests were complaining besides myself and I’m ok with that LOL I love your staffs they are doing their best they can and they did show me so much support. They had me feel comfortable having them around doing what they can becuse I was lost at the moment. I learned so much and I wish I had wedding planner that I wasnt sure if I need one. SMH
I gave good tips for each of your staffs in person for their good hard work and I wud recommend all your servers to anyone for the better.
Thank you so much 😊
-J Vega

Keith was amazing to communicate with and our event was flawless. Would hire again anytime, thank you!

Lakisha was amazing! She was so helpful she showed up early before serving our guest for set up. Immediately she gave my husband a list of what she needed. She was so professional and kind! All of our guest loved her! I will definitely hire this company for future events.

From the moment I got in touch with Keith, he was very responsive, adapted to my needs in short notice (1 before the event) by providing waiting staff and a bartender for my event. I was even able to rent the cutlery, the plates, cups for the event from him. Would highly recommend for your next event.

Thank you for our event as planned!

Keith, the booking agent, and Sam, the bartender were both professional, knowledgeable, and responsive. Sam was a great bartender and had a friendly and helpful attitude. Thanks!

Lakisha and Nosa were just what I needed to host a party in my backyard for my husband’s 70th birthday. They passed appetizers, set up the buffet and kept everything tidy during the party, and all with a smile! It was great to be able to visit with my guests! Thanks again!

I'm so glad I chose National Bartender Staffing to serve at my event. I needed one server and Nosa was the perfect fit. He helped in set up and his keen eye for detail made our appetizers look perfect for our Tea timt. Thank you! You helped make this family event the first of many to come!

I hired two servers to help with a bridal shower. They were on time, we’re on top of everything I asked them to handle and had a great attitude. I would use them again for any event.

Service was amazing

Fantastic couldn’t of had a better teammate
He rocked the cocktails and everyone was beyond happy. Thank you thank you

Beautiful tasty and Diego was lovely

Professional and efficient

I received a confirmation for Gig Salad that my booking was accepted National Bartender Staffing. I was provided with that name and phone number of the supposed bartender. The bartender was scheduled to start at 5:30. At 5:45 I called her, no answer, so I left her a message. I called the staffing agency but got a voicemail. I left them a message but received no call back. Very unprofessional and very disappointing.

I submitted an inquiry on GigSalad for a bartender for my mother’s 70th birthday. Right away I received a very reasonable quote from
National Bartender Staffing along with a few others. NBS’s offerings and quote far surpassed the others. I contracted NBS and worked with a point person who was responsive and made the coordination process more than easy. We discussed signature cocktails to serve and he provided a shopping list of ingredients and quantities for each. So easy! Our Mobile Bartender contacted me prior to the event to introduce herself and firm details. She arrived at the event on time and prepared. She was personable yet professional and made excellent cocktails for our guests. She even received a loud round of applause! There was a small snafu with the glass vendor at the end of the event but NBS handled it so I wouldn’t need to. NBS is ***** (5 stars) all the way! I thank them very much.

Fantastic experience. Keith and Amber accommodated my requests. Amber showed up earlier to prep and to adjust the drinks’ recipes ahead of guests arriving. She was courteous with guests, and delivered drinks all night. I was able to extend the hours beyond what it was originally contracted without any problem. Keith followed up promptly at every turn. Highly recommended.

Our bartender was friendly and on time. Easily conversed with our guests and helped the other girls we hired serve dinner for our 14 person dinner party. We had hired a Bartender from National Bartending Staff, but she didn't know how to mix drinks. We had requested someone who knew how to make Martinis and Manhattans. When one of our guest had to show her how to open a bottle of wine, we knew mix drinks were not an option. After getting to know her, she said the bar she worked at as a bartender had their cocktail drink options premixed and ready to pour. She was professional and friendly as mentioned previously, but not qualified for what we requested and paid for that evening. I don't think she had any idea that we were going to ask her to mix drinks. Although everyone had a good time and "helped" bartend, the service was not what we were expecting.

China and Sarah were very professional, sweet, and capable! China reached out a couple days before and made a drink menu for us based on the alcohol we’d bought. They showed up early to set up, kept everyone happy throughout our wedding, and did an awesome job. Thank you!

I recommend hiring them for your staffing needs for any party. They understand what we expected of them and helped us with all the things needed. Very polite and easy to communicate with.

I had the best experience with National Bartender Staffing (NBS). The bartenders were amazing and so were the wait staff. I have worked in the industry for 18 years as a wedding and event planner... I can say with the upmost confidence that NBS is literally the golden ticket for your event when it comes to having high quality, efficient, professional and fun bartending/wait staff. Do not look any further when it comes to your bartending and server needs... your event will be top notch with the representation from NBS. I look forward to working with NBS in the future.

Keith, the company owner, responded to my bartender request promptly.
Despite me trying to book last moment, he assigned a lovely bartender named Raylia for our Birthday party.
Keith tweaked the cocktail menu I created and passed it on to Raylia so she knew what kinds of cocktails to make.
Raylia came on time and set up the bar. She even brought cocktail picks in gold/black according to the color scheme of the event. She made alcoholic gummy bears to decorate cocktails with which was a special touch and the guests were very interested to taste.
Raylia had great problem solving skills and was able to perform despite minor set backs as far as us missing some of the supplies, etc.
I would definitely recommend National Bartender Staffing for any events and will definitely hire them again in the future!

The bartender was nice and did an excellent job.

I had booked this company for a classy, black tie 70th birthday party for my Dad held at my home outdoors.
The request was for 1 bartender and 2 waitstaff. Waitstaff was to arrive at 4:30 to help set up. The 2 waitstaff arrived at 5:15...the party started at 5:30 pm. They came with black jeans and only one had a black dress shirt while the other had a white short sleeved polo. This was a black tie event so they looked out of place and unprofessional. They also came with no masks. I had to ask repeatedly for them to keep their masks on throughout the night. They were completely unexperienced at parties which the worst part. Passed appetizers were a fail. They didn't even know how to slice the bread and put it in the bread baskets. They had to be reminded to keep food coming from the kitchen to refill chaffing dishes. No experience cutting cake and serving. Did not refill water in the glasses or wine during the dinner. They left dishes in the sink and garbages full. They really didn't help at all and I had to be in the kitchen with my brother to make sure the food was placed correctly in chafing dishes. I would have been better off hiring my son's teenage friends. I am giving them 2 stars because the bartender came early, set up, and knew what she was doing. She cleaned the area after her shift and was professional. Would never use this company again!

Accommodated my guests and I!
Thank you!

We signed a contract to have morning staff to help set up a wedding reception and evening staff to work the reception. In the week/days leading up to the event, I attempted to contact the service coordinator multiple times via telephone and messaging to confirm times, number of staff, etc. I never heard back from the coordinator. The day of the event, the morning staff that was in the contract never showed up, leaving us in a difficult position to set up the event without the additional help we expected. The evening staff showed up on time and were very professional and completed the event exactly as expected. Overall, due to the lack of reliable communication and contract agreement not being met, I would not recommend this company, nor would I book them again. However the staff that did come to work the event were professional, hard working, and greatly improved the quality of the event.

The bartender and wait person provided for our outdoor home party of approximately 50 were excellent. And Keith was always responsive and very helpful with all our questions ahead of time regarding beverage quantities, mixes, and so much more. We highly recommend National Bartender staffing.

It was a great service, Definitely recommend to others. Bartender was on time, very polite and excellent in holding small conversation.

Thank you Nikki for being such a great professional bartender! Everyone enjoyed chatting with you and you kept the drinks flowing steadily! Thank you for a wonderful job!

We had two servers for party of 45. They put in an extraordinary effort to make our party a success! They listened, learned quickly, and were so friendly to me and our guests. If they didn't know how to do something they were quick to ask and execute. They were cheerful and a lot of fun to work with. My guests were so impressed and wanted to know where I found such good helpers - of course it was GigSalad.

Waitstaff were good. They were friendly, professional and were able to get the job done. However they did show up over 30 minutes late.

Carlotta was fantastic and Keith was super helpful and responsive while booking. I would definitely book with them again.

Kenneisha was an absolute joy. Even with the time mix up, she was on time and adjusted her schedule to fit our needs. Everyone loved her personality and her drink preparation was outstanding! I am glad my guests showed her the appreciation she deserved.

The bartenders were friendly and hustled when the arrived to the minute they left. We’re very thankful for their hard work! We probably should have had an additional bartender to take the load off the two of them but they handled it with ease and had peoples drinks down on their second trip to the bar! We had compliments on their hard work all night!

We hosted an on-line fundraiser recently and hired a National Bartenders mixologist (tony) to create an ocean-themed cocktail and mocktail for the event and demonstrate to participants how to make it. We received the ingredients list in advance to share with our attendees and during the event Tony demonstrate how to make a truly delicious Ocean Lovers Blue Margarita. How "guests" loved it and Tony was a delight. We would use this service again and ask for Tony.

Servers were on time and assisted with all the tasks that kept our event running smoothly!

Ms Franklin is a complete delight! Very professional. Excellent bartender who I would definitely want to have at my events. I would definitely recommend her to anyone having an event.

Kenneisha was the bartender for my 40th birthday party and she was very friendly and professional and made great cocktails. We were very happy to have her at our party.

Kenneisha lead a staff of 9 other waitstaff whom were very professional, friendly, and diligent. I received numerous compliments from family and friends whom attended the wedding about how well the waitstaff performed and how genuine they were in their deliverance. I would recommend their services to all my family and friends and if the chance arose in the future, I would utilize their services again.

Great customer service, personable and drinks were wonderful. Enjoyed service provided by Keith Lamont!!!

Keith Lamont is a great event planner. He anticipates your needs before you do. He’s reliable and honest. I highly recommend his services.

Oh man.....National Bartenders is really great. I gave my mom a surprise birthday party and the bartender, Cheryl was amazing. Everyone loved her. Keith helped me with my mom’s favorite...flavored mojitos. Everything was great. Will always use them. My friend is using them for her party.
