Leandra arrived early, pitched right in and worked hard the entire evening. She arranged appetizers, served food and drinks and cleaned up after an elaborate Thanksgiving dinner. I highly recommend.
We had 3 servers assist us at our indoor/outdoor party for about 100 people. They were absolutely fantastic! We've had servers at this annual event for the past 10 years and no one else was close to being as good as this group. On top of that, they were so kind and enjoyable to talk to. So many of our guests commented not only on how good of a job they seemed to do, but how nice they were to talk to. We had a team of husband (Paul), wife (my bad but I'm forgetting right now) and daughter (Tess). They did a fantastic job following the directions we provided, as well as great self initiative on everything else. We do our own final clean up the day after the party, and we have never had less to do. We would, and will, absolutely request them for our event next year.
The pour people exceeded my expectations in every way! They were the wait staff for my wedding and they went above and beyond for us. They were so nice, fun, professional, and did everything we needed and then some. Hire them for your event you will not regret it!!!
Response from The Pour People:

If you ever need our services again in the future, don't hesitate to reach out. Wishing you all the best!
The waitstaff was on time and needed very little direction. I will not hesitate to use them again or refer them to family/friends.
Response from The Pour People:
Thank you for your positive feedback! We're thrilled to hear that our waitstaff met your expectations. We appreciate your support and look forward to serving you or your referrals again in the future.

Response from The Pour People:
Thank you Chris for your continued trust and support! We look forward to hearing from you all every year. Thank you for choosing us!
Soliel was exactly the hostess I was hoping for. She was so wonderful with all our guests. She helped with coats, drinks, food (cooking & serving from toaster oven). She even taught me something new adding water to keep the ice bucket cold when I was low on ice. Would recommend!
Response from The Pour People:

Response from The Pour People:
Thank you for your glowing review Michelle! We truly enjoyed you and your guests and would love to be a part of future events! Your home was beautifully decorated we've been talking about it all week! 😁
I have been working with this group for over 3 years, and have never had any issues! Great to work with and great service!
I highly recommend The Pour People for your corporate or private event. The two bartenders arrived on time and were all set up before the first guests arrived. They served everyone with a smile and helped clean up. They correctly estimated the number of soft drinks, wine and beer that would be needed for 65 guests. And the price for the event was very reasonable. I am so very pleased and I am telling everyone about them. Thank you.
Response from The Pour People:
That's so kind of you! Thank you for the wonderful review. It means a lot to us! We hope to be a part of future events with you all.
This is my 2nd time using the Pour People and there will be a 3rd! Excellent service with a smile, a winning combination!
The Pour People were perfect for our house warming / birthday party. Tanesha was a great bartender and really made a lot of delicious drinks for us! Thank you Tanesha and Pour People.
Response from The Pour People:

Wonderful people and great service for our holiday party. Definitely recommend!!
Zuleyma was awesome and worked great with the crowd. She was professional, personable and on task!
We hired The Pour People for my husband's 50th Birthday party. Our Bartender Shawn was great! He made a variety of Martinis that my husband had requested. He was able to quickly whip up the guests drink requests quickly. Would definitely recommend .
Response from The Pour People:
Thank you Anna! It was a pleasure serving you all at your husband's 50th birthday celebration. Thank you for allowing us to be apart your special day!
Tess and LeAndre are fun and professional! I would definitely want them at another party!
Response from The Pour People:
Thank you for having us again! It's always a pleasure serving you and your guests!
The staff were absolutely fantastic from the moment they arrived. They were all professional, attentive, hard-working, and friendly. We had our worries about hiring someone in general for our wedding and reception, and they blew our expectations out of the water. We couldn’t be more happy with the staff from The Pour People, and would highly recommend them.
Shaun was our bartender from The Pour People, he was prompt and was prepared for the party. He brought all of the bartending supplies for a proper and professional bar set up.
The Pour People are on my list for the place to hire a professional bartender.
Response from The Pour People:
Thank you for the kind review! It was a pleasure serving you and your guests.
Outstanding service by both bartenders, very attentive and quick. Will definitely hire again for future events!
Response from The Pour People:
Thank you for allowing us to a part of your special day! You, your husband, and your guests were amazing people to be around! It was a pleasure serving you all!
Prompt, punctual, and great attention to detail. Will use again.
The people of The Pour People were absolutely amazing! I cannot recommend them enough. So kind and loving during our special day. Thank you so much!!!
Response from The Pour People:
Thank you! It was an absolute pleasure providing service to you and your guests on your special day!
Having the Pour People handle bartending for my party was great - such a huge help!!
On time - great drinks and took care of my guests with exceptional customer service!
The Pour people were extremely helpful. I will definitely book them again. Great service. Thank you guys!
Response from The Pour People:
Thank you for your review! We truly enjoyed being of service at your celebration!
They were on time and did a great job. I would hire them again!
We had a great turnout for our event and the Pour People Team was attentive and able to keep up with the steady stream of patrons at both bars and the food table.
Everyone came to the event together so everyone was on time. Every other staffing agency I work with doesn't operate like this, so that was really nice. There was a lead server who organized everyone which was super helpful to my team. Everyone did. great job and my client and myself couldn't have been happier.
I was very happy with the service. Thank you Tanesha for being so great! She was helpful and took charge of the food setup. I also was pleased that she arrived on time and jumped right in. And she was pleasant and friendly. I will definitely use you again.
We used The Pour People for our Christmas day with the family. Tenille was amazing! We had some family members sick and unable to make it, she really helped pick up the slack. She was friendly, funny and fit right in with our crazy family. She kept herself very busy and was always on top of everything. We would welcome her to the family again!
The Pour People helped make our Christmas Party a success. Shawn corresponded with me prior to the event to help me devise the perfect cocktails for the occasion. We were having a Christmas with Marilyn Monroe Party and Shawn was so astute and savvy he suggested a Marilyn Martini and inquired what flavors and ingredients did I want to have. So besides serving, the Pour People, helped me organize the party. Fransisco came prepared with his portable bar and tricks in crafting perfect cocktail after perfect cocktail. Fransisco was always very personable and professional. He set up and cleaned up promptly. Will use them again and again.

The bartending service provided by the Pour People was excellent! They brought all of the items we requested (bar, mixers, garnishes, ice, etc), served our guests for the evening, and left everything cleaned up (including the glassware we provided). THANK YOU for a wonderful service - we would definitely recommend!
We had a Fall Festival for our company and we had The Pour People come out and Bartend for our event.
They were great, professional, courteous, and quick to get our guests what they needed.
Great service!Highly recomended!
Josh was on time and knowledgeable, stayed late to help as our party guests decided to eat later. I would use The Pour People again!
The servers arrived on time and were very personable and efficient. I was very pleased with the level of service and the professionalism of the staff. The venue manager at Glessner House was also impressed and asked me for the name of the company.
Do not even think it twice! Hire The Pour Company for your event. Sean and his team went above an beyond making my birthday extra special. The drinks were delicious and my guests were super impressed. Organized, knowledgeable and very professional company. I will definitely have The Pour Company as part of my future events!
Great people to work! Jeff was more than willing to go above and beyond to ensure my event was a success. Regardless of what the job description said, Jeff jumped in wherever he could help, from serving to clean up, vegetable chopping to mopping - couldn't have asked for more. Thank you for making my event a hit!
Esau was great! We provided the alcohol, and he kept me informed when my supplies were running low, and the guests enjoyed the service that he provided as well. Thank you, I would definitely book The Pour People again.
Great experience with the Pour People. Very accommodating and manage our event with ease. Will use again!
Rocky and Calvin were very cooperative and did a great job. Plan to bring them in for all of our needs going forward and have recommended them to our caterer as well.
Excellent waitstaff who were willing to help with anything, and constantly on their toes, to ensure the event was successful!
