Natalia was communicative, understanding, and exceeded my expectations in her orientation to detail, passion to make our event the best, and reliability. For our event, Natalia & team built a 5' tall balloon letters, spelling out "PbP". She constructed the letters perfectly, as it matched the exact color and proportions of our nonprofit's logo. And throughout the entire process, she checked in with me on which colors I preferred and what my vision was for the event. If anyone is looking for event planning or decorations for their event, I HIGHLY recommend New York Key Staffing.

She had a good sense for what needed to be done without being explicitly told. As a result, things ran very smoothly. There were moments where I was convinced Natalia had psychic powers, or at the very least an intricate surveillance system that gave her insight to every single person's needs. If someone needed a cup, she would appear with one. If someone had crumbs on their face, she'd show up with a napkin. From setup to cleanup, Natalia was a huge help. She wouldn't even allow us to help wash dishes afterwards. I highly recommend New York Key Staffing.

2 out of the 6 waiters didn't show up!!! ** AVOID!! **…read more We hired JJ Staffing Events for our wedding in Endless Mountains PA, they seemed very professional online and I spoke with Jamilka on the phone before hiring them. I was surprised that they were out of NYC but advertised in the Scranton area, so when I expressed concern about them coming 2 hours out of the city, she assured me that they travel well and personally guaranteed that they would show up. There was a 'travel fee' associated with the captain and each of the six waiters I hired - presumably towards renting a collective van or bus so they would all arrive together. We took her at her word, paid everything up front and confirmed a few days before the wedding. Of course, 2 of 6 waiters did not show up. One third of the workforce. The captain, Jamy - who was late arriving with the other waiters - had no idea where they were. Our coordinator was informed at 12 noon that a 'car had broken down' and that was that. Jamilka was unreachable. Captain Jamy had no solutions to offer. Nobody contacted me. There was no attempt on their end to find replacements, even though the reception didn't start until 6:30pm, plenty of time to find other NYC servers or even to find local replacements. Instead, we were scrambling all night long because losing 33% of the waitstaff meant that every single thing went 33% slower: Set up was way behind schedule so the attention to detail really suffered. Personal items meant to be placed and moved were abandoned because we had to pull different workers from their specific areas to do the server's set-up jobs. At the event itself, we now only had 4 waiters for 115 guests!! So naturally, the buffet stations were sloppy and not replenished on time, people couldn't get water refills or drinks quickly, spoons were immersed in sauces, food was lukewarm at best because when it was hot only 4 people could bring it, not 6. There were empty plates not bussed, empty shavers and dishes sat around, the 4 waiters were running for their lives, it was all very noticeable. Our cocktail hour was supposed to have 4 servers walking around with hors d'oerves, and I honestly don't think we had any at all. Very embarrassing. When it was time for the bridal party toasts, the waiters were so scattered that 2 of my friends and I - the groom! - had to hustle up to the house to find the Proseco and then run around pouring it for the guests ourselves!! And at the end of the night, I still tipped the servers well but Jamy thought it wasn't enough and straight up asked me for more! Regretfully, I actually GAVE her more money because I used to be a waiter and know it wasn't their fault that their co-workers were no shows!! But still, unbelievable. Bottom line: We planned this wedding for 9 months and the functionality was severely compromised due to JJ Staffing's negligence and irresponsibility. THEY DIDN'T ALL SHOW UP!! Jamilka *should* have been mortified and reached out immediately - but inexplicably, she didn't send any kind of correspondence of acknowledgement or apology at all. Not Saturday as things were happening in real time, or anytime afterwards! I had to reach out to HER to ask about this situation! She basically took zero accountability, said it was just 'bad luck'! And then offered to refund the 2 servers fees, as if that would make everything okay in her book. Her actual quote was: "Issues as such are not how we run our staffing agency." But.... Yes, yes it is!! Terribly unprofessional on ALL fronts. Please avoid hiring them and get waiters that actually show up - after all, the best ability is 'availability'. Find another company, you can do much, much better.

Ara Farnam of Rock Paper Scissors provided day-of event styling for my restaurant wedding reception…read moreand she was terrific! A month before the wedding, we had a meeting with her and the restaurant owner for a tasting and to discuss the setup details. We were so happy she was there because she helped me understand the table setup logistics and she helped us choose the food we had served. Since I was on a budget, I purchased all of the decorations and set up the sample guest tables and welcome table on my dining room table at home, took pictures, and emailed them to her the week before the wedding. The morning of the reception, she arrived at the restaurant, received my decorations and floral arrangements from the messenger service and styled the room to perfection! It was amazing how calm I felt that morning because I knew Ara had the decorating covered. Ara is extremely talented, professional, and warm. She was there to greet me when I arrived at the restaurant and even put the boutonniere on my husband's suit jacket. She is definitely a great person to work with and I recommend her to anyone that needs any kind of event styling. She offers different event styling packages to suit different budgets. My wedding was a success thanks to Ara! Can't wait to work with her again!! Maybe for my anniversary party!
