We had an amazing experience with Brittney at our private event--truly a five-star bartender!…read more She showed up right on time, was incredibly accommodating, and made the entire process effortless from start to finish. Brittney was easy to work with, professional, and brought such a positive, welcoming energy that our guests immediately felt comfortable. Her bartending skills were top notch drinks were made quickly, consistently, and tasted great. She handled the adult crowd seamlessly while also being so kind and engaging with the kids, which made a big difference for families at the event. What really stood out was her attention to detail to keep the bar area clean and organized throughout the night, anticipating what guests needed, and always doing it all with a smile. She truly went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great time. Highly recommend Brittney for any event--you won't be disappointed!

This was my first time planning a party and hiring a bartender, so I honestly didn't know where to start. I was very pleased with Daylann and Gold Standard Staffing. She was incredibly helpful from the beginning to end. When I requested a quote, we spoke over the phone and she shared some great ideas that helped me solidify what I wanted from a bartender. She was clear about what I needed to purchase (and what she brings the night of service) making it very easy for me to prepare for the bar service. She was available the weeks leading up to the party to answer all my questions and never once made me feel like I was asking dumb questions (although I probably was). The day of the party arrived, and she handled everything. She was friendly, made delicious drinks, and just took care of my guests. If I need a bartender for a future event, I will 100% be calling Daylann and Gold Standard Staffing.

From the moment the owner arrived, they brought energy, professionalism, and a true flair for mixology that tied together our entire gathering. The setup was stylish...I think Instagram-worthy. They came with their own ACTUAL bar! (We were going to used a decorated raised table) and the owner came fully prepared with everything needed to keep the drinks flowing. But let's talk about the drinks... sheesh!! Each cocktail was not only beautifully presented but incredibly creative and delicious. Think fresh ingredients & unique flavor combinations. You could tell the owner (Joseph) put real thought and passion into every pour. My tribe is not easily impressed but The Groovy Cocktail company didn't disappoint. I was nervous not seeing any reviews but from the moment I sent an inquiry the process to set up was better than I imagined. On top of all that, the owners personality was a huge bonus. He was friendly, fun, and totally on top of his game. He and the asst person kept the vibe upbeat and made everyone feel like a VIP. If you're looking for a bartender who goes above and beyond to make your engagement memorable, look no further. I will definitely look to book again when I host my next event

It doesn't surprise me that bad…read morereviews are not acknowledged, since nobody from Ovation responded to a direct email about a disappointing experience we had with them during the winter holidays before the pandemic started. I was recently thinking about the upcoming holidays and possibly throwing a party again, so was searching here. When I saw that Wayne responded only to a good review here, it reminded me of how I felt when nobody responded to that email, even though it was a while ago. I want others to beware now that people may be starting to have bigger home parties again. We booked 2 servers and a bartender with Ovation for our home holiday party, which we had thrown for many years using a different staffing company that went out of business due to the owner retiring away from the area. We never even remotely had a bad experience with that company in over 10 years of using them. Ovation was a different story. Three very nice people in appropriate server attire showed up, but it quickly became clear they were not experienced with working a home party. Also, none of them was a bartender. They were surprised that we expected them to serve drinks! They also couldn't seem to get the food prepped and set out on the buffet in a timely manner, despite arriving early, with the same amount of prep time servers had always had in the past, everything being laid out for them, and my helping with things I'd not had to help with in all the other years. They also didn't keep the buffet table replenished or straightened up once the guests arrived. The one server jumped in to help as bartender, but had no experience. I was very embarrassed, given how well our party had always gone in the past. We still tipped the staff well because it's not their fault that Ovation didn't send a bartender as requested, and sent servers to a home party who really didn't know how to work one properly. The day after the event, I emailed Wayne about how poorly the evening had gone (pretty much what I've said in this review with more detail) and never received a response. Not even a simple "I'm sorry," which would have gone a long way. I had already paid and didn't ask for a refund or any compensation. I just wanted Ovation to know that the service wasn't in line with all the glowing reviews I had seen, and for them to acknowledge that things had been screwed up on their end. This party is a tradition that is very important to us, and Ovation embarrassed us, but clearly, they didn't care. Now that the pandemic is easing up, we will book staff for our party with another company. If I had received ANY response to my email, I might have given Ovation a second chance (obviously once COVID allowed) to get it right and probably wouldn't have posted this bad review after all this time. Based on the service we received and lack of follow up, I do not recommend Ovation to anyone who wants to have a smoothly-run elegant event in their home.
