I worked with Brian to set the cocktail menu + offerings for my event, the entire process from start to finish was super simple and extremely affordable compared to other bartending caterers I was looking into. Brian and his team showed up for set up way ahead of the event to ensure everything was in it's place and ready to go. The team was extremely flexible the night of the event and went with the flow as some of the event logistics shifted. The drinks were the star of the event - everybody raved about their Garden Variety Margarita + kept going back for more. Overall I can't recommend Cocktails in Motion enough for events and parties, I will definitely be working with them again!

I have nothing but great things to say about JJ Staffing Events!…read more My mom hired them for my Sweet 16 and the day ran so smoothly.

I highly recommend them for any event you have because their efficiency made the day great.

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.

We hosted a summer party at our home and needed help so we could spend more time enjoying ourselves…read moreand not get bogged down with all the hectic work of running a 50-person cocktail party incl passed hors d'oeuvres. I considered Craigslist but was afraid of who I might get in our home so instead called Model Bartenders and they asked me all the right questions to make me feel at ease. Marc was attentive, through and quick and made me feel like he cared about our event and making it successful. I thought since they were models they might be above pitching in to help (replenishing ice at the bar, clearing dishes, cleaning up) but was so wrong - these guys were GREAT and went above and beyond my expectations. Didn't hurt that they were very easy on the eye!! The fun part was picking the two models for the party - they have a great roster of really attractive folks. Aside from that I didn't know what to expect but they were there on time and dressed professionally and worked so hard all evening. One of the guys was Tommy was AMAZING! He was attentive, smart and was thinking of how to help run the party successfully. They both helped at every stage from prep to cleanup so they made our night easy. I saw another review and had a completely different experience so will likely use them again.

He was hands down the best bartender I've ever hired. Jeff was incredibly professional, kind, and helpful in every way. He made sure everything ran smoothly and went above and beyond to take care of our guests. From start to finish, Olivette was outstanding. She were so responsive and supportive throughout the entire planning process--helping me put together the ingredient list, offering suggestions, and even replying to texts when I was at the grocery store trying to find specific items. Both Olivettes and Jeffs customer service and attention to detail made everything feel seamless. I highly recommend Olivette for any event--and if you can request Jeff, do it! You won't be disappointed.

From the moment I spoke with Olivette I knew I was in good hands and she "understood the assignment". Caitlyn, Cynthia, and Chris arrived on time and handled all the set up. They even helped my husband unload the food trays from the car! Without any guidance needed from me they prepared a beautiful tablescape. Caitlyn and Cynthia located items that I had not put out but were needed to accommodate the food and bar service. Once my guests arrived they made sure food and drink service was seamless and that all tableware was continuously washed and replenished. Chris was at the helm on the bar. You name it he made it on request. -- margaritas Moscow mules, martinis, gimlets, cosmos. I definitely will keep Raise Your Pinky on speed dial for my next event!

It was all on white table cloths with glass and floral/water displays. I wish I took close up photos. But we had coconut shrimp, steak, pizza, veal piccata, egg rolls, salads, fried ravioli, sushi and much more. It was a feast. Seriously a feast. Usually I have a lot of picky eaters who say something about the food. My family and friends can be tough to please. Everyone gave me resounding great reviews of the food this time. Kids and adults alike were happy. The food was cooked fresh on site. So nothing felt pre-cooked, cold or like it was sitting out. The display was elegant. They kept refreshing food stations as it was getting gobbled up. But because it was so elegant, even at the end of 5 hours when it was over. The whole place still looked great. I do a lot of events. Some caterers can be pushy about knowing what is best about what you should serve. Not Ellie, he made suggestions but he wanted to make sure I was happy. So everything we asked for he delivered and then some. He even handled our 12 grape tradition with ease. La Mila event included the waitstaff, the bartending and provided the tables, and both silver and glass displays for the food. I'm sharing photos of the overall venue and the grapes. Because I forgot to take photos of the food stations. I will see if any guests took some photos. But even I just dove right into to eat. But Ellie really made the event spectacular and delicious. I highly recommend La Mila and will definitely use him and his team in future. Thank you to all the La Mila team for an amazing New Years event. As well as your prompt and efficient clean up.

Casey and Brett are professional, extremely creative and very detail-oriented! I partnered with them in planning my office holiday party two years in a row. I initially reached out to them after attending many of their public events around Brooklyn and Manhattan. It was always a memorable experience - everything from their DJ's, entertainers, lighting displays and promotional material - they're the whole package and I knew they could provide something extra special for us. After a quick call, they provided me with options/prices that they offer, ideas that were so creative and also work-appropriate. Medium Rare was on-site start to finish and made sure everything went smoothly. I was able to really soak in and enjoy every moment of the event with everyone. My company was SO impressed and still, over a year later, talk about the holiday parties as one of the most fun they've ever attended. They were so great to work with and exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend them! They'll impress you with their talents!
