DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!
I was promised and paid for, 750 serving for my wedding and they only showed up with 450! We ran out and the maid of honor had to run to buy more. The company was not apologetic and when asked for compensation they told me
"they weren't in the financial situation to be able to compensate me for the error!" Not to mention the bartenders showed up 40 min late with no cold drinks. Trust me - unless you want your bar to be a joke at your event DO NOT USE this company!

These guys are incredible! We booked them for our wedding and they did an amazing job. Their staff super friendly, and professional. I requested a complicated drink (The hot apple pie, pictured below) as my signature cocktail and they executed it perfectly! was a huge hit! They're very generous with their pours, no weak drinks were served. 5/5 would recommend!

I hired National Bartender Staffing for a 90th birthday party at MOAH in Lancaster, CA, on the recommendation of our caterer. They were outstanding! They offered various bar options. We went with the Full Bar Option 1. It worked out perfectly. I loved that we could choose two “signature cocktails” in addition to the bartender being able to make just about any other drink. (The Blue Pineapple Martinis are really good!) The option included wine and beer as well. Paul and Katie were very communicative as I planned the party, both by phone and email. The bartender was exceptional. He arrived early, was able to ad lib with the tables available to make a perfect setup, was very professional, friendly, and funny. As the host of the party, I will say his personality actually made me feel calmer! He just had a great presence – calm and in control. Hiring National Bartender Staffing was one of the best decisions I made. Highly recommended!

Our company was celebrating 30 years on the market and they threw a HUGE party. Two floors full of people. I had no idea that so many people even worked here! So the bartender really has a lot on their hands, but they were friendly, engaging and made everyone feel welcome. Not to mention, their drinks were outstanding! The team's ability to handle a large crowd with ease was impressive.

I hired this company for my birthday party and it was really the best decision! Many of us can make cocktails but when the professional staff do it - it's more funny. The staff was very friendly, polite and my guests liked them a lot. In your glass you had enough alcohol, tonic and ice cubes of course. Everybody was pleased. I can highly recommend them to others!

I strongly regret hiring this company.

My wife and I hired this company recently for our wedding. The staff showed up late and left after 3 hours of being at the event, when we paid for 9 hours of work. Even while they were at our event they did not perform the work we hired them for and had clearly stated in our discussions prior to the event. My father-in-law had to go to all the tables and pour the wine, guests had to get their own water and drinks. After the dinner, my groomsmen had to do the cleaning.
The waitstaff did however eat the dinner for the guests (we had ordered extra so they could have some as well, but they ate it at the same time as our guest, so they did not do any of the serving we hired them for). They also did drink some of the alcohol, and one was smoking a joint at the event.
They also did not bring the ice we had payed extra for.
I spoke to the management on the night of our wedding (after the staff had left without informing me) and was told we would be receiving a refund. It took over 6 weeks of me calling and emailing various people in the company multiple times a week to eventually receive a partial refund (still paying for more than 3 hours of their service). This was probably the worst part of the ordeal, as looking back on the day of the wedding I had to be constantly thinking of dealing with the company instead of thinking only of the amazing day I got to share with my friends, family and my fiancé (now wife).
I know experiences will differ drastically with who is sent to work the event, but I strongly encourage anyone to be very careful with hiring this company, particularly with an event as important as a wedding.

If I could give this company negative stars I certainly would. This company is extremely unprofessional, late, and send very disrespectful and inexperienced bartenders to events. I really wish we could have done our wedding over again with any other bar company. I highly recommend avoiding doing any form of business with this company. And be aware that they operate under different names but have the same management.

There was the birthday of our company and we needed the help of professionals so we hired National Bartender Stuffing of Southern California. I would like to thank to the staff we got – they were really good! We had no complaints , our guests were satisfied and I have to say the staff worked hard but perfectly. I will highly recommend this company
