Reliable, professional, friendly service

Reliable, professional, friendly service. We utilized Barbara’s elegant touch staffing to provide a bartender for our 40th wedding anniversary party. The party was held at our house and included approximately 40 guests. Barbara provided the bartender as well as a portable bar which was set up on our deck behind the house. The service was timely, friendly, and the bartender was knowledgeable. I couldn’t be happier with the results.

Loved working with Barbara and her team!

Barbara was wonderful to work with.
Her staff was amazing! We had Will as our bartender who was extremely knowledgeable and can make any drink you wanted. Our guests loved him. Meadow was our server and she was absolutely wonderful to work with. She was so in control and was on top of everything. She was a great help with replenishing food, bringing food in and putting them in storage containers in the fridge and bringing out additional food. She was also very efficient in clearing the tables with used plates, utensils and cups.
Thanks to Barb and her team ( Will and Meadow), my husband and I were able to enjoy our kids grad party! I would highly recommend Barbara’s Elegant Touch to all my friends!

Waitstaff

Barbara was good at getting back to me, contract was straight forward. She stopped by to make sure Kristen who was our waitstaff had arrived and she did not need any help. Kristen was gracious and professional. Very nice and easy to work with. Did exactly what I asked her to do. It was a party with a lot of pots and pans to wash and she did so graciously. I will definitely use Barbara's services again

Bartender service

We had two bartenders come to our home pre wedding event last week. Barbara was one of the bartenders. They were both so professional; timely and super friendly.

They kept our guest happy and kept up with an event of 120-150 people. I hardly saw the line get to big because they were just that quick.

Thank you so much for your help in having a successful event.

A big help!

Abbie was such a help at our event. I am so used to hosting and cleaning up after everyone all night that it was really nice to be able to enjoy and socialize with my guests instead of pick up dirty plates and cups! She helped us pack up the appetizers and desserts so it wouldn't sit out and spoil, took care of the trash as needed and kept out bathroom tidy. I definitely would use again!

Outstanding service

Russ from Barbara’s Elegant Touch bartended our event. I had not hired event staff before and now I will never go without. Russ was amazing. He went around asking if individuals needed drinks if there was a lull. Everyone commented how fun it was to have him as part of the party. I recommend Barbara’s Elegant Touch highly. I’ll try to get Russ for all my events!

The food was DELICIOUS!

Barbara personally delivered the delicious chicken vesuvio and lasagna for my 45 guests. It was hot, well packaged and got rave reviews from my guests of all ages. I also hired Christina, a waitstaff, to help manage the party. Christina worked very hard and did a great job! I am rating 4 stars because the food was delivered 25 minutes earlier than I had requested. I would definitely use Barbara's Elegant Events again.
