5 stars -- our event captain Marcus was incredibly easy to work with, and kept the team running smoothly when things were feeling hectic. The whole team - bartenders, servers, and bussers - were communicative, helpful, and professional the whole evening. Our point of contact leading up to our event, Kerwyn, was also very supportive and made the whole process easy, despite a number of updates on our end.
Julia Valler Event Staffing was the perfect fit for my event. They were very quick to respond, took care of all my requests, and the day-of event staff were phenomenal. I would highly recommend using Julia Valler for your event!
Paola was great! 0 complaints. She was smart, communicative, super helpful and happy. Probably the best single day staff that I've come across, sincerely. And I hire event staff quote often bt the US and EU. Very much appreciated. I will def keep Julia Valler in mind for future events, when the location fits.
We hired J Valler to assist with a pre-wedding reception and after party in Malibu. They arrived early, were dressed professionally, worked quickly, communicated thoroughly, and consistently had a positive and professional demeanor. They went above and beyond to make sure guests were happy, and they checked in with us frequently. I highly recommend this outstanding company and look forward to working with them again!
