Polly and her team were great! They helped with a bit of a tricky event on our vintage yacht. Her and her staff were flexible with a few last minute changes and did a great job interfacing with guests and working with the tricky nuances that an event on a boat can bring! read more

Yet another five-star review of Polly Martini. We previously used Night & Day to help with a party- in that instance a different server than promised arrived... an hour late. We didn't know what to expect from Polly Martini. We thought poor service may be the norm in this industry. We were wrong. So wrong... We will never use anyone else for our parties from now on. We had ~40 people for a casual house party with around 14 different entrees/dishes to be served, buffet style. Booking the service was efficient and professional and Polly called to confirm everything the day before the party. The day of, we were already behind schedule (there was an unfortunate incident with a mandoline slicer) when Polly's guy showed up. Tyler came in exactly on time, strapped on an apron, and started preparing and plating the dishes like he had been working in a Michelin rated kitchen all his life (this opinion was from my co-host who actually was previously a chef in a Michelin rated restaurant). He worked hard literally all night long. Not to mention he was a hit with ALL of our guests (at one point we had to ask them to stop pestering him so he could do his work). I'm certain that without Polly and without Tyler, our party would not have been half the success it turned out to be. Bravo guys! read more

My fiance and I had quite the task ahead of us as we were planning our SF wedding while living in LA, but we were determined to do it. As we were going through the planning stages, we came to the realization that our venue had an exclusive bar vendor that was grossly overpriced and provided horrible customer service. After painful research and negotiations we discovered a loophole in the exclusivity agreement which lead us to hunt down an alternate beverage company. We searched all over the NorCal area for qualified beverage vendors, conducted meetings, reviewed contracts, and wasted time/efforts until we found Polly! Polly should be known as the SF event beverage queen! From our first phone meeting, Polly set a standard of outstanding customer service, positive attitude, having great personality, reliable communication, and an overall genuine care for her clientele. She proposed us a fantastic package based on our needs, was quite flexible with our additional changes (post-contract), and provided us great recommendations to ensure that our wedding was staffed and served adequately. On the big day, Polly and her team delivered! The drinks flowed with ZERO issues, the bar was stocked/staffed well, the servers tended the tables, there weren't any shortages, and Polly ensured that all our guests stayed hydrated. My husband and I sincerely thank Polly for being one of the easiest and most reliable vendors from our wedding. We'll definitely utilize her services again for any functions we have in the area. read more

No words will do justice to my appreciation. I planned my birthday party, my first big event, and my friends are still raving about Polly Martini days after the event. I had a serious accident 2 years ago and have reached a milestone birthday so the celebration was multi-fold. Polly embraced this. Polly was professional, helpful, knowledgeable, organized, super hard working, she took care of my guests, and she helped keep my party running smooth (she didn't have to). She brought a wonderful staff including a fantastic doorman. My party was so much more and better than I anticipated and I know it had much to do with Polly Martini. The event center owner remarked how impressed he was with Polly Martini. Polly was so easy to work with, she was enthusiastic, personable, and a great mixologist. Her hard work, dedication, and passion for what she does shows! I would not hesitate to highly highly recommend this company. read more

Polly Martini's Bartender & Event Services - Polly Martini worked my birthday party and went above and beyond. - Party & Event Planning Near Me - San Francisco, California

I cannot recommend Polly enough. My brothers and I are triplets (crazy I know). We contacted Polly for our 30th birthday with a behemoth of a request. We expected 60-90 guests to stop by and needed bar tenders for 4 hours on a pretty tight budget. This was no easy task, as our guests were big partiers and drinkers. Polly delivered with flying colors. She helped us design 3 great signature cocktails in addition to open bar and stayed within our budget. She was super through the entire planning process. Not only were the bartenders super fun and friendly, but they were also professional and helpful. They even helped us setup for the party just to be helpful!!!! I highly recommend Polly's services to ANYONE looking to make their event memorable. All of our guests commented on how great our bartenders were and it made the event even more personal and special for us. Thanks Polly! read more

Amazing service! Would highly recommend and we will definitely be reaching out again for our next event! We reached out to Polly Martini's for a bartender with very short notice. We had reached out to many other companies beforehand and no one could help. Polly and her staff were attentive, helpful, and really made our event successful. CJ is the BEST!! We will definitely be requesting CJ for our next event :) read more

A friend of mine recently hired [and I think he probably was a returning customer] Polly Martini to help out with his house party in San Francisco. The whole idea is that while they provide the services that you hire them for, they will not act like hired help. Three beautiful gals [Polly included] worked the bar, helped put together some tasty hors d'oeuvre, and essentially made sure that everything was running smoothly. They were all business, but all smiles. Services Offered: Bartenders, Servers, Hostesses, Promoters, Drivers, Event Coordinators, Door girls, etc. I had no idea that they also provided limo services, etc, until I looked them up on their website. Maybe for a trip up to Napa or Sonoma, I'll give 'em a call. If you're throwing a party or have an event you need to staff, definitely look into Polly Martini. [ESPECIALLY, if you want some hot young thangs to work at your event!] I would be enthused to see 'em again at a future party/event. They are charismatic and personable, and completely professional. read more

I can't believe it's taken me so long to write a review for Polly. Here's the story: We planned a Tacos & Tequila party for my littlest daughter's 1st birthday party. We were going to have about 90 guests, adults & children. I met Polly at a work event where her and her sexy bartending colleagues threw a perfect event. I was impressed, but wanted to make sure that the bartenders at our party were more, um, age-appropriate! Polly knew just what I meant and came herself to the party and brought her amazing and very able colleague, Krystal. Cut to the night before the party: My husband who had knee surgery a few days earlier was writhing in pain at about midnight. We went to the ER and stayed there until 1PM the next day. Guests were arriving at 3pm. When Polly rang the doorbell, my husband was still in the hospital, my nanny was out with my daughters and I was an exhausted basket case. Polly took one look at me and sent me to bed! When I came out, I saw Polly crossing off the To Do list I had written for MYSELF! She set up the entire bar, tidied up my kitchen and living room since I hadn't gotten to that yet, put all the decorations out and set up the tequila/margarita bar much better than I ever could have. Whatever tools, ingredients, etc. I was missing, Polly either had already or she ran out to get. I still can't get over that she just took the initiative to take my To Do list and just get to it! AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME. She also helped me in the run-up to the party decide what drinks I was serving, what sipping tequilas to get, what flavor margaritas to make, etc. If you want your party to go off without a hitch, call Polly. She is amazing and even if you don't have your sh*t together, she will get it together for you! read more

I heard about Polly Martini's Limo service last year by word of mouth. Just in time for my cousins prom! My cousin was frantic, explaining he needed a limo for about 10 people and didn't know where to start or what to do. Because I didn't want him to get ripped off like I did, I decided to contact Polly Martini, confident that they would provide service superior in degree as my friends had described. Their services did not disappoint. Polly was very professional and handled everything with a level head. Conversing with her via phone and through e-mail was easy, convenient and her service was reassuring. The process itself was not complicated nor arduous and longer than need be. Customer service is clearly important to this establishment, huge plus. There are a myriad of Limos to choose from, whether you want to arrive in a luxury sedan, a limo or an SUV limo, black, white, beige, variety is a huge plus. As Polly is in high demand, you may want to consider booking early. read more

You can say your bartenders are doing a great job when your guests ask for their contact.

My friends and I spent an amazing day in Polly's limo riding through Sonoma for a wine tasting tour. Her entertainment company hooked us up with all the best wineries and the limo was fantastic! We had a great time with the surround sound system and the mood lighting. We are already planning to use Polly again for next month's tour. read more

We used Polly Martini's limo service for cruising around the city taking pictures for our wedding. And my experience seems totally in-step with what everyone else is saying. Some streets got blocked off in the neighborhood we were getting married in for a S.W.A.T. team drill or something crazy, so we took the opportunity to snap a lot of extra pics in the middle of Montgomery street. We made Polly and her drivers wait around for probably about an hour before we ever got in the cars. The cars were good enough, and were fully stocked. Polly gave us a bottle of Grey Goose as a gift, so we had a good 'ol time driving around bumping KMEL and crushing Vodka-Red Bulls. Polly was pretty much on top of things beforehand and really rolled with the punches as far as planning the logistics of the day. So I'd definitely recommend her services. Good all the way around. For two cars and three hours, including tip for both drivers we paid $700.00. Not bad. read more

I hired Polly Martini and her staff for a work event. I found her via Yelp and her reviews did not disappoint! She was great to work with, very responsive, understood our needs, and arranged everything. Some of her reviews mention the bartenders and I asked her if they could dress more "conservatively" for our event and she immediately understood and assured me she would make sure of it. All bartenders arrived in black collared shirts to my relief with no cleavage spilling out :) Also, they arrived on time, got set-up, and then found additional things they could help with for set-up of the event- outside of their bartending duties! I couldn't believe it- they were so helpful! The staff was very polite and friendly. I will definitely use Polly Martini next time I need a bartender and would highly recommend her company for any of your bartending needs! read more

I wanted to get a limo for a city tour around San Francisco on the night of my 21st birthday, and I'm so glad I found Polly! Polly was very prompt in replying to my emails with questions about pricing, packages, etc, and her emails were always professional and cheerful. I'd contacted a bunch of other limousine service companies, but none of them had the same level of professionalism that made me confident of the level of service I would be getting with the limo. And I was right in deciding to go with Polly, because our drivers were the sweetest people ever. We asked if they could take us on a city tour before arriving at our first stop, and they took us for a lovely drive over the golden gate bridge to vista point. We got to take pictures, and although it was really cold (we had coats, they didn't), they offered to help us. My friends and I also kept changing our minds about our itinerary, since we didn't wanna waste time waiting in line at a club. So they drove us from club to club, and when we decided we didn't wanna wait in line for any of them, they offered suggestions on other places we could go to. And then my friends wanted to use the restroom, so they helped us find one (a very nice clean one too) and we had to make another stop. The limo itself was also beautiful, with a great sound system and fun lighting. Although we didn't get the alcohol package that Polly offers, the limo came stocked with water and soda and cups. Overall, I had an amazing night, and would highly recommend Polly's limo services! read more

Fortunately I encountered Polly Martini's service to plan a last minute private party. I may have given her a difficult time trying to plan everything last minute but she handled everything very smoothly and professionally. Polly came through and made everything happen the day before our event -Her colleague Carole served as our bartender she -was very fun and personable -did a great job mixing a variety of drinks -went out of her way to ensure great service -provided extra perks to make our party a blast! Thanks Poly & Carole for a job well done, we had a great time! read more

I've been fortunate enough to not only see Polly's bartender's in action but also use her limo services. Her bartenders are not only pretty faces, but they know how to mix. It's not Coyote Ugly, unable to serve drinks that aren't jack and coke. They certainly don't drown their drinks in alcohol or mixers. For the most part, the drinks are made the way you want them made, and they can pour you harder if you want. ;) Oh, and she advised her lady bartenders to wear short skirts for when they carried the drinks up the spiral staircase and...let's just say the male contigent at the party were very happy. Her limos are nothing to scoff at either. Nice light effects on the undercarriage and in the car. Flat screen LCD playing the most recent DVDs (Iron Man when I went), and enough alcohol to put you in a coma for the weekend. And not cheap alcohol either...we were rockin' the grey goose and johnnie walker black label. Hot shit. And the limo driver was very courteous. She hooked it up with club entrance that night--it was Vessel--and we were partying like rock stars. Thanks Polly for an awesome time! :D read more

I must I admit it, I was a limo virgin. That is until I attended a party and Polly's Limo service was in charge of taking all the guest back to San Francisco. I was very excited to be finally inside a limo, as my friend told me great things about how cool Polly's crew is, and sure enough it was one amazing nice and fun ride. Rockstar experience all the way! The really neat thing about Polly's Limo is a very nice bar in it, as much as I had such fun at the party and didn't need more alcohol, others were definitely eyeing the booze and commenting about how nice it would be to drink a little bit on the way to a bachelor party, getting the gang started is definitely the way to go! The limo itself was in pristine condition and the driver Simon is nothing less than courteous and professional, I had a moment of disbelief, like wow I cannot believe I am living the high life today and will go back to my own little room in the city, like is this FOR REAL? so that was my cinderella experience, maybe next time I will actually go buy some glass slippers and wear a big fluffy skirt, haha read more

Our event was last Sunday, August, 8. Our driver, Shonn is amazing. He suggested locations and were on time in bringing us to the wedding venue. We wanted to take photos at Stowe Lake but when we got there, it was raining so we can't take pictures with our wedding dress, so Shonn suggested to head to de Young Museum where's an area there that is shaded. He also suggested to head to Shakespear garden after. I am sure our photographers had a blast taking pictures of us around the venue! Thank you Polly for such on time driver! And thank you Shonn! you are amazing! I will definitely going to use them again and will refer them to all of our friends. read more

Polly and her staff are great! She was more than willing to work with me when it came to getting one way service from Richmond on a Saturday night. While other limo companies were charging me hourly rates, Polly was more than willing to help me out with budgeting and charging me a one way rate. She even gave us a slight discount because we were part of a fund raising event! The night of, our limo driver was courteous and helpful. Due to an injury, we had to make an impromptu stop at the ER. Our driver was kind of enough to make a stop there before taking us to our original and final destination. I will definitely use Polly Martini again and again! read more

Was having a surprise birthday party/going away part for my best friend. Found PML on yelp and setup the birthday event. Not only did they surprise my friend but the event was unforgettable. Service was professional, didn't have any hiccups, and had a great time. I highly recommend PML for your next event. read more

Polly is a fantastic party planner. She's organized, prompt, meticulous, friendly, and generally awesome to have at a party. She recently planned a fabulous birthday party for my husband complete with floral designs by the Flower Bandit, a great cocktail bar, and the most amazing in-house sushi bar. I'm a bit of a picky client and wanted to create custom cocktails including a passion fruit martini, a meyer lemon margarita, and two different G&Ts. Polly went above and beyond sourcing the required ingredients (including fresh meyer lemon juice, edible flowers, and specialty tonic water) and perfecting the recipes. They were awesome! Polly's sushi team are out of this world. The chefs set up an awesome sushi bar on my kitchen counter and dished out freshly made rolls and nigiri all night. The quality was well beyond what I expected from in-home chefs - akin to what you'd get from a great sushi restaurant. I've run a LOT of corporate events and was impressed with Polly's coordination throughout the process. As we planned the party, I felt like she really cared about realizing my vision (which we did!). She's meticulous about every detail and had set-up and clean-up timed perfectly. As soon as she showed up at my door, I felt like the party had started. I didn't have to worry about a thing because she managed it all wonderfully. All in all, it was a fantastic night! My guests all had rave reviews and wanted to know how I'd coordinated it. I just kept telling them that it was all Polly Martini! read more

Polly served a networking event we had on incredibly short notice. She was professional and timely in communication, her prices were competitive and above all, her event execution exceeded expectations. I would highly recommend Polly for any event you may be planning. read more

Just one more review to add to the long list below - Polly provided bartending services for our Indian wedding in Petaluma, CA in September 2022 and did an amazing job. Unlike other bartending companies that provide a bland all-you-can drink package, she was willing to work with us to let me do the purchasing of the alcohol so that we could procure exactly what we wanted for our event. She helped provide purchasing estimates, and we worked together to come up with specialty cocktails. Despite having a large crowd (150 people), she worked seamlessly with our catering folks and wedding planner to make everything flow without a hitch. I really appreciated all the thought and attention that she put into making homemade simple syrups prior to the event that really made for some excellent specialty cocktails - we received a lot of positive feedback - and we have a lot of people in their 30s who would like to consider themselves cocktail connoisseurs ;) read more

We have hired Polly Martini's Bartender Event Services for our holiday party at work. The bartenders are amazing. Very professional and friendly. They helped set up and clean up. They come with their own tools and expertise to make attendees happy. We received rave reviews from the attendees and most of all my boss was very impressed and pleased with the service they provided. I look forward to hiring them every year! Thank you for the amazing service read more

Bartending?! Professional and still tons of fun. I had the pleasure of having Polly Martini bartend at my friends wedding. She was all smiles and kept the drinks flowing without pause. She was dressed very nice and she was very friendly with everyone. Some of the other guests even thought she was guest! When thing slowed down at the bar she even went out on the dance floor to dance with the guests! Polly Martini also has a limo service that me and my friends used for a Bachelor party. The limo is very nice inside and out and well stocked. The driver was very professional and responsive to some of our crazy requests (you know how bachelor parties can get). All five stars are definitely earned! read more

I have used Polly for several events. She is a superior, attractive woman with class and reliability. Her staff arefantastic look proffessional, make sure yourparty runs smooth and they get the job done. Regarding her limo service. Its a fun ride from the begining to the end. She makes sure you get to your event on time and you look like a star when you get out of her limo. 5 stars Miss Polly and thank you again. :) read more

Polly has done several events for me and I have introduced her to friends... she and her girls have done an amazing job. All of them are stellar. All the headache is gone. Except for the morning after because the drinks were so good. =) read more

Polly is amazing!!! I had friends use Polly and liked what I heard, so we hired her for our wedding, and we were so glad!! Right from the start she asked all the details, and listened to what we needed. She anticipated needs we didn't even think about! She also arranged our ride to the reception from the ceremony in a beautiful car. The day of the wedding was amazing! We were running late, and when her servers arrived early it was such a relief! They finished setting up the reception room so we could go get ready :) They followed each hurried direction we gave them perfectly. Everything looked perfect! Her bartenders met each guest as they arrived with a glass of champagne! They kept the tables clear, glasses full all night. They even cut the cake! They cleaned all the dishes and packed up our table decorations. They were so professional, we can't thank them enough for making our wedding day that much more perfect!! My sister just had a birthday party and asked me who we used for the wedding. I gave her Polly's number and she was so happy! The server who worked it was also AMAZING!! I am so happy, I really look forward to using Polly again soon!! Thank you so much Polly Martini!! read more

Polly Martini and her staff ROCKS!! We hired her company for bartending a very large Halloween Party at our home. They showed up on time and ready to go! They were extremely professional and knew how to treat customers! They even made some unbelievable jello-shots ahead of time that went right on with the theme of the party! We will be using them again and again. read more

Polly Martini's is the BEST!!! Sometimes the difference between enjoying your own party or running around like a chicken with your head cut off is paying attention to one or two small details. One detail is hiring someone to manage the mixed drinks. We were so happy that we let Polly Martini's Services bartend our party. Our guests loved having someone pour them drinks and make things quite fancy. We also didn't have to worry about supplies or clean up. Great show. We have worked with them for four years now and will always hire them for our parties, especially the big parties with over a 100 people. They are extremely professional. Thanks Polly Martini's Limo and Bartender Services Saeeda read more

Let's face it, getting (and keeping) people drunk at a wedding is a very important job. Our caterer recommended Polly Martini for bartending services. They sent us Victoria, who was AMAZING. She was a true professional and a sweetheart. I was (admittedly) a bit of a Type A bride - I was hyper-organized, with a long list of guidelines written down - but Victoria put up with me, so she gets 5 stars. She poured wine, she mixed rum punch and margaritas, AND she poured beer from a keg. What a trooper! I highly recommend Polly Martini Events for all your party alcohol (*hiccup*) needs! read more

I use Polly Martini for all my corporate events. Polly & her team are top notch professionals at all times. They are beyond accommodating, professional and make amazing cocktails. I've given basic ideas for specialty drinks and they deliver above and beyond each and every time! I highly recommend for any event, they're that Amazing!! read more

Highly recommend Polly and her team! We were expecting about 60 people for a 40th birthday party and Polly was very helpful providing us with a list of what to buy, plus we were able to rent from her a table and linens. Carole and CJ, who arrived to bartend, were friendly, professional and fun! They went out of their way to remember what everyone was drinking so they could quickly prepare it. Plus, CJ ran out and grabbed a few more items we ran out of and they both stayed an hour later than we originally booked. They added a great element to our party and I would not hesitate hiring them again for another event! read more

Hello, I just came back home from a party in beautiful downtown Hayward where Polly Martini was tending bar. Yes, it is true all these reviews. She is a smashing gal and took care making sure all the guests were happy. I cannot imagine that our host and hostess would not be delighted with Polly Martini by the end of the evening. read more

We hired Polly's staff (2 servers and a bartender) for a birthday party and the found the whole experience extremely pleasant. Even though one of the serves had an accident on her way over to the party, the other server and bartender did come on time and were thoroughly professional throughout the event. The rates were reasonable as well. We had Diana as our bartender and she was great and the guests loved her mojitos. Not to mention her sweet and pleasant demeanor. We would gladly use this service again. read more

Polly Martini is Amazing! We had a very detailed and I must say confusing schedule! I never thought it would go smooth! But Polly Martini did above and beyond our expectations. Our Drivers were Fabulous. Mr. G absolutley the best. We did a "Rock Star" weekend for our two children and Boy did Polly Martini make them feel like they were Rock Stars. We will be heading back to the City in few months and Polly Martini will be who we will use as they are the Best! The communication is amazing and the service superb! Thank you for making this trip the best ever! Rhonda, Gerry, Mike and Lexie! read more

I had a good experience with Polly, and a not-good experience. If you get Polly herself, she is great. If you get the B-team, not great. We had a very slow bartender and a bunch of servers just standing around. So we have moved on. Try OnTheRocks. read more

I've definitely had too many limo rides and party servicing businesses that disappoint and that is not at all what I experienced with PML. I recently rented a limo for a girls night out on the town with some friends and our driver was amazing!! He showed up right on time to pick us up, was super friendly and made us all feel very well taken care of. You know how sometimes you'll get a driver who is just all business and barely talks to you, this was not our guy at all. I don't remember his name otherwise I'd shout him out specifically because he definitely added to the fun of our night and was totally professional the whole time as well. All they need is to add party buses to their fleet and I will for sure be a repeat customer. Thanks PML you guys were great! read more

Polly has amazing events service with an attractive, attentive and very professional staff! All the cocktails are hand crafted and delicious. Particularly the Old Fashion and Mojitos. I've never felt more taken care of and tended to. Everyone was very friendly and outgoing and conducted themselves in a very professional manner. They also do themed events for any style party you want to have. Dress up her hot staff in whatever theme you want! You can't get any better than a gorgeous wait staff serving you your drinks. Polly's always creative with her drink options and she'll pair the perfect cocktails to suit the style of your party. You have to get Polly Martini and crew for your next party, event, or even just a private home party. She will suffice all your bartending and service needs! read more

I had a pretty bad experience with Polly Martini's service. I had scheduled a wine-tasting trip with some friends and was picked up around 10am. Off the bat, the driver was pretty unfriendly and the limo didn't have a hookup for music so we had to use some shitty speakers. Not off to the best start. It began raining in the middle of the day so the driver didn't allow us to go to specific wineries (the ones we chose) because it would be muddy and he couldn't get mud in his car. Sure, understandable but I thought his job was to take us to our destination instead of dictate our destination? After arriving back to SF ten minutes late (5:10pm), we tipped the driver $60 and asked if that would be sufficient for the late arrival. He assured us it would be. A couple days later, I saw a charge on my credit card for $150 from Polly Martinis. As you can imagine, I was pretty upset since: 1. They never communicated that I was late. 2. They never communicated they would charge me. Instead, Polly sent some canned email soliciting for a yelp review and pushing for a 5-star. Infuriated, I called several times, never got an answer, and ultimately called my credit card company to dispute the charge. Instead of refunding me the difference, she fought my bank and ultimately lost the chargeback. I'm going wine tasting again and will not be charging Polly Martinis. read more
