We had an unconventional marriage ceremony, and as a result, extended our festivities into a few…read moresmall, regional parties with friends and family. To celebrate with local friends, we wanted to have a casual, outdoor party at a local venue with some pizzaz. We crunched the numbers (alcohol, serving supplies, time, etc.), and decided that spending time with our guests was our #1 priority, so enlisting the help of bartenders would make the most sense. There were a number of reasons we were drawn to Public Provisions: local, lady-led team (yay, small businesses!), sample menus were aligned with our taste in beverages, genuine communication (flexibility, and desire to hear what we were looking for), and overall professionalism. Melaney was responsive from day 1, and had contracts, services, etc. already outlined in an easy to understand format. They went above and beyond to make things easy on us for the celebration day (including allowing us to taste/choose some wines) -- we did not regret hiring them, and would gladly do so again!

Melaney and Malia were amazing - so much better than expected, and we had high expectations after doing a lot of due diligence and asking around. They MADE our company gathering a total success. The drinks were perfection, great ingredients, very unique. The setup couldn't have been more perfect, cute drink cart, friendly/fun/knowledgable staff. Reminded me of my experience going to Multnomah Whiskey Library - everyone there is so passionate about their craft and are happy to share what they know - these ladies were the same way. Can't recommend them enough. Top notch.

Not the WaitStaff team, they show up on time and often before, they're ready to go, are pleasant and professional, and do all the scheduled tasks and more. They are the definition of over and above, and they will make you look good. Hire them!

Portland Party People

Michelle and her team at Portland Party People are amazing! When my (now) wife and I were scouring…read morethe internet, looking for help at our wedding, we were shocked at how few companies there are offering general assistance to party-throwers. Most organizations offer help only paired with a catering service, and are extremely limited in what services they will provide. Fortunately Portland Party People were available - jack-and-jills-of-all-trades, and genial, to boot. Michelle was kind, gracious, and a complete joy to work with as we planned our event. When they showed up to the venue, right on time, dressed in black pants and black shirts (they looked great!), we were blown away by how friendly, and willing to help they were - with anything and everything. Michelle and her crew showed up about an hour before our ceremony, and because of all the craziness I ended up walking them around the property with our brief, and admittedly incomplete "To-Do" list. I think Michelle could sense I was in a bit of a crazed state, so after a few "Um's" and "... I think there might be something I'm missing..." she smiled, said "Honey, go get ready for your wedding, we'll take care of it," and sent me on my way. Not only did they take care of all the items on our list (and executed them with speed and professionalism), they went above and beyond by serving our guests wine as they sat at dinner, skillfully excusing tables to get their food when it was ready (seriously, I've seen people do this and it can turn into an all out Hunger Games situation!), and making sure everything was running smoothly by taking initiative in all the right ways. At one point it started to rain (thanks Pacific Northwest summer!) and Michelle's staff, without being asked, grabbed a portable tent from the other side of the property to cover our desserts before I could even blink. This kind of initiative was not only impressive, it saved us from stress and worry on our wedding day. Seriously people, these folks are great! When they left the event, all the dishes were rinsed, stored, bagged, cleaned, etc. Again they went above and beyond and made sure the candles were out, and everything was tidy. As if the professionalism of the services weren't enough, Michelle and her staff are a genuinely good people, and truly a delight to work with. Having a party or event and need some extra hands or a bartender? Call up Portland Party People - you won't regret it. THANK YOU, MICHELLE!

BARTENDERS AND CLIENTS BEWARE!

He hired me to bartend for an event a week ago and promised me $500 for the whole ordeal (travel, time and labor). I have documentation in the form of the ad, emails, and a recorded phone call. Immediately after the event he stopped responding to my texts and calls. It took me two days to get ahold of him and when I did (from a different number since he was ignoring mine) he brought up for the first time to expect payment in seven days. Well today is the seventh day and *surprise surprise* no response or payment in my Venmo. If anyone is considering booking him please know that he did not pay me and it looks like he never will. Monday I am going to file a claim in small claims court to try to recover my money. It's sad that Neil would scam someone like this but when I look at his previous reviews and the lawsuit filed against the company I am not entirely shocked. Karma is real, and Neil, you deserve nothing but shame for how you conduct yourself. He also won't answer me about a mobile bar and a bunch of supplies that are stuck in my garage that I am trying to return to him. I guess he made enough money off my back to buy new ones so he never has to confront me. Oh, and Neil, I hope that you know that money was to pay for my dog's dental surgery out of pocket that I have been trying to save up for. I took my entire Saturday night of my birthday weekend off to try and do this for Henry and make it happen. You never know what you are doing to someone by scamming them. I have been in tears over this.

Our bartender for the evening, Braelynn, was just as amazing--super sweet and professional, and made fantastic drinks that our guests loved. The pricing was very reasonable--$300 for 4 hours of service, and they brought all the mixers and full bar setup. We also added on garnishes for just $50, and they went above and beyond with options like fresh mangoes for margaritas--such a thoughtful and elevated touch. What stood out the most was their attention to detail. They provided us with a clear and considerate list of alcohol and ingredient suggestions, including smart tips on how to avoid overbuying or wasting supplies. It really helped us plan efficiently. They arrived on time and took care of the setup before the service window began, which was great since it didn't eat into the 4-hour bartending time. All in all, this was a 10/10 experience. Reliable, warm, and professional--would definitely hire again!
