/ Open Doors of Asheville

Hi Kai and Crew, I just wanted to take a moment to thank you so much for your generosity and support for the OpenDoors Art Affair. We raised an awesome amount at this years event!! This was a milestone we’ve been hoping to reach for quite some time and it was amazing to do it with Art Affair 2018! This dream came to fruition in no small part due to our amazing partners and sponsors and please realize that we could never have reached this goal without the generous support you provide with your amazing staff and attention to detail. There were so many compliments for all those involved with hospitality! We are truly so grateful for Velene’s professionalism and Captain-ship (is that even a word :-). ). Again, thank you so very much. We are beyond grateful for your support. Andrea L. - Open Doors of Asheville

Jen B. of the Craft Maltsters Guild, 2017

All of the bartenders were absolutely fantastic - personable and fun as well as willing to help out any way they could. Ruth was a bartender on both days and she was invaluable! She exhibited great leadership and was incredibly helpful. All of the bartenders did an excellent job making the event run smoothly. Blue Ridge Event Staffing was extremely helpful in answering questions as well as providing all the required information to our venue in a timely and professional manner. They were responsive and I can't say enough things about how incredible their bartenders were! They were all friendly, engaging, and helpful. The bartenders were ready to jump in and help with all aspects of the bar service and took initiative to solve problems on their own.

I used you guys for my wedding and am so happy with how smoothly everything went! Everyone from back office to event staff was patient, helpful, and thorough from the planning stages through post event breakdown. The staff was so nice and professional during our event. I could tell they truly wanted to make it great. I will definitely recommend your services. Thank you so much!

Erwin G. - Private Party Host

Tara came early and set right in to work. She quickly learned the party plans while she was setting up the buffet. She was extremely helpful with suggestions, she took initiative, kept everything going smoothly, and even packed up our borrowed plates afterwards. Her cheerful attitude and professionalism made it pleasant for us.

Laura H. - Bride

Carie was very helpful with getting the staff booked for our event and even contacted me a few days before the event to be sure I had all the information I needed. This was helpful because those last few days were a little chaotic and she brought up information I was not even thinking to ask about.

Annelise S.

Kai was wonderful; he was attentive, answered questions fully, and seemed to care deeply.

Great job as usual. We love working with you for our spring and fall party every year.

Ellie S. - Private Party Host

I couldn't have been more happy with May! She arrived on time, was super sweet and helped us finish up with decorating and set up. When the event started she ensured everything was cleared, food was replenished and trash was picked up. She put food away at the end, cleaned dishes and I'm pretty sure she swept and swiffered my kitchen which was so above and beyond my expectations! She was so incredibly helpful and kind. My guests complimented her, she complimented them! Never again will I throw a party in my home without hiring a Blue Ridge Event staffing helper. It was worth every penny and more! When one of my friends asked how I could be so calm and relaxed during such a big party (40 adults/40 kids estimated guest total!) and I told her "I hired May from Blue Ridge Event Staffing". She replied "Whoa, everyone needs a May!" Thank you soooo much!

Jose S. - Berkshire Hathaway Travel

Blue Ridge Event Staffing runs a top notch business. They provided bar-tending services at our company Summer Picnic, and left a overwhelmingly positive response because of their professionalism. Thank you! I will highly recommend you to friends and coworkers, and look forward to booking you for our next event! Kai showed up to set up and break down. I really appreciate his efforts with our last minute event. He made a world of difference for me, and has gained a loyal customer in me. Keep up the great work! I will happily refer you to my coworkers, friends, and other professionals in our field.

Family Enterprise Research Conference 2017

The event was exactly like I thought. BRES did everything and I just showed up and managed the people and agenda. Having Verona was a huge plus since she was working the same event with me at the Renaissance Hotel. BRES delivered on their promise of a worry-free event for me as host of an international conference. They picked up the food, served it, bartended, and cleaned up. Amazing, friendly and very professional.

Susan B. - Private Party Host

We are thoroughly satisfied with Blue Ridge Event Staffing. Communication with the office staff was easy and efficient. They returned phone calls almost immediately & courteously answered questions. Lori, our wait-person was outstanding. We will always request her.

Bev A. - Mother of the Bride

This was a fantastic experience from beginning to end. Communication with Kai was easy and very responsive and Susan did a wonderful job taking care of the bride and groom and wedding guests. Have already recommended to friends and neighbors.

Susan B. - Mother of the Groom

Susan was phenomenal in every way. She even used her phone to set up song for first dance as married couple. She was so kind to and accommodating to everyone. Thank you for sending an attendant that was so wonderful. Over and beyond!!

Samantha R. - Wedding Planner

Your captain was phenomenal! Our drop off catering was less than par and there were problems that arose that she handled like a Champ. Along with being a wedding planner I am smash events foh and staff manager and she is what we look for in a star employee who could handle anything we threw her way. Everyone else on your staff was wonderful as well. Everyone was extremely polite to all of the guests and quick and efficient at their work. Thank you so much

Sage R. - Groom

They were so AWESOME! Seriously, I really didn’t have expectations other than people to just show up and serve and clean up but they were incredibly helpful, thoughtful and sociable. They thought of myself and my new wife throughout the event, taking care of us while being great and fun with all our guests too! They are keepers!! Kai is awesome and did an incredible job. He was really helpful with all my questions and concerns. Blue Ridge Event staffing is the only way I will ever go again if I have another event. They were incredibly helpful, responsive and friendly while planning our event. The service was incredible during the event and they all went above and beyond to provide an awesome experience for us!

Dearborn S. - Bride

Blue Ridge Event Staffing is the absolute best!! We were absolutely blown away by the quality of service they provided for our wedding of 70 guests. We hired a bartender and servers for our wedding, and they both went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. Not only did they rock it out behind the bar and providing table side service, they bent over backwards helping set-up the reception area; made sure the decor was perfect; provided our guests with everything they could possibly need; checked with us to make sure we had everything we needed throughout the night; cut and served the wedding cake; and helped break-down and clean everything up. We seriously cannot say enough good things about Kai and his crew. Thank you so much for making our wedding day perfect!!

Alex H. - Bride

Blue Ridge Event Staffing provided AWESOME bartenders for my wedding! Not only were they polite, helpful and fun to be around, they were great about seeking me out and making sure I always had a drink. By the end of the night, they were a part of the party! Also, ahead of time, they could not have been more helpful in advising me and working out the details. Would book them again in a heartbeat and recommend them to everyone!

Kristen H. - Catering Coordinator at Hubba Hubba Smokehouse

A client of ours, who was determined to have our food at his wedding reception despite the fact that we could not transport the distance/time needed to the venue he and his bride had selected, first introduced us to Blue Ridge Event Staffing. They arrived when promised to pick up our precious cargo and presented it to our client with our philosophy of service. We have since called on Kai and Carie, when we have had to complete our serving ratios (25 guests to 1 server) at other caterings. The servers/bartenders arrive as professionals ready to work no matter what the circumstances (weather, last minute request for additional services, etc). Our philosophy of service is our backbone, so our expectations are high and BRES delivers!!! You can't go wrong. One less thing to worry about...

Lauren W. - Special Events Manager, Asheville Humane Society

As an event planner, I exclusively work with Blue Ridge Event Staffing for all of my bartending and service staff needs. Whether it is a small reception of a couple dozen people or a major fundraiser for 400, Blue Ridge Event Staffing is top notch every step of the way.

Amy L. - Bride

I hired Blue Ridge Event Staffing for my wedding at the Arboretum and they were amazing. The bartenders were great with my guests and the serving staff was extremely professional and took care of everything. Carie was our day-of coordinator and everything was flawless. I was able just to relax and enjoy our special day. I highly recommend Blue Ridge Event Staffing for any event.

Lisa K. - Resource Development Manager, Mountain Housing Opportunities

“Just wanted to drop you a note and let you know what a great crew you sent us on Thursday! They were so personable and helpful. We will most certainly use you folks again if we need bartender services!

Sara M-Mother of Bride

After 18 months of planning our daughters wedding, the bartenders fell though. We contacted Kai and Blue Ridge Event Staffing and he happily listened to my rant and calmed my nerves and told me he would take care of everything...and HE DID!!! If I had known about Blue Ridge Event Staffing I would have used more of their staff for other wedding jobs. We highly recommend Blue Ridge!!!

Allison T. - Owner WNC Weddings & Events

We love working with professionals, and Blue Ridge Event Staffing provides wonderful support staff. We highly recommend them to our clients.

Leilani K. - Bride

We used Blue Ridge Event Staffing for two bartenders for our wedding in Hot Springs, NC. They were absolutely amazing and exceeded our expectations! Thank you so much for everything and doing such a great job on our special day!!!

Maria S. - Bride

Sarah was a gem! Personable, very helpful, knowledgeable. Summer, Elena and Colleen were also gems! They were wonderful, helpful, friendly. Fantastic staff. Overall a wonderful experience!

Veronica L. - Bride

The office staff at BRES was awesome. They were very on top of everything and really helped me where I would not have even thought about certain aspects of my event! Blue Ridge Event Staffing really helped make our wedding day seamless! The staff and office were a pleasure to work with, full of knowledge and very professional.

Ginny N. - Mother of the Groom

We have had the pleasure of working with Summer as a captain here at AMT for two events now. We absolutely love working with her, she does an amazing job at managing the staff and going above and beyond for each client. We hope to work with her and the rest of your staff soon!

Renee B. - Private Party Host

When our event was over I told my husband, "Now that was Ritz Carlton service!" Blue Ridge Event Staffing exceeded my expectations from beginning to end.

Susan Fisher - Elect Susan Fisher

The captain and staff were particularly helpful and easy to be with. Very good at taking initiative and getting it done. As an owner of a small catering business, I find myself needing staff often for events. I can always count on Blue Ridge Event Staffing. Everyone is prompt, courteous, professional, and gets the job done. No drama. Will continue to use over and over again.

Alison J - Mother of the Bride

I cannot say enough about the professional conduct of Kai and his staff. This was a destination wedding so the stress of planning everything, picking up the food, setting up was all relieved by Blue Ridge. Wonderful crew! Highly recommend them!

Tracy E. - Bride

Blue Ridge Event Staffing was extremely professional and friendly throughout our entire planning process! We really appreciated everyones help, friendliness and respectful attitude towards our private residence and our attendees. I am so happy we chose BRES as our vendor. You guys really helped make the night special. Thank you so very much. Everyone was very nice.

-Erin K. , Catering Manager, Everyday Gourmet

Thank you for everything yesterday! Your staff was amazing to work with! I really enjoyed everyone and really appreciated how much they cared and how well they connected with each other. That cohesion is so important for success and they really have that and they made the night a success!!! Your captains were also amazing!

- Mosaix Group

We were so pleased with the positive attitude and expert service your staff provided. We are looking forward to working with you in the future! Communication was great and payment was so easy! Thank you for working with us, especially since this was such a last-minute booking!

Kaye Z. - Private Party Host

Blue Ridge Event Staffing made our party an exceptional experience. These women are excellent representatives for your company! They could not have been more helpful and more aware of what needed to be done. Great attitude and professionalism; would absolutely work with them again! I have now used blue ridge event staffing for three different parties. My smallest event was 17 people and my largest was 80. Without fail they have been phenomenal! I had back-to-back events this weekend and the company was kind enough to use the same staff on both nights which helped greatly with set-up explanation and process. Bartender was cheerful and waiters were unbelievably helpful. Definitely took my stress level is way down.

The Gathering Co.

We had to change last minute staffing needs due to Covid-19 and our caterer not being able to provide staffing and he jumped right on helping us. The whole staff served the wedding guest and venue safely and with great attitudes. Would recommend!

Samantha S. - Bride

Booking with Blue Ridge Event Staffing was the best experience! All the guests for the event, including myself, were all from out of town which typically makes it harder to plan and find services but not this time. They were quick to respond to all questions and helpful in getting me set up with the exact services I needed. For the event we were assigned JR as our bartender and he continued you excellent service from the moment he arrived. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and enjoyable to have at our event! We would definitely recommend JR for anyone looking for a bartender for their event! If ever booking another event in the area we will be using Blue Ridge Event Staffing and JR again!

Susan H. - Mother of the Groom

I would highly recommend Blue Ridge Event Staffing for your next event. The communication is excellent and they carried out all aspects of the contract with a high degree of professionalism.
