Polly Martini’s Bartender & Event Services

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!

I hired a bartender and 2 servers for a wedding industry networking event this week. I was very pleased with their services. They are very professional and the guests enjoyed interacting with them. I would highly recommend their services for any event you may have.

My fiancé 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.

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.

I hired Polly Martini and her staff for a work event. I found her via Unilocal 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!

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.

Polly Martini’s Bartending Service is a great option for an event. We had a holiday party for about 50 people with beer and wine service. Polly and her staff were professional, courteous and very helpful. I had every expectation that this would only be bar service, but the barback helped us clear tables and assist with other parts of the party. This was above and beyond the call of duty, and this seems to be reflective of what this company upholds as their high quality of service. I highly recommend them.

Polly and her team have been an integral part of two events for my team, and I recommend them highly, without hesitation. Timely, professional, approachable, and knowledgeable — these are the partners you want for your event. Beverages… these are the details most unfamiliar to me (and yet likely the most important part of any group gathering) and Polly provides right-​on-​target suggestions during the planning process, and right-​on-​target service the day of. I will be back!

I used Polly and her team for a Birthday Party at my home in San Jose that was both indoors and out.
The pre-​party consulting was awesome. Polly designed some signature drinks that added an additional touch that made it feel special. It all went exactly as she planned and her estimated were right on.
Two attractive bartenders arrived about an hour early and made all of juices and mixers fresh. As other portions of the party were still being setup, it was great that they were self sufficient and setup all their prep, custom bar, and stations on their own.
Partygoers commented all night on how professional and friendly they were, and the drinks were awesome.
Polly and team were equally professional when it came to cleanup.
I can’t wait to use them again. It was that extra touch that made the party that much better, and probably drink a bit more than normal. :)

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!

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!

I have been using Polly’s service for about three years, twice each year and every time has been awesome. The bartenders have been punctual and knowledgable, and very professional. Polly is extremely responsive while booking and prepping for the party. She has come up with some unbelievable signature cocktails. I highly recommend her!

I cannot recommend Polly more. Her crew Kysa and Dorian bartended at my 40^th birthday party. They were professional and friendly, and we were able to enjoy the party and hang out with our friends because they took care of everything — drinks, serving food, setup, and final cleaning. Polly was also efficient in suggesting drink options and thinking ahead of my needs. A total pleasure to deal with. Thank you, Polly!!!

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 1^st 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!

My friends recommended Polly Martini’s Limo service to me and I absolutely have no regrets!

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 limo.
The day of the wedding was amazing! We were running late, and when her girls 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 girls 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! The girls 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 girl 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!

I love PME!

I wanted to get a limo for a city tour around San Francisco on the night of my 21^st 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!

Polly Martini is AWESOME!!!
I chose Polly Martini because our friends had used them in the past and I had liked their service and boy did they live up to our expectations.
I had contacted Polly and told them I wanted to plan a birthday Wine Tasting Event. Well, they did not only help me plan it, they were very accommodating to my winery selections and were very willing to work within my budget. Our wine tasting event was awesome and to top it all of we had the coolest driver, FRED!!!
I definitely recommend Polly and will definitely use their services again. :)

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.

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’œuvre, 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.
