Gigi was extremely helpful as we planned our wedding with 70 guests. She foresaw a lot of details that we would need to figure out in the planning process to make sure our day would go as smoothly as possible. She also was accommodating in changes that we made to our plans along the way. We had food delivered from a restaurant to save money, and Extra Hands provided people to set up dinner tables, decorations, and the set up for the buffet, as well as the teardown and cleanup. Extra Hands also provided a bartender who did an amazing job! We provided our own alcohol – beer, wine, and ingredients for three signature cocktails. The Extra Hands bartender Tina did extremely well with our vague instructions for the cocktails (we provided a lot of ingredients without specific ratios, and she nailed the ratio better than we would have). Everyone kept complimenting one of the cocktails she made. It was hands-off for us as the bride and groom. Highly recommended!

We were very happy with Extra Hands For Your Events and the owner Gigi’s work at our July 2021 wedding in Providence, RI! We hired Extra Hands to provide servers last minute for our event; the wedding was postponed for a year due to the pandemic and a previously-engaged vendor had abandoned us. In our scramble to find a company to replace the old vendor, we were incredibly lucky to have found Extra Hands. In the weeks leading up to the event, Gigi was very communicative and helpful in figuring out logistics, and she was always quick to get back to us regarding questions that we had. Gigi’s staff was professional and courteous, and did a wonderful job of making the event run smoothly. We would recommend Extra Hands to anybody looking for waitstaff!

Highly recommend!! For our backyard wedding in June we needed to hire bartenders and serving staff, and found Extra Hands For Your Events after having a bad experience with another company who we cut ties with 2 months before the day. I contacted Gigi and she responded immediately, even making herself available to talk on the phone that afternoon. She was so incredibly sweet and helpful (as all the other reviews can attest to), and extremely knowledgable as well - we weren’t using a caterer, and she gave us really good tips on how the flow of dinner should work and what we would need to make it easier, as well as the amount of alcohol and glassware we would need to buy/rent. Gigi runs a great business, and when there was a discrepancy on the contract she honored the lower price she had quoted us in the beginning (very different than the first company we worked with), and was very upfront about what everything would cost. When we needed extra staff to help grill, she worked it out so that we could cut down on the number of total staff by having them rotate through positions, and in the end, what she charged us was much less than what she had quoted as an estimate. We really appreciated that, considering we had already lost money on the first company! Finally, Gigi’s staff were amazing! They were surer friendly and on top of things- I was so impressed that they managed to make everything run smoothly for a 100 person backyard wedding with no caterer- and they cleaned up SO well after. I highly recommend Extra Hands For Your Events and if we have another event in the future, will absolutely use them again.
