I am a wedding coordinator and I have worked with CCPH multiple times. Catering is the backbone of service to all events and Brigitte and her team really shine when it comes to hardworking, attention to detail, friendly attitudes and reliable work. Their packages are flexible to meet your event needs and you won't regret having them. The are an extremely valuable component to your dream team for the big day! Can't wait to work with them again. -

As a wedding planner, I was very impressed by Central Coast Party Helpers Bud Tending Service. Mandisa was very knowledgeable of the items and service provided. She was helpful to the guests at the wedding when interested in joining in on the edibles or smoking of cannabis. Thanks for your hard work and efficiency to keep a safe and fun environment during the wedding.Central Coast Party Helpers's reply:
Thank you Tracey, It's always a pleasure working with you. We are looking forward to another amazing 2019 and beyond:) -
User1754293 Sent on 08/08/2014We used Central Coast Party Helpers for my sister's bachelorette party and I am so thankful we did! We wanted a helper to help mix and serve drinks and assist the private chef. I was a little worried we wouldn't have enough for her to do and at one point I thought it might be more work to have to tell her to do this and do that. I was wrong! As soon as our party helper arrived she was ready to go! She went above and beyond every second she was there. She thought to do things I never would have (like refresh the salsa). Our party helper made the evening so carefree for all attendees and we honestly felt so spoiled having her there. Any time I would try to do some kind of work for the party, she would instantly take over and would not let me lift a finger. Our helper worked literally nonstop up until the minute she left.
I would recommend Central Coast Party Helpers for anyone for any party/event, dinner, anything! I will definitely use them again next chance I get! Having a Central Coast Party Helper is a small thing you can do to take your party to the next level with absolutely no effort!! -

I recently got married on 10/10/20 and I decided to change my wedding from 100 guests to 8 guests since both my father and father in law were at higher risk for COVID. Brigitte was able to accommodate the change in guests and recommended a private chef. Our plan was to have the ceremony and cocktail hour at the venue and then have a private chef come to my mother in laws house after. Here are some pros and cons to Brigitte’s company.
Pros: Chef Michael was absolutely amazing! He is from Italy and cooked the best Italian food for my family! He was very polite and helped me pick a great menu. It was such a treat to have a chef cook for us and to not have to worry. We all loved him! It was nice to have waitstaff and a bartender (even for just 8 guests) so that we did not have to worry and could just enjoy ourselves. Brigitte was very responsive whenever I had questions and her and her staff were very friendly and were dog lovers which we really appreciated.
Cons: We were very concerned about COVID and before the wedding I specifically asked Brigitte and her team could make sure to wear their mask properly (covering their nose and mouth) for the entire event ( 5 hours). I am disappointed to say that there were times that masks were off completely and we had to ask several times for her and her staff to put their masks on. Brigitte’s mask was loose and baggy and was practically falling off of her face, exposing her nose and part of her mouth. I also saw the other waitstaff with the mask only covering her mouth. It was clear that wearing masks was not important to Central Coast Party helpers and they had no consideration our health concerns.
For the drinks, since we only had 8 guests (10 including my fiancé and I) I had provided the bartender with a recipe for an original Mai tai and also an espresso martini. We got engaged in Hawaii and our family loves Mai Tai’s so we were very excited to have this as a drink. My dad watched the bartender and she did not use the recipe I provided. She poured just white rum and pineapple juice and ignored the other 4 ingredients. She had plenty of time to make a nice cocktail since we had very few guests and I am very disappointed that she did not take the time to do that. I gave her the benefit of the doubt at the end of the night and asked if she had received the recipe I sent and she said yes and I mentioned how the Mai Tai would taste much better if she had use all the ingredients and she lied to me and said she thought she made it correctly. Looking at the left-over liquor the white rum is completely gone but we have a ton of dark rum, orgeat, orange curacao, and lime juice. I also want to mention that my dad hand squeezed all of the lime juice prior to the event and apparently wasted his time doing this since she didn’t even touch it.
Brigitte also seemed a bit unorganized. She had told me that she needed to see the venue and wanted to see my mother in laws backyard so that she could plan and later on she snuck a $50 site check/consultation fee on the invoice. When I asked her about it she told me she was giving me a discount and that it was mandatory anyways. If it was mandatory then it should have been included in the original invoice and she should have made it known to me. This made me feel like she was being sneaky and made me not trust her going forward. Even with the consultation/site check, when we arrived at the house, the table had been set up in the wrong location and the waitstaff gave us sass for having to move everything outside and said "no one told me anything".
Conclusion: If you are not concerned about COVID and are going to have simple drinks on your menu then you will probably be fine hiring Central Coast Party Helpers. I will not be hiring her again for any future events. I would 100% recommend Chef Michael if you are able to hire him separately for your event. I really hate to leave a review like this but I am hoping this could be used as constructive criticism for Brigitte and her team and will save a bride some stress in the future.
