What Our Customers Are Saying
I have used many event staffing services throughout my career and Five Star beats the competition in all areas. Their teams are on time, well trained, well groomed, and always professional. I started using their services more than 5 years ago and have had no concerns or issues. There is no need to look anywhere other than Five Star when planning your next event!

Our company has been using Five Star for 10 years. In all that time we have never contacted another staffing company. Why? Because Five Star has never let us down. Five Star has accommodated every request with top notch staff who are on-time, knowledgeable and ready to work. I cannot personally say that Five Star are better than other staffing companies - because I have never used anyone else. However, some of our event managers who have worked with many different companies tell me that they prefer Five Star Staff overall - as quoted - 'because they know what they are doing.

I have worked with David and used his staff for our end of year celebration for many years. I know I can count on the staff of Five Star to be professional and provide the utmost service every time. They are consistently excellent. Top Notch! I highly recommend David and his staffing team. It takes a great leader to develop a consistently great team. David is that leader.

The team members at Five Star are very professional, reliable, competent, and excellent trouble-shooters. I contracted with David's company for 6-7 events at Penn's Landing including multiple years of their annual fundraising event. They are especially skilled to handle "Taste of" events, where you may not be hiring a caterer but you need staff who understand how to service chefs and restaurants and serving hundreds of people including event setup, replenishing supplies, busing and organizing glassware and renting items and spotting issues and solving them without running to the event organizer every time. The way Five Star organizes their staff on site with leaders and managers makes for a really flawless experience. Five Star must have a great training program as it shows it the way their staff works together. David is very competent, personable, and responsive, even over holiday weekends. He has great people working for him and that's not easy to accomplish. He has definitely found a great niche in hospitality service. I highly recommend David and his company.

Five Star catered my wedding this past weekend and not only were they prompt, but also friendly and professional. As a bride, I was relaxed to see how the staff engaged with my guests and
handled the volume of people effortlessly. I highly recommend and will use again in the future.

I have been a Chef and caterer for close to 30 years and I do off-site events usually with my own staff.
Circumstances for a recent Wedding reception allowed that I needed to use a staffing agency, I checked a few and ended up with Five Star. Apprehensive and a little nervous not knowing what I would get , I was completely put at ease from the start. I needed 11 staff , Everyone was on time, pleasant, personable, and Professional!!! I would hire everyone of them again, The interaction with the guests, my staff, and myself was absolutely wonderful!!!
Thanks a bunch and I would use them again and again!!

We are so incredibly grateful for the wonderful staff from Five Star Staffing. They were professional, courteous, well-dressed, kind and supportive! We even had to ask Jim to climb under one of the tables to turn the lights on so no one from school would get dirty right before the event started.
We love working with your staff because we know we won't have anything to worry about. Thank you for this amazing support!

My husband and I got married last week and instead of having a traditional caterer (with staffing) we hired a chef and a team of bartenders and staff from Five Star. We were nervous that it may be tough for the staff to work with the Chef, since they'd obviously never met before, but the service was beyond our highest expectations. The bartenders and staff were timely, professional, polite, kind and exceptional with serving, running, taking direction from our day-of coordinator, bartending.. We couldn't have been happier with Five Star! I highly recommend!
