I hosted a Wedding of aprox 200 people at my home. James was my bartender. He not only brought lots of his own special touch's, he helped me plan the bar menu before hand. My guest loved James. He made lots of good drinks. James helped keep tables cleared when he was not poring drinks (which wasn't often with this large crowd). I would highly recommend. James!!

I hired Essential Bartending Services for a 50th Birthday Party on January 13 with 80+ people attending. Working with James and Heather was fantastic. From the beginning, James was very responsive to my questions and helped me prepare for the party. Heather was our bartender and my guests and I could not have been more pleased. Heather was fun, yet professional, and added quite a bit to the atmosphere of the event. I hired a number of service vendors for the party and they were quite simply the best. I will certainly use them again. Highly recommended.

Details: 51 - 75 guests • Party host • Birthday party • Low key / casual • Private residence • Beer • Liquor / mixed drinks • Wine • Host will supply the drinks • Bartender will need to bring the bar • Tip jars not allowed

After going trough the Thumbtack experience and hiring Essential Bartending Services I can report that the experience was outstanding. I was in a bind to find a service to bartend and help with food for my Mother's Celebration of Life. We were expecting over 200 guests. James and his staff arrived ahead of time and took over the tasks at hand. They walked through our home to access the situation, set up 2 bars. One for hard alcohol and the other a wine bar. At some point in the middle of the evening I noticed that each bar tender was taking little moments to tend to messy tables and asking our guests if they could get them something. They were not intrusive but very effective and handled everyone with respect. The food person in their staff was extremely knowledgeable. He took charge immediately of our food tables, chaffing dish set ups, ovens etc. He kept everything hot and replenished desserts and other food so our food tables were always full. Before the celebration started they had complete control. My family was able to greet our guest and show our appreciation through out the night. They closed down in a timely manner and gave an inventory of what remained in the bars. I recommend James and his staff. They were extremely professional.

James was amazing to work with. I needed a bartender very last minute for our wedding and within a week James was able to be booked for our wedding. He was great with our guests and made sure everyone was able to get a drink they wanted. His drink list was spot on with what to get. Thank you again James for making this happen!

Details: 76 - 100 guests • Bride or groom • Wedding reception • Upbeat / lively • Private residence • Beer • Liquor / mixed drinks • Wine • Non-alcoholic beverages • Host will supply the drinks • Venue will already have a bar • Tip jars allowed • Setup / cleanup
