I can't imagine a better bartending and cocktail waitress service. James and Heather were great and worked as part of my team to assure my wife's surprise birthday party went off without a hitch at our home. The 40 or so guests were very complimentary of the service recieved and said they will be using Essential in the future. I'm sure we will too at our next party. James and Heather are very pleasant people, fit in well with our guests, and went beyond our expectations of them.

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

James was a bartender at our party last weekend. He did an outstanding job. He was reasonably priced, listened to our needs, arrived early to set up, and stayed later than we initially asked without hesitation. He was polite, well-dressed, professional, and respectful. He made fantastic drinks and was very attentive to all of our guests. After the party people commented that James was a great bartender and they were pleased with the service that he had provided at our party. We will definitely be calling him again soon.

James was an outstanding bartender! It was our son's first birthday party which we hosted at a family member’s home; the bar was a fully equipped built-in bar which offered dry seating as well as a swim up option from the pool. James scheduled time to discuss the party and our needs in advance as well as offered to provide a shopping list as we were supplying all of the alcohol. He did provide such list and was available for subsequent questions. The day of, he showed up an hour early to set up; however, as there was not too much to do he went above and beyond to help us with other party details. Originally, we had hired him for 3 hours but he was so great that we ended up having him stay an extra hour. He was very creative and his drinks were spot on! Our 90+ guests thought he was very friendly and did an amazing job! So good that we have kept his cards/contact info for future parties; not to mention, the # of guests who also requested his card! At the end of the party he even provided a breakdown of our inventory, not something we asked for but again that was his level of professionalism and going above and beyond! We will definitely be hiring James again! I hope this review is helpful to anyone looking for a bartender no matter your venue, if so, you should consider hiring James…money more than well spent! James, we can’t wait to host another party!
