Rafa bartended for a bachelorette party with a group of 14! He was so easy to work with from the planning to the event. Rafa was quick to respond to my questions on the app and was very punctual to the bachelorette. He provided the absolute best service, which included creating a customized event drink menu, making DELICIOUS drinks, and even offering to make runs to the store if we ran out of supplies. He was extremely professional while adding a ton of fun to the party. I would 100% hire him again and highly recommend his bartending service!

We hired Rafa for a retirement party and it was an amazing experience! His bar setup was very elegant, and he gave us an accurate list of ingredients to buy. He was professional, punctual and very good at conversing the guests! His drinks were amazing, especially his sunrise and mojito! He also made a wide variety of non-alcoholic beverages, which were a hit as well! Highly recommend hiring him for any event you have! He came an hour early, set up quietly and cleaned up after, and we were at ease knowing our guests were in good hands! I've attached some pictures of his drinks and setup! We know who we're hiring for our next event! 5 stars!

Rafa led a mixology class for a bachelorette party. He helped brainstorm three drinks and taught us how to make them and then everyone was able to make their own drink. Everyone had so much fun! He then stayed after and was creative in making more drinks. All in all, definitely recommend! It was a fantastic experience!

Rafa took care of us at a party for 100 guests and he did great. His set-up was perfect for our event, he did a great job keeping up and being prepared for what the preferred drinks of the evening were. Rafa was very flexible on times and stayed until the job was done. I would definitely use and recommend him!

First time i’ve hired a bartender for a party and Rafa really made the event. He was party of the party, kept the drinks flowing, and was professional, funny, and kind. I will definitely ask him back to all my events

Providing exceptional service is what I do without a doubt.

Also I can help you come up with a drink menu based on your preference.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
By asking specific questions I bring to light what my client's needs are, that way I can make sure we are the right company to fulfill their needs.

With over 5 years of bartending experience at private events I also have Certificate of Completion for Title 4 Liquor Law Traning for On and Off site sell.
