What’s not to love about Mel and her bartending service. From the beginning she was responsive, communicated quickly and detailed. 
She delivered in every way , her service was top notch, her drinks were beautifully decorated. We had a Prince theme and she made a drink special with Prince songs menu. It was so cute and made it so personal for us.  Purple Rain was a hit. She even brought a beautiful purple orchid for her bar area. That looked gorgeous. Mel has such grace and a lovely manner while handling our guest quickly and efficiently.  Everyone loved her .  She even walked the room with drinks shots for people to have. We even had her stay an extra hour. Our party was a hit and a lot was due to Mel!! Can’t speak more highly of her. Do yourself a favor and book with her she will be the highlight to your party! Thanks for making my husband’s 60th so special! 
In his words it was “Epic”. So Thankful!

I hired Mel to bartend my child’s first birthday. She was perfect!!! She provided me with an exact list of what was needed and always communicated with me well throughout the days. On the day of party, not only did she arrive on time, but she came prepare. She made amazing drinks throughout the day. She’s a vibe, the whole day was a vibe, and I would/will hire her going forward for any future events. She’s so kind, and gracious. Thanks again Mel for giving us such a great experience.
