Yuliya surpassed my expectations for a bartender service at my reception. The setup she brought was gorgeous and classy. She goes above and beyond - she brought circular ice cubes for our drinks with edible flowers in them. Absolutely loved those in our drinks. Expect compliments from the guests as I did and she's your girl if you want an elegant setup and want piece of mind knowing your guests are being taken care of. I would absolutely hire her again and highly recommend her.

Yuliya is absolutely amazing, and I will definitely be hiring her bartending services for future celebrations. She arrived early to set up, responded promptly, and crafted incredible drinks! When there were no guests at the bar, she would even help tidy up. My guests were so impressed with her drinks and service and asked me to relay her contact info to them. She added an elevated level to my guests’ experience and the celebration itself. Yuliya was such a pleasure to work with, and I highly recommend her!

We couldn’t have asked for a better bartender! From the moment she arrived, she was kind, friendly, professional, and incredibly communicative. She came with a fantastic drink menu that our guests absolutely loved, and every cocktail was made perfectly. What truly made her stand out was that she went far beyond bartending. She jumped in to help with anything that needed attention throughout the party without us ever having to ask. She was thoughtful, proactive, and genuinely cared about making sure everything ran smoothly,more like having a wonderful friend by our side than just a vendor. I was beyond happy with her service, and so were all of our guests. She played a huge part in making our celebration such a success, and I would recommend her without hesitation. We will absolutely be hiring her again!
Yulia truly made the party a lot of fun. She made wonderful and elaborate drinks without using any cocktail mixes. She went up to the guests, offering them drinks and making them feel very welcome. We will definitely use her services again!

Yuliya was absolutely amazing! We hired her for a pretty unique event—our in-person fantasy football draft—and she completely exceeded our expectations. She even came up with signature cocktails specifically for the event, which was such a fun and thoughtful touch.
Beyond making great drinks, Yuliya was incredibly friendly, helpful, professional, and attentive throughout the entire event. She truly went above and beyond to make sure everyone was taken care of and helped make the day even more memorable.
We couldn’t have asked for a better bartender and would absolutely hire Yuliya again. Highly recommend!

FAQs
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to get to know my customer first, then I ask what’s the occasion for celebration and if they have a theme in mind, I ask if they would like me to make them a drink menu and make a list of everything needed for the bar. After I send them the menu and product list, they review it. Then we discuss arrival time, set up and service hours.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I went to National Bartenders School and Staffing of Los Angeles, where I learned about bar equipment, set up, recipes, liquor laws, taught by working bartenders in real world experience.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
Since I was studying in college I always worked in service industry, at restaurants, coffee shops and wedding venues. Then I got into bartending and loved every aspect of it, interaction with guests, creativity, vibe and knowledge of all kinds of different delicious cocktails.
