Working with Stephanie at Sunset Bartending was wonderful! We contacted her for our December wedding and were able to book her immediately. We let her know the flavors & "vibe" of the wedding and she created a custom drink menu for us, also printing one and framing one for our guests! We had multiple guests ask us later — "Where'd you find that bartender?!" I highly recommend working with Stephanie & Sunset Bartending. Her drinks are unique, tasty, and catered to your needs. Thank you Stephanie for making our wedding day extra special!

I have done many parties and hired a lot of bartenders and I can easily say no one could be compared to Stephanie. She was so professional, helped me find everything I needed on time and helped me save money on ingredients. Not only did my drinks look pretty 🤩 but they tasted amazing ! All my guests were happy.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I would be happy to negotiate pricing, tailored to your specific needs and type of event. Included in my pricing, I can offer help in creating a unique drink menu that your guests will love. I am also free to address any questions or concerns regarding bar/ingredient essentials, to ensure that we will have everything we need for a smooth event. :)
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
It is always nice to have a brief chat with the customer initially (upon booking), so that I can get an idea of the event style, types of drinks that will be served, expected number of guests, etc. This also helps me better prepare for the event and allows for any concerns or questions to be address, to ensure the customer's comfort. I also like to touch base with the customer at least once in the few days leading up to the event, to assure them that everything is still on track.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Right before I began bartending, 9+ years ago, I participated in a 2 week bartending training course in which I learned over 100 drink recipes. I got my first bartending job immediately after that, at a local's pub in Portland, OR, where I worked for 5 years throughout college. During that time I also bartended in popular nightclubs in downtown Portland. Since then I have continued to work private events, parties, and weddings throughout Southern CA and OR.
