Ryan got back to me within 30 minutes of my contacting him and I had a contract an hour later. The server and bartender were very friendly and professional. Several guests asked me who I used and may be reaching out themselves in the future.

I was pleased, happy and satisfied with service I received from Ryan M. and hs team from bartender by the hour. Ryan from the start displayed compassion and care for my needs. He was amazing very likable person. Than there was Josh, He did a great job at my event. I highly recommend bartender by the hour. You dont need no one else. They did not disappoint. They went above and beyond I can't wait to use them again!

We had a blast with our bartender Doug and couldn't have asked for a better night! By the hour bartending was easy to book, super, affordable, and just made the whole process simple. Will definitely be using them again in the future.

Pretty incredible pricing for the level of expertise they offer. Bartender showed up at the stated time. He made incredible and gorgeous drinks. Then he cleaned up everything perfectly and took off as the night finished. I mean for the price you seriously cant get better. 10/10 Thank you BTH.
