Johnny is the MAN!!! Honestly blown away and he was so fun to have bartending my surprise engagement party – the drinks were absolutely on point, and he did a superb job getting everything set up in time for the surprise arrival for my fiancee. Everyone loved hanging out with him as well, I had multiple people text me the next day saying how much they loved our bartender – kind, skilled and just a great vibe overall. We'll probably be hiring him for our wedding as well – cannot recommend enough!

Johnny recently bartended for my birthday party of about 25 people and made the whole experience incredibly seamless. He was super responsive and was able to offer me different quotes based on my needs. He was a pleasure to work with the entire time and his cocktails were amazing. The mixers, set-up, menu details, garnishes, etc - everything was 10/10. We will absolutely book him again.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Be sure to check out my quick two min explainer video that covers everything you might want to know!
Just follow the link to my website above. Thanks!
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to hop on the phone to discuss any details and answer any questions straight away and have a nice introduction!
• Discuss what will be served, what supplies are needed (ice, cups, bar etc)
• Take that information and create a budget sheet with everything itemized out.
• One that is confirmed, I will offer to do the ordering if the client needs.
Biggest key? Stay in very great communication throughout the entire process so we make sure everthing goes exactly to plan!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been bartending at some of the most upscale cocktail bars that New York has to offer - before moving to LA of course! I was lucky enough to be a part of some of the best bar and management teams executing regular service and private events with the utmost care and precision. Always ensuring the guests had a spectacular time.
