I love Leah's expertise in bartending. She was amazing and wonderful to work with from start to finish. She went over every detail with me to make sure everything would go smoothly and have enough drinks for the guests!! Leah went above and beyond what I had expected from a bartender. Thank you Leah for being part of our wedding!!

If I could give Leah 20 stars, I would. She catered my wedding in Eagle Rock this past weekend. My husband and I served homemade wine and beer. Leah came over about a month ahead to try our offerings so she could give recommendations to our guests and brought her setup (table, linen choices) as well. We needed extra hands so she had a network of other professionals for us to choose from.
Since Day 1, she has been pleasant with a genuinely huge smile on her face. I regularly asked her questions via text and she was so friendly that I will be keeping her info at hand for future events. At the wedding, she was the consummate professional. She always checked in on me and my husband and made sure we always had a drink with us and water. She would take a moment to make sure that I was doing okay. It is rare to find someone who is not only a professional but also a really good person.
She brought a colleague, Kristi, who was also an amazing and friendly worker. Both ladies did table service with some of our wines.
I am so happy that the wedding went smoothly and I did not have a single complaint about alcohol and the service. Leah and Kristi were also at hand for cleanup and took care of their station. Post wedding, Leah followed up with with her congratulations. I highly recommend her and Kristi!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
$25-30 per hour for home parties is our standard. Party planning and managing is more depending on the scope of the party.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I am happy to discuss the party on the phone with a client. I am willing to shop and prep at home for the reduced rate of $25 per hour and meet with the client and see the venue if it is a large event for the same rate.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have worked in the food and beverage industry bartending and serving since my early 20's--my entire adult life. I was assistant catering manager at the Beverly Hills Country Club for 3 years and have learned a lot from all the great chef's I have assisted. At the catering staffing companies I have worked for many years I did a lot of captain and lead work where I did on the spot training and evaluating of staff and
have guest lectured at the Art Institute of CA on Catering. In terms of formal education, I have a master's degree in theater and film, history and theory, am a trained playwright and yoga instructor which keeps me very calm under pressure. I make lists of all the great wines I serve and wonderful vendors I work with. I read Gourmet and other food and beverage magazines.
