We hired S.C.E.P for my grandpa's 80th, and BABY... they turned this family party into a whole event. The drinks were top-tier, the vibe was immaculate, and the energy never dipped. Our bartender kept everyone laughing, hydrated, and a little too confident on the dance floor; exactly how a good party should be!!!
We'll 100% be booking them again. They made the night unforgettable and honestly set the bar way too high for future parties!

Elena was amazing! My first time hiring a bartender and would definitely book her again. She is very personable, always had a smile. SoCal Events provided a list of ingredients for specific drinks we wanted to have included in our drink menu. Professional and responsive while I was inquiring about availability for my event. I also reached out with short notice, same day of my event.

Marry was absolutely amazing. The bar looked amazing and both bartenders were professional and fun! We kept them on for another hour and the value of what they brought to the table was worth every penny.

Our bartender Omar did a fantastic job! I had a disco cowgirl theme party for my 30th and he was enthusiastic to wear a cowboy hat and bolo tie to be on theme! Definitely recommend hiring SoCal Events, such a great price and great service. They made my event so much more elegant and memorable!
Thank you!!!!
