Melissa was great to work with! She is super friendly and professional. She was also super helpful when it came to trying to make the drink menu & was willing to set some time aside to have a 1:1 consultation to figure out what drinks I wanted and what I would need. She helped me immensely with the creating a shopping list of what I needed. Then when it came to her bartending service, she and her partner brought great party energy & vibes, it made the experience so much better. My guests LOVED their drinks, and had great interactions when ordering drinks. Thank you so much for making my event much more fun! Will definitely book them for my next event. Also, highly recommended booking Melissa and her partner- both were awesome & were fast at making drinks so there was never a line!! Amazing!

I asked Melissa if she could come and do a mixology class for me and a group of moms I hosted for moms night out. Melissa was attentive in answering all my questions before hand, walked me through different options for speciality cocktails and made sure I had a comprehensive within my budget grocery list. She came on time and so friendly! My guest loved her! She ended up being a bartender for the evening and we didn’t even get to the class not because of anything Melissa did but my guest were so chatty and loved hanging by the bar talking to her while she whipped up drinks the night just continued to flow beautifully. I WILL hire her again! She was amazing!

Melissa couldn’t have been better! She took the time to meet with me, helped me make a shopping list, and was so helpful and professional from A to Z. Her drinks were great and all the guests were so happy with her. So glad I found a bartender for all my future events.

Where do I begin! Melissa was everything one can ask for in a bartender. I was definitely all over the place the day of my moms 40th birthday and If it was one thing I wanted , it was the bar experience to be amazing for guests. Boy did Melissa make that happen. Everyone loved her ( & her amazing drinks. ) if you want someone friendly , professional & amazing at what they do, look no further!
