Introduction

I am extremely detail oriented,and therefore will ALWAYS go the extra mile to make sure that I exceed your expectations. Just doing a great job is not enough, I try to always give a little more than anyone would expect and it makes me feel good to make people happy. Most people are hiring me to relieve them of something so that they can either enjoy a party, event or just relax and know that everything is being handled. So for me, I LOVE to watch the person I'm working for, as they eventually start to unwind and begin enjoying themselves. It's awesome to know that something you did helped bring joy into someone's life, even if it's just for a moment.

Hired on Thumbtack

I was just recently involved in a wedding where I was responsible for finding a reliable bartender. I was stressed, worried and nervous that I wouldn't find a proper fit...and then I came across Michael. I had a good vibe from the get-go and I was so incredibly pleased with his knock-out performance!!! Michael is amazing, I sincerely cannot say enough nice things about him. Prompt, efficient, humorous, diligent and kind are all easy attributes to describe Michael, but this man goes above and beyond. Michael has an incredible work ethic, he aided in set up/tear down and EVERYTHING in between. He is courteous even if others are not, and I found him to be extremely professional. He has a great way about him and really relates to all kinds of folks which is so wonderful. Michael truly delivered 100% and he made the night memorable. This guy is a work horse, and his goal is to make things run smoothly. If you need someone who is a true professional, here is your man! I would hire him for any and every single upcoming event, you will not be disappointed!!

Michael was an exceptional bartender; even better than his 5-star reviews promised. He was very responsive to early planning emails and provided suggestions on custom cocktails and then a shopping list. The day of our 30-guest party he did a fabulous job of keeping everyone happy and glasses filled -- and afterwards he even helped clean up (when no one was looking). I'm thinking of other parties we can throw just to hire Michael again!
