Introduction: I am a gay man with OCD, it really doesn’t get any better than that ! 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.

Michael helped me with planning a laidback proposal vibe which was kept a secret right till the very end amidst a lot of challenges. It all worked out in the end and she said yes! And that is all that matters haha. We both loved what was done to the space with regards to the decoration and the whole vibe and were very happy with all of it!

So happy with Midnight G’s service! Threw myself a big “un-birthday” party with about 50 people in attendance. Party was a success and much of it due to Michael’s attentiveness. First , he’s an exceptional communicator. Something that’s really important going into an event. He showed up on time and got straight to work with set up. It was a fast moving bar , and not without complicated drink orders. He did great and my guests were impressed. I’m ever so grateful for the fact that he helped clean up and lightened my load at the end of the evening. Thank you so much for making my party memorable. 🎉🍾👏

Michael was truly amazing from start to finish. We were able to connect and come up with a plan for our wedding day. He helped me figure out how much alcohol to buy and also suggested a special cocktail. When I spoke to Michael, he mentioned that he was also a florist. This was great news because I had not come up with a plan for my bouquet or boutenir. I would recommend Michael to anyone who is throwing a party. He truly made the experience special for our guests. 😘

Michael (Midnight G) was a great bar tender. He was really responsive prior to my event, getting back to me within hours of any message I sent him. He took the initiative to make a custom cocktail menu and worked with me because I wanted to modify them slightly, he downloaded photos of my husband he found on Facebook and put them in the top border of the menu. The day of the event I was pulled in a million different directions so I basically showed him the area in which I wanted the bar set up and left him to do what he needed to do he is very self sufficient. My guests really enjoyed interacting with him and my husband has said we should hire him for our next event several times.

Details: 11 - 25 guests • Party host • Birthday party • Low key / casual • Private residence • Beer • Liquor / mixed drinks • Wine • Non-alcoholic beverages • Host will supply the drinks • Venue will already have a bar • Tip jars allowed • Setup / cleanup

Michael was such a fun addition to our backyard luau engagement party. He has a great upbeat attitude and absolutely elevated the event. He even wore a hawaiian shirt at our request! I highly recommend him for your event.
