About
💛 Kind reminder: Thumbtack charges per message, so please reach out when you're genuinely ready to book. I so appreciate your understanding! Hi, I'm Pratima! 🍹 After 17 years of crafting cocktails and creating memories, I can honestly say — this is my happy place. There's nothing I love more than walking into a party, getting behind the bar, and watching people relax, laugh, and have the time of their lives. Here's how it works: you supply the spirits, and I handle everything else — fresh-squeezed juices, handcrafted syrups, garnishes, napkins, straws, ice, disposable cups, all the tools, and plenty of good energy. My goal is simple: I want you to actually enjoy your own party, not stress about it. Every event I do is personal. I'm not just showing up to pour drinks — I'm showing up to make your night truly special. Let's chat and create something wonderful together. 🥂

I hired Pratima for my bridal shower in my backyard, and she was an absolute pleasure to work with. From the start, she was incredibly open to my customizations as the bride, ensuring the drinks and service perfectly matched my Pearls & Prosecco theme. Her setup was beautiful and professional, fitting seamlessly into my back yard space. She and her bar-back provided such a friendly, welcoming energy that really enhanced the all-women vibe of the afternoon. What made the service stand out: Curated menu: Pratima provided excellent recommendations to help create a truly specialized experience. Quality ingredients: The use of fresh juices from Trader Joe’s made a noticeable difference in the quality of the cocktails. Elegant presentation: Every detail was covered, from the fancy fruit adornments and champagne flutes down to the napkins. It was such a relief to have a professional team handle the bar so smoothly. And to top it all off—she is so kind with a bright smile. She's full of great energy. If you’re looking for a bartender who is collaborative, detail-oriented, and brings a great energy to your event, I highly recommend Pratima!

Pratima was just awesome. So glad I found her. She bartended my annual family holiday event and it was a big hit! All my guests loved her. She was friendly, professional & so flexible to work with. Hire her, you will not be disappointed! I look forward to working with Pratima again in the near future.

Pratima did bartending at my husband’s 40th birthday party. First of all she is a stellar bartender; all our guests loved the cocktails. She also went above and beyond in preparing a fun menu based on our theme. She was on time and set up a lovely bar despite the venue having none. Her colleague also constantly helped out throughout the party. Highly recommend Pratima for any party you are planning. You can hire her service and be assured that you are in good hands.

Had the awesome opportunity to work with Pratima! She was well versed in both bartending and socializing with all my friends. She went above and beyond to make sure all of us were taken care of and had a great time sipping on her well made drinks all night! Definitely will recommend to anyone looking for a bartender that knows what they’re doing. Helped clean up and left her station spotless when the event was over. She gained another lifetime customer!
