Anita with Cheerful Bartending was absolutely exceptional for my birthday dinner party with friends! Everyone kept raving about the delicious drinks she was concocting. But what truly set her apart for us was everything additional she did! She was entertaining guests, picking up after my kids, and helping out the caterer as well. She just went above and beyond with excellent service. The blackberry sling that she makes is out of this world! Can’t wait to book my next party with Anita!

I hired Anita for my partner's 30th birthday party, she was incredible to work with, such a fun and amazing person! She brought her good vibes, and so much LIFE to our beach themed birthday party and it was beyond what we expected!! She made super delicious signature cocktails and even gave us surprise shots every couple of hours and kept us on our toes!! I would def 100% recommend her and even looking forward to having her in our future events

Anita did an exceptional job at my 60th celebration. All my guests spoke highly her and all the drinks and shots were on point. She always had a smile and very attentive to my guests as well as making sure their drinks were good and refilled right away. I had the best time without worrying about anything. Thank you Anita! You are the best and will definitely reach out in the future again. I highly recommend Cheerful Bartending for all your events whether big or small, she will make it special and fun! I am a very happy and satisfied customer! Thank you Anita take care and hope to work with you in the near future.

Anita and her team was a pleasure to work with! We had 110+ people in our party and there were no lines. We had two bars, one downstairs for the cocktail hour and one upstairs for the reception, and they did that without a hitch.They were kind, efficient, and fun. Our wedding had two signature drinks, his (Calpico, soju, sprite) and hers (whiskey highball). They both were so delicious and guests raved about them. Anita even took videos and made shots to serve to people! Thank you so much for making our day so special <3
