Richard arrived in a timely manner to set up our bar before our wedding ceremony and was able to pivot after a few bar changes throughout our planning process together. Richard made it easy for us by bringing pitchers for margaritas and lemonades, plus straws and napkins. He was very attentive to the reception area and assisted with pick up of empty drinks and kept checking if new ones were needed. Super friendly and sweet thanks Richard for your contribution to our day!

We have the pleasure of having Richard at our daughter's Sweet Sixteen, along with his teammate. Could not make the event run better than they did. Since the first contact, he assured me he was going to help me to plan the drinks for the event. A few weeks before, he heard me out, gave me ideas, and shared his experience with what I was proposing. That was very helpful.
One of the things he assured me was that he was going to take care of the night and I was going to enjoy my time. He arrived on time, clean, professional, and attentive to all my guests. He was always attentive to the details and made sure my husband, daughter, and I were fed and hydrated. Very important for that hot night. I found that very kind of him.
Thank you Richard
