We’ve hired a lot of bartenders over the years. Richard was by far the best we’ve had! He responded quickly to any questions in preparation for our event, showed up ready to go and whipped up amazing cocktails like the pro he is. He even left the bar area when slow to help pick up any glasses/trash he saw. He went above and beyond in any way he could and made our event that much smoother. Our guests loved him and obviously so did we. We would love to have him back for our next event!

Details: 26 - 50 guests • Birthday party • Formal / elegant • Private residence • Beer • Liquor / mixed drinks • Wine • Non-alcoholic beverages • Venue will already have a bar • Tip jars not allowed • Setup / cleanup

We booked Richard for our wedding reception literally a week in advance and he came through and exceeded all our expectations. His price was much lower than all other quotes I received he was incredibly friendly on the phone and in person on the day of. He also went above and beyond providing cups and his own table and accessories to set up with no extra charge. One of our other vendors was a disaster so we were all frazzled and he completely rolled with it even though the timeline changed a bit and everything was a bit chaotic for a time. To sum up, his service was absolutely incredible. He's an accommodating professional who is both prompt in response and eager to help. He's also just a kind person, lovely to work with.
