Introduction: I am a fun, responsible, caring person. I want to make your gathering special. I realize that people tend to gather around a bar, so I am friendly, attentive, and extremely helpful to all guests. I have regular clients that are not on Thumbtack that request my services on a regular basis. I get a lot of referrals from these people, but I'm also enjoying expanding with Thumbtack. I've been a bartender for many years, and I know my way around a cocktail. I can come up with a theme cocktail, help you design a menu, or create a cocktail on the spot. All my regular clients tell me I am a special part of their gatherings. My prices reflect the hours of service I'm offering you. I do have a small charge for glassware, disposable cups, garnishes, and ice, and my great portable bar, but all my bar supplies are included. I hope you'll look at all I have to offer before you choose someone who might charge a little less, or maybe even a little more! Your guests will notice the difference, I guarantee you. That said, I put my heart into everything that I do for your event. The fact that I'm a super nice guy, great with guests, and work hard to make sure your event goes as planned is why I believe I'm always a good choice for your gathering. Just please, realize, this is a business for me, and if you hesitate, I may not be available. I've had many potential clients that I've had to turn down because they waited too long to book me. The fact that I'll also help you with a cocktail menu and a shopping list makes my pricing very reasonable. I love the art of making a really delicious and innovative cocktail. I love meeting new people. I love being able to combine these two in order to make your gathering an event that both you and your guests will remember.

If you’re looking for a bartender for an event - look no further! Daniel was great to work with from start to finish. He bartended at my husband’s surprise birthday party and everyone at our event loved his good energy and cocktails. He was very responsive and helped me create a shopping list prior to the event. We will definitely keep him in mind for any future needs. Thanks for everything Daniel, we hope to see you again!

Daniel was amazing and seamlessly handled a lard crowd. We had such a great time and did not worry a thing about the bar during our event. All the guests were very pleased with Daniel’s professionalism and his work. Daniel organized the bar well in advance of the start of the event, planned for all requirements, and stayed a bit longer before he could close the bar! We were really glad we found Daniel to bartend our event!

Great cocktails! We hired Daniel for a small 30 person wedding reception. His presence truly elevated our event. Many people complimented his drinks the next day. He went above and beyond to make sure we had everything for the event. We will definitely hire him for future events.

Daniel was great to work with! I had some specific ideas for the drinks menu and he accommodated and added his own ideas to match the theme. He was responsive throughout the planning process. At the event, Daniel was on time and very courteous of some guests modification requests. He even helped clean up around the room when he had some down time during the event (this was unprompted and so appreciated!) The drinks tasted great and I had a handful of guests tell me they really enjoyed interacting with Daniel.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
i generally charge $40-50 an hour for a bartending event. I vary the price from $30-$40 for some catering events, depending on what services the client wants and how many people I will be serving. This may seem steep at first, but I guarantee you, it comes with many perks. I have a great portable bar that I am happy to bring. I have a collection of glassware that I will bring for an extra $20-$40, depending on the # of guests I will be serving. I bring all supplies needed to make great cocktails and serve beer and wine as well. Some catering companies charge extra for every little thing, and by the headcount, but I don't. I am happy to bring anything the client wants within reason. I prefer the client provide ice and liquor for the event, as it gets cumbersome to bring all my supplies, my bar, etc., but if it is absolutely necessary, I work with the client to get what he or she needs at the event with minimal burden to us both.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I normally contact the guest through Thumbtack first, and then give my personal cell phone. Then I either contact the guest, or ask them to contact me. I have an event sheet that I go through with the client, and ask them about any special details like specialty cocktails or supplies that the host would like me to bring. I am then happy to suggest cocktails that I believe are delicious and popular. I am happy to send a list for the client to choose from, or have them suggest some to me. In the end, I put together a shopping list if the client requests it. I keep in contact with the client up until the event, and check back with them after to see how they feel everything went.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I've been bartending in restaurants and clubs since I was of legal age. I know the restaurant business inside and out, and I still work as a professional bartender and server in a restaurant. I keep abreast of the latest trends in cocktails and spirits, and am always trying to learn more about my craft. I love what I do, and it shows.
