Introduction: I am a gay man with OCD, it really doesn’t get any better than that ! I am extremely detail oriented,and therefore will ALWAYS go the extra mile to make sure that I exceed your expectations. Just doing a great job is not enough, I try to always give a little more than anyone would expect and it makes me feel good to make people happy. Most people are hiring me to relieve them of something so that they can either enjoy a party, event or just relax and know that everything is being handled. So for me, I LOVE to watch the person I'm working for, as they eventually start to unwind and begin enjoying themselves. It's awesome to know that something you did helped bring joy into someone's life, even if it's just for a moment.

Michael helped me with planning a laidback proposal vibe which was kept a secret right till the very end amidst a lot of challenges. It all worked out in the end and she said yes! And that is all that matters haha. We both loved what was done to the space with regards to the decoration and the whole vibe and were very happy with all of it!

Michael was an exceptional bartender; even better than his 5-star reviews promised. He was very responsive to early planning emails and provided suggestions on custom cocktails and then a shopping list. The day of our 30-guest party he did a fabulous job of keeping everyone happy and glasses filled -- and afterwards he even helped clean up (when no one was looking). I'm thinking of other parties we can throw just to hire Michael again!

Michael was a great bartender for our recent event! He came up with a great speciality cocktail ahead of time, came early to help set up, did a fantastic job attending to our (30) guests in a smaller space and stayed to help clean up. I would rec him for your next event!

Michael did such a great job bartending for our companies happy-hour. He was very easy to communicate with, and helped us come up with a drinks menu beforehand. During the event he was proactive about finding what was needed in our space without bothering the management.
