We had such a great experience with Justin for our baby shower! Our original bartender canceled on us last minute, and Justin was incredibly accommodating and willing to step in on short notice. He made the whole Thumbtack process super easy and stress-free from the beginning. Justin was punctual, professional, and set up his bar area very cleanly. He made all of our guests feel comfortable and was happy to answer any questions we had. He also took the time to walk us through what a typical event looks like when working with him, which was really helpful in making us feel prepared.
He has experience working in different types of settings, which was a huge plus, and he was very flexible with our needs. On top of being great at what he does, Justin is just a super chill and personable guy who made the whole experience enjoyable.
We really appreciated how accommodating and easygoing he was, especially given the last-minute circumstances. We would definitely hire Justin again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and professional bartender for their event!

JH Mobile Bartending was an absolute pleasure to work with and played a huge role in making our event a success. From the very beginning, his communication was excellent—responsive, professional, and helpful throughout the planning process.
The service on the day of the event was outstanding. He arrived on time, was fully prepared, and handled everything with professionalism and attention to detail. The drinks were expertly crafted, served efficiently, and were a hit with our guests.
What impressed us most was his reliability, professionalism, and commitment to providing a top-notch experience. If you’re looking for a mobile bartender who delivers exceptional drinks, great communication, and dependable service, I highly recommend JH Mobile Bartending. We will definitely be using his services again for future events.

Hands down 5/5 experience. Great person to work with. He even assisted with making homemade lemongrass syrups for one of the drink options. He was truly awesome to work with. I would recommend him to any and everyone.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I have a $250 minimum for events less than 4 hours.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to find out more about the details of the event, discuss any specialty cocktails, and plan for the special occasion. I do ask that we both sign a contract and for an $50 deposit to complete the booking that gets deducted from the total after the completion of service. Then we go from there!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I graduated from the Connecticut School of Bartending.
