Michael didn’t just stand by the bar, he walked around and ask people what they wanted to drink. We didn’t have too many people drinking, so he walked around and picked up glasses, empty cans and bottles etc.. he didn’t sit around waiting for people to come to bar. My friends asked if he was a family friend or my friend, the way he was helping out. I would hire him again in a heart beat!! He was so pleasant. Thank you so much Michael!! Having you at the party, was a piece of mind!!

Michael is THE MAN !!! I cannot express how grateful I am to have had Michael bartend for a party I threw this past Sat. He came on time with all his equipment/accessories well prepared. I was even running behind on setting up for the party and he jumped right in to help alongside. What a PRO!! He was friendly and attentive the whole night, and my text messages have been FLOODED with glowing message about how much they enjoyed Michael and asked where/how I found him. He will be the ONLY go-to person I will call up whenever I have my next event.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing starts at $40.00 an hour. Prices may change based on party size and length.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I will ask what kind of drinks will your event need, do I need to help acquire the liquor, is there a specialty drink, and more. I will take any information you have, and prepare for your event a head of time. I prefer to show up 30 minutes or more, before the event starts to prepare and make sure everything is set for the even the earliest of arrivals.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I try to stay on top of things in my industry as much as I can.
