Michael is a top notch professional. He was the bartender at my wedding on New Years Eve, and he was not only an amazing bartender, but a warm and friendly energy throughout the whole evening. Everyone loved him. He went above and beyond to make sure all my guests were taken care of at the wedding, and as the bride I was able to relax and fully trust that everyone was being served with a smile. Michael truly is the best! We are lucky to have worked with him.

I had hired Michael to bartend my girlfriend's family party, and he did more than exceed my expectation. He was the highlight of the party. Throughout the event, guests would walk up to me to give compliments about Michael. He made the best-tasting drinks. He didn't wait for the guests to come to him to request a drink; he'd walk around to ensure that anyone who wanted a drink had one in their hand and, at the same time, picked up any trash lying around. He had the guests smiling all night with his charming personality. He brought this indescribable positive energy that made you want to chant his name at the night's end. It's hard to put into words to describe the outstanding service he provided. You need to hire him to see for yourself, and I promise you won't regret it. #oneofakind #bestservice #top-rated #wow

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.
