Nia was amazing! I booked her for a cocktail party in this cool floral shop - it was a hit and she was wonderful and skilled at mixing up the drinks! I planned on bringing everything to set up the bar with but loved that she came prepared for the unexpected and brought her own tools and other bar items. Nia was friendly and went with the flow as we essentially had to create a bar area in that shop for the party but it worked out great! I would definitely book Nia again for future events!

We had far more guests than originally expected, but she was able to handle it perfectly. Along with creating a great cocktail for the night, she did an overall incredible job.

Miss Nia was a lifesaver on short notice for a black-tie cocktail party in my home. She emailed me a handy list of what I needed to have on hand and gave great advice. Her signature cocktail was a hit with our guests--I noticed several people asking her for the recipe. She arrived promptly an hour before the event as arranged and set up her bar (which took up much less space than one of my tables would have). My guests loved her drinks. When the party started thinning out, she used down-time to clean up so everything was organized and tidy for me at the end of the party. She's friendly, professional and makes great drinks. This was my first time using a bartender for a house party. I would definitely hire Miss Nia again--she freed us up to enjoy our own party.

Great experience with Nia. The bartender she sent Jae, was very polite courteous and professional. All the guests were very happy about how she suggested various cocktails based on their taste and preferences. She setup and cleaned up. Well worth the money!!
