Dani was hands down the best bartender we could have asked for! she was incredibly responsive and punctual, fit in perfectly with our group and was so friendly and professional. Her drinks were fantastic, and she went above and beyond by helping with setup, service and cleanup. She even brought all her own tools, which made everything so seamless as we were staying in an airbnb. I would highly recommend Dani to anyone needing a fabulous bartender for their next event.

We hired an Dani for our event and had an amazing experience. She was incredibly helpful, proactive, and always one step ahead, taking care of things before I even thought to ask. Her attention to detail and calm, friendly presence made the entire event run so smoothly. It was such a relief knowing everything was handled. I would highly recommend her and the team for any event. She was truly invaluable support.

We had the best day with Danielle at our Airbnb for a bachelorette trip. We were truly able to enjoy ourselves and she was so attentive to whatever was needed and truly made the day perfect! I would absolutely suggest her to anyone looking for a bartender and or event staff. Her drinks were amazing and she was so prompt, clean, and friendly. We can’t stop talking about what a good day we had with her!
