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.

Danielle and her staff were nothing short of incredible. In the middle of everything that took place they stepped in and provided assistance to help in the best way possible. We got so many compliments on how they took care of everyone during the event and I will never forget how they assisted me in my time of need. Danielle, thank you again for all of your help! You and your girls are appreciated!

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!
