Scotty was AWESOME! He showed up very early and did all the bar setting up, even brought extra flowers in case I didn't have anything. He is adorable and friendly and some guests even asked for his info so they can use him in the future. He was more reasonably priced than other bartenders I considered, (he should raise his prices) but that was not a reflection of his quality! He has a good eye and offered to help with setting food out before the guests arrived, after he was finished setting up the bar. He also turned on my electric candles for me during the party without me even asking him to, after it got dark and I forgot about them! I was a little nervous because I haven't used Thumbtack before and Scotty didn't have as many reviews here, but I feel so lucky to have found him and will definitely hire him again at my next party!

Sparkling or Still did an outstanding job at our luxury leather event. Their excellent creation of a bar and lounge within our VIP room was a hit. Our clients also enjoyed the specialty cocktails that were precisely tailored to our needs. We highly recommend Sparkling or STILL - Thank you so much Scotty!!
