Lori did a great job bartending our anniversary party. She had all the equipment required to do the job. The guest really enjoyed her. I would hire her again. The only thing I would change is to provide a light source or suggest she bring a light source with her. I had her in a dark area without a light source and i could see it was hard for her to find the type of drinks guest were requesting.

Lori and her staff helper Heather did an excellent job at my party. Lori was bartending and made great cocktails while Heather helped with all the side activities to ensure the party went smoothly.

Lori was wonderful bartending and helping all around at my husband’s birthday party. She was responsive and creative working with me before the party to identify drinks and complete other planning. That evening she just had everything handled—which was good because I had so much else to do it was priceless to not have to worry about what was going on with drinks and the bar. And, as a major control freak not many earn enough of my confidence to just let go and trust but she didn’t let me down. During the evening when she had a lull she was pitching in and helping out with whatever she could and she left the bar cleaner and more organized than when she arrived. I’ve hired a bunch of bartenders for parties over the years—Lori was the best by far.

Lori and her staff were absolutely amazing for our 60 guest wedding reception!! She picked up the food from Publix, brought it to the venue, set it all up and even served as a bartender for the event before the regular bartender showed up. She kept me informed of what was going on, and was very courteous to everyone! We will definitely hire her again in the future when we need wait staff or bartenders! A+, great job!!
