We couldn’t have asked for a better bartender than Melissa for our wedding at Danville B&B! She crushed it! She was so friendly and attentive, making everyone feel welcome and cared for. The two signature drinks she made — inspired by our pets — were a huge hit and made the night feel so personal and special. Melissa’s positive energy and professionalism made everything run smoothly. Highly recommend her to anyone looking to add that extra sparkle to their event!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We hired Melissa for my husband’s 40th birthday party this past weekend, and they absolutely nailed it! From the moment the bar opened, they brought amazing energy, professionalism, and great vibes. Our guests were raving about the drinks all night and they kept the service smooth and fun even through the foam and poolside chaos! Super friendly, attentive, and clearly experienced. Would 100% book again for future events. Thank you for being a key part of an unforgettable night!

We host a New Years Eve party every year. This year we decided to add a mixologist to the event. We were lucky to receive a response from Melissa and Drink Til You Drop. What a find. To begin with , her bartending skills were excellent. Her professionalism and work ethic was exceptional. She truly helped make the evening memorable for everyone. I fully intend to have her join us for next years New Years Eve Party.

As an Architect, I am very particular about the presentation, of which a swank bartender is critical, especially one that can fit in with my Mid-Century Modern approach. Drink til you Drop was a most excellent adventure in how she handled everything. Since I have been doing a benefit Red Carpet Gala for 14 years, I have all of the proper stocking in the bar, but Melissa brought a lot more to that table, or bar as it were. She helped me set up the service with some tweaks beyond what I had done, was able to make drinks on request, and even helped me break down the bar back at the end. Since I couldn't leave all of the liquor stock in the pool screen, the toughest part at the end of the night is moving the liquor stock to the inside bar shelves when you've had only one drink(s)!... She did that and helped clean up, leaving only one dishwasher run to be had. She is fabulous! I know now that I found a professional bar tender to serve at my Red Gala in March. A definitely must hire and 6 stars from me, oh and don't forget to tip your bartender, I did, but will now do so after the fact...
