We hired R&D for our Halloween party and we were impressed from start to finish. They were punctual, friendly, and professional. They dressed up in a Halloween costume to tag along with our Halloween themed party and even brought adorable Halloween treats. They curated amazing cocktails with a spooky menu and kept drinks flowing smoothly. Highly recommend for any festive event. Five stars!
We had them bartend my baby shower and they were AMAZING. Not only were the drinks perfect, but their energy was so fun and welcoming. They handled everything seamlessly, professionally and made sure all of our friends and family were taken care of. I didn’t have to worry about a single thing, which meant I could actually enjoy celebrating. I’m so grateful we chose them and I will definitely use their service again! 10/10!

Our guests loved the service, and the entire experience was smooth from start to finish. They helped make the celebration even more special, and we received so many compliments on the bar.
Highly recommend for any graduation party, wedding, or special event. Thank you for helping make our day unforgettable!
