Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: Greetings, I'm Craig Dane owner/operator of CDE event bartending. Thank you for the opportunity to quote your event and for your interest in CDE! *Our fee includes one extra hour of prep, my portable bar set up if needed, extra coolers/metal bin, cocktail ice bin, barware tools, cocktail straws and napkins, trash can, floor mat, all detailed consultations and constant clean-up. *Fee is plus client gratuity of your choice based on your level of satisfaction and total fee. Fee assumes use of a guest tip jar. Without one add $15 per hour per bartender. Guest tip jars are completely hit or miss as many folks don't carry cash. Please see over 200 FIVE star reviews on Thumbtack, GigSalad, TheKnot, Yelp, Gigmasters and our website. See our Thumbtack Profile and accolades. We have earned Thumbtack's 2023 Top Pro honors NINE years running! Less than 4% of pro's receive this in any one single year! *After deposit I will send you detailed recommendations on ALL product types, brands and quantities needed for your shopping list down to ice and garnish! *Please note from June-Sept we rarely work outdoors in Atl heat and humidity due to three incidents with team members experiencing heat exhaustion over the years. Indoor serving takes all heat/rain/wind/shelter stress out of your event for our team and you and your guests! Many events will have bar inside with the food and event indoors/outdoors. Our bartenders are assigned the week of the event. For liability reasons when serving an open bar our max. window of service is FOUR hours plus the one extra prep/set up hour. Our attention to detail and the time we put into making your event a success is second to none in this business. This is info our clients share with us :) Beware the "discount" bartender. This service business I created is my livelihood, not my side job. You only have one chance with your all important event and you'll typically get what you pay for. Top notch professional service providers are what you'll get at CDE! *A $75 non-refundable deposit in either my Paypal (my email) pay 2.9%fee, reserves your date. Pouring permit/license #PRN20220816010. Should your venue require LIABILITY INS. Thank you for your consideration, we're here to serve! Craig Dane I am also passionate about and very much enjoy being a WEDDING OFFICIANT! Please see my reviews/photos with my bartending services at CDE Wedding Officiant.

Craig Dane was so great! We were looking for someone to officiate our wedding which we were planning in less than 48 hours notice and he was so pleasant and eager to help. Again we had less than 48 hours to get someone and he came through and made our wedding happen. He was very kind, professional and worked with us and met a second time with us after the wedding because we didn’t know what we were doing document wise. He guided us through the process and because it was such short notice we didn’t have the marriage license for him to sign the day of and he didn’t make us feel bad at all and met us on his own personal time the next day to sign our legal license of marriage. We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant. We plan on using him later as well for his other services for our reception. If you are looking for a great person to help you, he is the best choice!

Details: Wedding • Christian • 20 guests or fewer • Help writing vows will not be needed • English • Officiant will not be needed at the rehearsal • Officiant does not need to be present at rehearsal

CDE was fantastic! We hosted a graduation party and wanted the adults to be able to enjoy themselves. Craig was very helpful recommending a setup for the party. He provided us with a shopping list for the drinks and then provided everything else. The guests had a great time, and the drinks were great!

Details: 26 - 50 guests • Special occasion • Low key / casual • Private residence • Non-alcoholic beverages • Beer • Wine • Liquor / mixed drinks • Bartender will need to bring the bar • Tip jars allowed • Setup / cleanup

CDE's reply
