About
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. Guest tip jars these days are completely hit or miss as many folks don't carry cash nor feel the need to tip. *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 2025 Top Pro honors TWELVE 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! 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 have shared 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 ********************************, reserves your date. Pouring permit/license #PRN20220816010. Should your venue require liability ins. please go to ****************** for reasonable one day rates. 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.

We had such a great experience with this bartending service for our housewarming! Craig was incredibly helpful throughout the entire planning process. He was very responsive, answered all of our questions, and made sure we had everything we needed leading up to the event.

Our
bartender, Kara, was amazing! She arrived right on time, was extremely helpful and professional, and did a fantastic job throughout the entire night. She was friendly, attentive, and made everything run so smoothly, which allowed us to actually enjoy our party without worrying about the bar.

We were so happy with the service from start to finish and would absolutely recommend Craig, Kara, and the team for any event!

It's served us well as the longest running bar service company on Thumbtack for over 12 years now. Thank you so much for your business and generous review. We hope to serve for you and Nima again in the future!

Our office hosted a happy hour, and we didn't realize we needed a bartender until the day before the event. I reached out to CDE due to their glowing reviews and I'm so glad I did! Craig got back to me quickly and luckily Kara was available to come. Planning was thorough and Craig's responses were fast.
Kara arrived on time and had her professional bar set-up done in no time. She was personable, professional, and a fantastic
bartender. Highly recommend CDE for your events!

Details: 51 - 75 guests • Corporate event • Low key / casual • Public venue • Beer • Wine • Non-alcoholic beverages • Bartender will need to bring the bar • Tip jars not allowed • Setup / cleanup • Coolers

CDE's reply
Lauren, I'm so glad we were able to accomodate your corporate event last minute! Luckily it was on a weekday. Thank you for your kind words and generosity to Kara. Very pleased you were so happy with her performance and how she took care of your guests. We hope to serve for you and your employees in the future. Thank you!
