A Black Tie Affair made our event a phenomenal one!! I highly recommend. Hired Tommy for my husband’s 40th birthday celebration with about 50 people and from the start, his responsiveness, punctuality and willingness to work with our likes to curate a custom menu was great! My guests and I had such a great time and tasty drinks!! If you are looking to hire a bartender for your event , look no further! His bar set up is very professional and he knows how to make a delicious drink.
Tommy, was an excellent bar tender. He managed our 40 person event really well and was highly professional. We would hire him again at our next event. Hire Tommy, you can't go wrong.

I was so pleased with Tommy and everything about his services. I hired him for my milestone birthday party and he was extremely professional and responsive. He provided a list of suggested cocktails, which I narrowed down, and then provided a shopping list for me, which was very helpful. He even had a print out menu and came with everything for a beautiful bar set up. His drinks were fantastic and all my guests were very impressed with everything he made. They kept him busy! Highly recommend a Black Tie Affair, Bartending!
Tommy was great, he is very easy to work with, very responsive and was very helpful with how much of what to buy. We hired him for my sister’s bridal. Everyone enjoyed their cocktails and we had people asking for his information for future events.

Tommy was a hit! The drinks were top quality with a wide range of variety. He was extremely helpful building the list of necessities. We are looking forward to our next event!
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Whenever somebody contacts me about hiring me for a special event, I just let them know that they must book in advance, they must put down a booking security deposit, which will be deducted from the final cost for the event. Also, depending on the event, I will do a contract of commitment that way the client and myself know that the date is booked and from that point on we have no other worries
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Typically, when working with a new client a try to get a feel for what they’re actually looking for or whom they’re actually looking for. Whether they need a person who’s just gonna pour drinks or somebody who’s going to be able to mix cocktails. Also, the length of time that they will need a bartender and the type of event that they’re needing to hire a bartender for. I ask him about their previous experience in hiring a bartender, and I just let them know my process as far as booking me for a date, putting down a deposit, and filling out a contract for service. Are usually try to be thorough, but clear, especially if they are new to hiring a bartender for a private event.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been in the service industry for about 17 years as a server and bartender, I completed bartending college, and I’ve worked for numerous restaurants and bars as a server and bartender. I also do private parties, weddings, and corporate events.
