We worked with Josh for several house parties we hosted. Josh was always on time and had the bar ready to go. He's super friendly and communicates well. He also helped by recommending items to fill out the bar. The service was fast and responsive and our guests loved him. Many later hired Josh for their events. We've worked with other bartenders, but Josh is always our #1 choice!

I first met Josh at the Ritz-Carlton and was instantly impressed by his cocktails and service. He has a great presence behind the bar and makes everyone feel taken care of. I’ve hired him for a couple of my own parties, and he made hosting so easy. Highly recommend him.
