Working with the team at That's The Spirit MB really helped make our corporate event in the Chicago Loop a success. Chris and Emily were fantastic, lively, and so incredible at making the delicious custom drinks for our client presentation with the Kohler brand. Communicating with Holly was clear and concise, helping me understand anything I needed to complete to help them! Holly was also very responsive to any questions I had and/or details regarding our event. Please hire this incredible company! They are beyond punctual (arriving earlier than I expected), and they are incredibly skilled and hospitable. I can not praise them enough for the work they did. In the future, I will absolutely rehire TTSmb and encourage others to do so as well.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely loved working with That's the Spirit! I threw a 30th birthday and wanted friends and family to enjoy a seamless night out and not worry about anything. The team brought the mixers, the ice, cups, straws, everything! Not only did I nor my guests have to not worry about anything, the drinks were delicious, the bartenders were easy to work with and everyone was feeling great by the end of the night! ALSO - loved the custom printed menu they were able to bring from the signature drinks I picked and renamed! Drink Tip: Pick the peach nectar mocktail as a menu item and have the bartenders add vodka/gin into the mix! It was a FAN FAVORITE! Absolutely will book again!!!

Had a phenomenal experience with Holly from that’s the spirit MB! I was throwing my first party and had 1 million questions and she had so much patience and answered every single one. They were punctual and the drinks were phenomenal. Her espresso martinis were to die for! She brought all the extras we could ever need. I will 100% be having her at the next party I throw! You will not regret booking with holly!!
