Hired on Thumbtack

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 If you're looking for a bartender who will absolutely elevate your event, look no further than Shay! I hired Shay for a house party and she was the highlight of the night. From the moment she arrived, Shay brought incredible energy, professionalism, and creativity to the bar. Her drink-making skills were next-level every cocktail was crafted with precision and flair, and she even customized drinks on the fly to match guests' preferences. What really stood out was how attentive and engaging she was with everyone. Shay didn’t just serve drinks she created an experience. My guests couldn’t stop raving about her signature concoctions and warm personality. She kept the vibe flowing, the glasses full, and the smiles wide all night long. Shay went above and beyond in every way, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. If you want your party to be unforgettable, Shay is your secret ingredient.

Details: 11 - 25 guests • Cocktail party • Low key / casual • Private residence • Beer • Liquor / mixed drinks • Non-alcoholic beverages • I'm flexible • Tip jars allowed
