I had the pleasure of hiring Rodrigo's mobile bartending service for a recent event, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From start to finish, Rodrigo offered exceptional value, expert knowledge, and impeccable punctuality. One of the standout qualities of Rodrigo was his punctuality. He arrived promptly, set up efficiently, and was ready to start serving our guests at the designated time. This level of professionalism and reliability was greatly appreciated and contributed to the smooth flow of our event.
