Angela was awesome. She was on time and did a great job bartending our backyard party. Everyone enjoyed talking with her and she made delicious drinks. I would highly recommend her and definitely would hire her again in the future.

My wife and I had hosted a birthday party here at our place and Angela showed up early with everything a bartender needs. Was professional and knew her drinks. She can be creative as you need or keep the drinks more traditional as well. Would highly recommend.

The service was fantastic! I thoroughly enjoyed my birthday & my favorite part of my birthday was having a “in home” bar. It was different and was a great way to get everyone socializing over what type of cocktail they would like next! They also had a party trick up their sleeves which involved fire, we had a blast, it was hilarious trying to figure out how to take the shot a little tipsy. Great surprise! She was wonderful and was also up for having a couple of drinks with us which I loved !!! I will be recommending her services to everyone I know. All my friends had an amazing time. Thank you!!!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Thirst Busters bartending packages start at $350 for one bartender for up to 4 hours. Our service includes more than just a bartender—we provide a professional mobile bar experience that can include a portable bar setup, ice, cups, napkins, straws, garnishes, and a customized signature cocktail menu. The client supplies the alcohol. Additional bartenders may be required based on guest count. If the host requests a no-tip-jar event, gratuity is added in advance. Contact us with your event date, location, guest count, and event type for an exact quote
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We make the process simple. First, we gather your event date, location, guest count, event type, and service time. Once availability is confirmed, we discuss your bar setup, drink preferences, and signature cocktails. We can also help you determine what alcohol and mixers to purchase. On event day, we arrive with enough time to set up the bar before service begins so you can focus on enjoying your event.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Our bartenders are experienced professionals, and BASSET certification is maintained as required. I have more than 20 years of bartending and hospitality experience, including high-volume bars, clubs, private events, weddings, corporate events, and special celebrations. Thirst Busters has served thousands of events over the years.
