Sue and her team did an amazing job for my backyard wedding of ~90 people! Before the event we had great communication, and she helped me figure out everything I needed for the day! Sue and her staff were a pleasure to work with and all of my guests raved about how friendly, accommodating and professional they all were. Pricing was very affordable especially considering the exceptional work they do! My wedding day was perfect with the help of Sue and her team! I 100% recommend Sue and her team to anyone that needs bartending or serving for an event!!!

Sue is fantastic! I hired her as a bartender but she did so much more than that. She was so flexible and was happy to fill in with whatever we needed. She also cleaned up which was very helpful. I will definitely be hiring her again soon!

We hired Sue, another bartender, and an additional person to help clean up for our wedding reception two weeks ago. I cannot recommend Sue enough! Leading up to our event she was engaged and responsive. She helped us to decide on what to get and even what cups would make sense for our event. Her and her team were extremely prompt and efficient. The night went so smoothly and all my friends/family raved about the drinks. Overall she did an amazing job and I would recommend her to anyone looking!
