I hired Christine for my mother's 70th birthday party. She and I worked together to come up with a signature cocktail for the party, which was a hit with our guests. Christine was incredibly responsive when I reached out in the days leading up to the party and provided a helpful list of beverages for me to pick up. It was a joy having her assist with the event -- she's a drink-slinging professional!

Christine and Ayesha were the hit of the party! Christine knocked it out of the park with drinks/bar tending and Ayesha not only did a great job serving food and drinks, but was constantly cleaning up and making sure everything was fresh. Christine also did a great job of cleaning up. My house was spotless after a party of 50. They are my squad from now on!!!

Christine was by far the most responsive to the needs of our party as far as set-up and supply. She worked with me to determine what we didn't have and what we needed. She made what could have been a stressful situation, stressless. Come the time of the party, she was prepared and professional, handled everyone's requests, and cleaned up better than she found the place. I would totally hire her again and recommend her to others. First Things Thirst will be my first call when I need a bartender again.

Christine was very professional, prompt, and easy to work with. I ordered both drink pouches and syringes for my birthday event and they were definitely the highlight of the night. She was very accommodating and answered all of my many questions. It was really the perfect amount of alcohol. I even asked her to throw in a few “stronger” ones for me and she definitely came through. Really looking forward to using her services again in the future for my graduation party!
