Introduction: I am a certified female bartender based in Washington, DC. I've serviced high volume clubs, sports bars, lounges, and fine dining restaurants. My services include the event help and wait staff as well as the full bar experience; portable bar (if needed rental/setup fee applies) sprouts, bar mats, wine opener, garnishes, cooler for beer and wine, myself and a barback. I have had the pleasure of working multiple corporate holiday parties, private parties, business launches, anniversary parties, weddings, concerts, wine and beer festivals. I look forward to making your next event stress free and memorable. My goal is to ensure each host always feels like a guest at their own event.

Great experience with Nia. The bartender she sent Jae, was very polite courteous and professional. All the guests were very happy about how she suggested various cocktails based on their taste and preferences. She setup and cleaned up. Well worth the money!!

I hired Nia for annual Cider Social that I host in my home. She was on time, worked diligently and most importantly did everything with a smile. She was very attentive to myself as well as my guest. She remembered drink orders for everyone in the room. I will definitely be hiring Nia again next year. If you are ever in need of a bartender, I higly recommend her services.

We hired Nia to bartend our rehearsal dinner at a restaurant that allowed BYOB. She was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the whole process. She was responsive in the months, weeks, and days leading up to the event, always taking the time to talk through any questions I had. She went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we wanted. On the day of, she was excellent. She makes excellent drinks quickly, and she ensured none of my guests ever had an empty hand! I also think she has the best value of any bartender you’re going to find. If you’re looking for a quality bartender at a great price for your big event, you can trust in Nia! I’d recommend highly recommend her to anyone.

Miss Nia was a lifesaver on short notice for a black-tie cocktail party in my home. She emailed me a handy list of what I needed to have on hand and gave great advice. Her signature cocktail was a hit with our guests--I noticed several people asking her for the recipe. She arrived promptly an hour before the event as arranged and set up her bar (which took up much less space than one of my tables would have). My guests loved her drinks. When the party started thinning out, she used down-time to clean up so everything was organized and tidy for me at the end of the party. She's friendly, professional and makes great drinks. This was my first time using a bartender for a house party. I would definitely hire Miss Nia again--she freed us up to enjoy our own party.
