Christopher was absolutely outstanding! Awesome! Everyone at our holiday party was beyond satisfied with the quality of the cocktails he prepared, his personality. I hope he’ll be around and available to bartend at our events in the future.

Chris was amazing for my dads 60th birthday party! He was early to set up, greeted guests at the bar and even remembered their names! He walked around to take orders and even helped clean up plates and cups that were left around throughout the night. We would hire Chris again in a heartbeat!
Christopher did a wonderful job at our annual Christmas party. We host a party every year in our home. This was the first time that we decided to not do everything ourselves. Christopher not only poured drinks at the bar, he circulated with all of the guests, cleared plates and cups, and served as a host. We had so many compliments from friends on how much they “loved Chris”. We hope to use him again next year and would recommend him to anyone!

We hired Christopher after reading the great reviews. He was amazing! He was quick to respond and answered all our pre-party questions promptly. Christopher went above and beyond, making amazing drinks and cleaning up empty cups and plates. He arrived early and had a full bar set up plus extras. He was friendly, made great drinks and we would hire him again. Having Christopher took the stress away from us and allowed us to enjoy the party with our guests.
Chris was fantastic. His bartending skills and recipes were excellent. He remembered everyone’s names and drink choices. Genuinely seemed to enjoy and have fun with everyone. Highly recommend
