I was told to only pick three but if I could I would have picked all five. Abby is the bomb, not only did she do a great job at my daughter’s wedding but I believe her and I could be close friends. Not only is her personality so great but she has an awesome sense of humor. I wish I lived closer so I could hire here for all of my parties. You will never regret hiring Abby from A Bar Where You Are.

Details: 101 - 125 guests • Wedding reception • Low key / casual • Public venue • Beer • Liquor / mixed drinks • Wine • Non-alcoholic beverages • Bartender will need to bring the bar • Tip jars allowed • Disposable cups • Ice

Laurie, Laurie, Laurie..we are friends! 🫶 Thanks so very much for the review. I enjoyed you and Scott from beginning to end. If I ever get to Wisconsin, I promise you'll be the first to know. I appreciate you both; for everything! 💕

I hired Abby to bar tend a private party in my home. She was professional and responsive from her initial response to the request through the end of the party. She provided excellent advice on what I needed and came with everything to make cocktails. She came in time to set up and cleaned up at the end of the night. As important, she is a fun person who added to my and my guests experience. I am still getting compliments about her. I will hire her again next time I have a party.

Details: 26 - 50 guests • Birthday party • Upbeat / lively • Private residence • Beer • Liquor / mixed drinks • Wine • Non-alcoholic beverages • Bartender will need to bring the bar • I'm flexible • Setup / cleanup • Ice • Disposable cups • Coolers • Glassware

Thank you for your thoughtful review, Maritza! I thoroughly enjoyed you and your guests. The food was both intricately displayed and very delicious, and your home is absolutely stunning. I hope this was one of your most memorable birthdays to date! Please do reach out if ever the need arises, I'd be delighted to come pour for you all anytime.
