About
A general note before my description. A basic price of $200.00 for 4 hours is for New Jersey Residence since I live in NJ. For the New York area, Philadelphia, PA area, and the Delaware Water Gap area, there is a $50.00 traveling fee added to cover tolls and extra gas if needed. So $250.00/4 hrs. is the basic price for those areas. Also, there is a 3 hour minimum in all areas in New Jersey. 3 hour cost in New Jersey is $175.00. In all other areas listed above, there is a 4 hour minimum at $250.00. Please also note that additional fees may be added for longer than usual traveling (longer than 1 HR. 30 minutes) and for parking costs in garages. I try to be fair by looking for places on the street near the destination first or cheap garages if there is no parking on the street. Now, if you are looking for a top-notch bartender for your event, look no further. With over 10 years experience in the industry, and one of the few licensed bartenders in 3 states, NJ, NY, and PA, I try to go above and beyond to make sure your event goes off as smooth as possible. When you hire me, I come fully equiped with all the bar equipment like shakers, openers, bar napkins, straws, holder, ice bucket for drinks, and more. I will also send you an event guide, a most requested drink list for both men and women, a recommended bar supply list, and an appropriate contract to look at. Known for my excellent service and attention to detail, you can see that I was hired over 300 times and have 247 5 star reviews on this platform. I believe that with my qualifications, my pricing based on 4 hours is reasonable, along with any additional requested hours. I also always show up 1 hour earlier to set up at no additional cost, ensuring that we have everything we need for your event. So, if you are planning a small or large event, let me help you create a memorable experience for you and your guest. Dates are filling up, so reach out today to check availability and book your event. ***LICENSED AND INSURED (Now Licensed in 3 states. New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania). One of the few who are licensed in 3 states. I like meeting people and bringing a smile to their face with something I say or with something I recommend as a drink and make for them.

David, my bartender, was absolutely amazing and truly the sweetest human! He arrived early to set up, was extremely responsive to all of my emails, and answered every question and concern I had with patience and clarity. His guideline was super helpful and provided clear direction for everything I needed in terms of drinks and materials. His pricing was very reasonable, and he really listened to everything I wanted for my event. David was incredibly organized, professional, and made such great drinks! I’m beyond happy I hired him and would 100% recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and talented bartender.

Details: 126 - 150 guests • Birthday party • Formal / elegant • Public venue • Liquor / mixed drinks • Non-alcoholic beverages • Venue will already have a bar • Tip jars allowed • Setup / cleanup

Thank you, Ydaliny M. from Allentown, PA for the great review. I am so glad everyone was happy with what we put together. It could be challenging trying to figure what guest might be in the mood to drink. Again, I am glad it worked out. Thanks again and take care. David
