Katherine M. says, "I had the absolute pleasure of hiring Lydia as our private chef for a special getaway with my sweetheart, and from start to finish, the experience was beyond exceptional. What truly stood out right from the start was how passionate Lydia is about what she does. You can tell she loves her craft and deeply cares about her clients and the experience they have - it shows, and it’s something you really feel. Lydia worked closely with me to curate the perfect menu, was open to every suggestion and ensured every detail was tailored to our tastes. Her communication was always timely, warm, and thoughtful, making me feel like I’d known her by the time I met her in person. When our evening arrived, Lydia and Nathan brought a level of professionalism and warmth that made the evening even more magical. The food was not only delicious but also presented beautifully - truly five-star quality. Their service was impeccable, with Lydia and Nathan seamlessly serving each of our four courses, allowing us to sit back and fully enjoy the experience. They took care of everything, from the food prep to cleaning up afterward and even packing up the leftovers. It felt like we were dining at a top-tier restaurant, all within the cozy setting of our beautiful Airbnb, all without having to lift a finger. Lydia made our evening unforgettable, and we’re already dreaming up more occasions in the future so we can work with her again. Her talent and warmth are unmatched. Highly recommended!"See more

How do I find a good bartender?

Put some time on your calendar to research and compare top-rated bartenders near you online. Start by looking at their ratings and services. For example, some bartending services will provide a waitstaff, glassware, ice, coolers, food and more.

Next, look at their photos of past events and read the customer reviews. Find feedback on the bartenders’ services. Did they offer fair pricing? Did they show up on time to set up? Did they bring all of the appropriate drinks, cups, supplies and decorations? Did they interact politely with the party guests and provide a pleasant overall experience? And did they do the agreed-upon cleanup afterward?

Narrow down your top choices, and start contacting the bartenders. Ask for cost estimates for your event, and tell them how many people will be attending, what type of event it is and what services you require. You should also ask them questions about their experience.

Bartenders may need a license in your state, county or city to work at a private party. Make sure they’re properly certified before you hire anyone.

Do bartenders need to be licensed?

Certain counties, cities and states may require licensing. Check your local government’s regulations before starting your search.

In many cases, you might want to choose a bartender who has a license and/or certification. If you’re considering hiring a bartender for an upcoming event or a special occasional, check their online profiles to find out what credentials they have. If you can’t find the information online, don’t hesitate to ask them directly when requesting to receive free estimates.
