Jose bartender my bridal shower on 1/17 and exceeded my expectations! I was hesitant to hire a bartender, as I’ve never done this before but myself and my guests enjoyed his cocktails and energy so much! He showed up early to make sure everything was perfect, and had a beautiful set up. Not to mention, he’s good looking 🤪 10/10 would recommend and use again!

Hired on Thumbtack

We hired Novela for our baby shower, and he absolutely exceeded our expectations! From start to finish, he was professional, friendly, and completely on top of everything. The cocktail menu he created was a huge hit—every single guest raved about the selection. He kept everything running smoothly and added such a fun and classy touch to the event. I would 100% recommend him for any gathering. We will absolutely be booking him again. Highly, highly recommended!
