If you’re considering hiring MGM Bartending, here’s your sign: DO IT. Marie was the highlight of our event and made the night unforgettable in all the best ways. She brought her A-game, her personality, and her famous Cherry Habanero Margarita — which, by the way, is life-changing.
Some of the Marie magic:
Signature Cocktails That WOW: Marie’s Cherry Habanero Margarita is an absolute work of art. It’s the perfect blend of sweet, spicy, and a little bit of mystery, just like her! I’m not kidding — people were coming back for seconds, thirds, and asking if she could ship them a batch. She’s got a gift for reading the room and crafting drinks that make everyone feel like VIPs.
A True Pro With A Party Heart: Marie balanced flawless service with genuine warmth. She was calm, professional, and somehow always seemed to have exactly the drink you didn’t even know you needed. Plus, she managed to remember names, keep the jokes flowing, and stay on top of the crowd without missing a beat.
The Extra Mile (and Then Some!): Marie didn’t just pour drinks; she created an experience. She checked in on guests, gave everyone tips for avoiding a hangover, and made sure we all had water. My friends are still talking about her — and we’ve all added “Cherry Habanero Margarita” to our drink bucket lists!
In short, Marie is MGM Bartending. If you’re lucky enough to get her for your event, buckle up. She’ll take your party from ordinary to extraordinary with that Cherry Habanero Margarita and an unforgettable energy. I’d book her again in a heartbeat!

I have used MGM Bartending's services for years. Marie (the owner) is one of the most hard-working people I have ever worked with and she pours her heart into literally everything she does. She is not only great at bartending aspect of her business, she also nails it on execution and event planning as she goes through all aspects of your event step-by-step. I was thrilled that she went above and beyond to create a shopping list for us to streamline the process. That saved us a ton of money as we would have purchased way more alcohol than we needed and is one of the many reasons why we will continue to use MGM's services. If you hire just one vendor for your event, call Marie with MGM. She is worth every penny.
