Rich was a big help to make our party a success! He was friendly and quick with making wonderful drinks. A hard worker and he came to make sure the guests were happy. Definitely would use Rich again for future parties. Thank you so much!

We hired Rich for my boyfriend’s 30th birthday party and he was amazing. He brought great energy, made incredible drinks, and handled the crowd smoothly all night.
He really elevated the entire event and we would absolutely hire him again. Highly recommend him for any party or event!

Rich was the bartender to my daughter’s 26th birthday celebration this past weekend and he was phenomenal!! He arrived early to set up, gave me a list prior to what I would need based on my party, and was very responsive with any questions I had! The cocktails he made were amazing, his overall service was great throughout the night, and the crowd loved him. Super appreciative that he was able to travel to the Bronx for the event (with an amazing rate) and had such a great turn out. I will definitely be booking Rich again for any future events I have!! 5 stars well deserved.

Rich was amazing from start to finish! He was friendly, professional, & the guests loved his drinks! Rich even toughed it out through the not so warm weather at the outdoor event (the weather was supposed to be much nicer ☹️). I definitely plan to use him again in the future!
Side note: he's been invited back to the family functions by multiple guests lol 💜
