The bartender was absolutely exceptional and truly elevated our private party experience. From the moment He arrived, his professionalism, energy, and attention to detail stood out. The drinks were perfectly crafted, beautifully presented, and tailored to each guest’s preference. He kept the bar organized, the service smooth, and the atmosphere fun and engaging throughout the night. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for top-tier service and an unforgettable event. i can't wait to work with him again.Thank u Chris🙏🙏

HomeCraft Cocktails was absolutely amazing to work with! From the start, they truly took the time to understand the vision for our event and the signature drinks we wanted to highlight. Not only did they perfectly blend the flavors, but they even came up with fun and creative names for the cocktails that our guests loved. I was so impressed by the level of detail down to the freshly-squeezed lemon and lime juices. The pours were generous, the presentation was top-notch and the service was seamless. Our guests were very satisfied and kept raving about the drinks all night. Highly recommend HomeCraft Cocktails for any special occasion! You won’t be disappointed!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I typically charge $50–$100 per hour for bartending services only.
Important Note:
I am not licensed to sell alcohol. This means:
• The client and/or venue must provide all alcohol being served.
• I cannot purchase alcohol on behalf of the client.
• I do not sell individual drinks at events.
My rate covers my time, skill, and bartending service ONLY. I will supply my own bartending tools.
If you’d like me to provide mixers, syrups, ice, garnishes, or other supplies, please let me know in advance—these materials will include an additional supply fee based on what’s needed and the event size.
Gratuities are always welcome and appreciated!
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I work closely with each client, asking the right questions to make sure the event runs smoothly and delivers maximum fun and great vibes.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I got my first bartending kit as a Christmas gift in 2019, and when the pandemic hit in March 2020, I started experimenting with cocktails and was instantly hooked. What began as a hobby quickly grew into a passion; one that’s now a full-blown YouTube/Instagram channel and a thriving side hustle.
