Shayla was absolutely wonderful to work with! We hired her to perform our wedding ceremony at our home. She really took the time to get to know us, had several consultations with us, and wrote an incredibly beautiful wedding ceremony script. It was a perfect blend of direction and free rein to make the ceremony exactly what we wanted.
On the wedding day, she arrived on time and got to know our family members before the ceremony started. The ceremony itself was wonderfully executed and we both really appreciated how much time and effort Shayla put into making our day special and memorable. Thank you for all you did for us! ❤️ I would highly recommend her services to anyone 😁

Shayla was absolutely OUTSTANDING! We hired her for a birthday party in May 2025. Her bubbly personality, her interaction with our guests and her expertise in bartending and knowing what our guests wanted was top-notch! She provided us with all of the information needed for a very successful bar; including help with signature drink ideas! She was proactive and made small sample drinks for the guests to try while we were playing games and mingling! She fit in perfectly with our family and guests and even played some of the games with us. She went above and beyond to make our party amazing! Her professional, yet beautiful aura, was the perfect addition to our event. Everyone loved her! We would absolutely request her assistance again in the future. And now that she is in Montana, we truly hope our paths cross again!

I can’t recommend Shayla enough! She bartended our wedding and everyone loved her!! We had several calls beforehand in which she helped us decide on drinks and helped us figure out quantities. She made that part of the wedding completely stress free. Plus she’s just a lovely human. Do yourself a favor and hire Shayla!!

Shayla was awesome! She bartended at my daughter’s wedding and did an amazing job. Prior to it, we had a couple great conversations on the phone about the event and she offered suggestions and listened to all the ins and outs of the event. She has bartended for top restaurants in Portland so has loads of professional experience. Shayla brought her bartending gear so the whole set up was super nice. She kept the back bar organized and helped with other things too as she noticed them. I. E. The caterers water was low/needed more glasses there etc. She was very fun to work with too. In short, I would unequivocally recommend Shayla for your next event.
