Introduction: Greetings! PLEASE READ BELOW (DISCLOSURE): Please be advised that Thumbtack charges us Pros when you contact us for an event inquiry, even if you DO NOT hire us. Honestly, the fees can be a killer, especially when you are constantly paying for nothing. Sooooo my dear customers, I kindly ask, please ONLY inquire if you are interested in retaining my awesome services. I'd love to hear from you! Thank you in advance! INTRODUCTION: I am new to Thumbtack (Feb 2022) and I'm very excited to be here on this platform! My name is Tamika, I am an insured and RAMP Certified Bartender of 24 years. I am pretty much always happy, positive and full of life! I get along with almost any and everybody! I will travel just about anywhere NJ, MD, DE, PA and NY. I travel with 2 pop-up bars (1 large/1 small), small table, ice bin and bartending tools plus I provide all garnishes. For wedding receptions, I provide a complimentary gallon of adult punch to add to the open bar. BACKGROUND: I worked at a staple bar in South Philadelphia with my two awesome Italian bosses for 22 years in which I managed for 5 years once my boss fell ill. My talents there, led me to branch out to work for other neighboring businesses who also sought out my talent during that 22 yr. span. Bartending is my side adventure, during those beautiful 9-5 hours, I am an Executive Assistant to the Dean at a prestigious college in Philadelphia. I also currently working at a Legion Post every Thursday for karaoke night. I have been at the post for the past 3 years. I also partnered as a vendor with Precious Moments Banquet Hall in Berlin, NJ for approximately 1 year and 5 months. I also have the pleasure of being the mobile bartender for Carae Creations Catering. This up-and-coming catering business along with myself, have tag teamed in providing services for the City of Philadelphia at the Horticultural Center in Fairmount Park. I've worked various events and feel comfortable enough to now explore the "independent" mobile bartending servicing. I'm a vibrant, professional, fun-filled, hospitable host who knows how to connect with people by providing a welcoming atmosphere. I pride myself in wanting people to have a great experience when they come over to get a beverage from me with a smile! I'm always prepared with positive energy, good hospitality and a ready to get the job done attitude! I look forward to hearing from you! CHEERS! Tamika The Mobile Bartender

The evening with Tamika could not have been any better! Our fundraiser had a few unforseen issues which in turn did not make Tamika's job easy. She was patient, understanding, & very helpful, going above & beyond to make sure our guests received the best service. We intend to use Tamika for all of our upcoming fundraising (& personal events). I would recommend Tamika 150%!

I contacted Tamika to bartend and hire servers for my cousin’s husband’s 40th bday. From our first conversation she was super helpful and professional. She was responsive to all our inquiries and needs. She and her servers did an awesome job and my cousin texted me that she will definitely continue using them in the future.

Details: Birthday party • Fewer than 50 guests

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Customers interested in me providing services for them, should know that I am very reasonable and easy to work with! My motto....."TEAMWORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK"! I'm not trying to get rich on overcharging people, instead I'm trying to make connections and provide a great service experience so my customers will think of me again their next event which I do offer a discounted rate if booked again. I am a professional, I love what I do. I bring fun, positive energy, happiness and great service to the table when I work.👍😁
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
My typical process would be me introducing myself, advising the customer to read my profile to get a better feel for me and the energy I am projecting. I also like to speak to the customer regarding the event to discuss any special requests, ideas, suggestions or even concerns. Lastly, I advised the customer that I do require a deposit to lock their event date and time in. I leave it up to the customer, whether they want to make payments or pay in full when I arrive before the event starts. I like to give my customers a little wiggle room because I know they have a lot are their plate in the course of their planning. I want to make my part of the process as easy and smooth as possible!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am RAMP Certified by the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board.
