It was a pleasure to have Jeremy bartend my mom’s 60th birthday party! Up to the event, Jeremy was easy to communicate with and very informative of the services he has to offer. Jeremy was very professional, but also easy going. He set up and broke down his bar fast and efficiently. We asked Jeremy to stay an extra hour since everyone was having a blast, he had no hesitation of saying no (with compensation of course) and we really appreciated that. No complaints here, we’d love to have Jeremy bartend another event in the future!
We had a wonderful experience with Jeremy from Behind Bars Mixology. He was responsive, patient and professional. We hosted an in house party with 50-60 people and Jeremy made the whole process seamless! Our guests loved the signature cocktails! Thanks so much Jeremy!

Jeremy was absolutely amazing bartending my engagement party. Professional, quick response to texts, everyone loved the drinks & just overall a great bartender. I would advise everyone to look at Jeremy first for their private bartender hire - he’s one of the best in New England

Jeremy served as the bartender for my brother & I’s graduation celebration, and he was absolutely AMAZING. From his responsiveness, punctuality, organization, and presentation of drinks, to the specialty cocktails he crafted and his overall professionalism—he truly left his mark! For context, we had over 150 people attend, and Jeremy handled the bar all by himself, fulfilling guests’ requests in a timely and efficient manner. Throughout the event, guests couldn’t stop commenting on how good he was. To put it simply, he was the perfect and essential touch to a great celebration. We are so happy that he served as our bartender and highly encourage those looking for a bartender for any occasion to work with Behind Bars Mixology!!!
