Hired on Thumbtack

Shantel Leslie was a pleasure to work with, and she gave us peace of mind at our wedding event. It was a relief to have her on staff at my wedding! She is easygoing, pleasant, fun, and upbeat. She adds a personal touch to her work and never acts as if she is just trying to fill time until her shift is done. It is obvious that she enjoys her work, respects her clients, and appreciates people. Plus - you can't beat her price!

The four star rating is only because of the timing of her arrival. Circumstances beyond her control prevented her from arriving at the time we had initially requested, but she was extremely apologetic and made every effort to help us out once she arrived. Our guests were very pleased with her service and professional demeanor.

Shantel Leslie is an excellent bartender, and we would hire her again. You do not need to spend hundreds of dollars on a bar service when you can hire a hardworking individual who gets the job done just as well for less money.

Thank you, Shantel!

Shantel has worked for my company on several occasions, from private investor parties to family catered birthday parties. She is a professional people person and a delight to work with. She works well with other staff and I receive nothing but compliments on her creative drinks from customers. She has been specifically requested as bartender from repeat clients so she is a definite asset to the company.
