If you are looking for a professional yet personable, experienced bartender, look no further. I booked B. for my husband's surprise 50th birthday just based off reviews (side note without every talking to one other but pure coincidence that my best friend's husband had booked Sneaky Concoctions for my bestie birthday party because he read her reviews as well. We had both booked her when researching bartenders. I'm just saying) and when I tell you she didn't disappoint. She more than exceeded my expectations. From day one she was responsive and intentional on making sure that we had the best experience. She worked with my budget and offered recommendations to accommodate the least to the most mature palate. B. made me feel comfortable and welcomed any questions or concerns. She didn't miss any detail and made sure not just the honoree was happy but the guest as well. Thank you Sneaky Concoctions for helping us celebrate my husband's big day. I want hesitate to recommend your services or book you for my next event.

Barbara has won me over!! She was so approachable and friendly, and honestly, she just naturally became part of the party. Guests felt comfortable, the energy stayed fun, and drinks were gteat and were flowing all night with a great attitude.
She handled everything like a pro while keeping the vibe relaxed and upbeat. If you want someone who’s personable, easy to work with, and really adds to your event, I’d definitely recommend her.

We couldn’t have asked for a better bartender for our holiday party. She was extremely responsive, flexible, and incredibly helpful throughout the planning process, which made everything so easy and stress-free. On the night of the event, she brought amazing energy, kept things running smoothly, and made fantastic drinks that our guests loved. We received so many compliments! I would highly recommend her and would absolutely hire her again.

This bartender was wonderful!
She was very friendly, understood my needs and provided exceptional service when when it got a little hectic.
She ensured we had refreshing drinks, made with fresh fruit. The drinks were absolutely on point. Strawberry Hennessey, Lemon drops and Tequila Sunrises were PERFECT! Matter of fact that was the best Sunrise Ive ever had. She was very attentive, professional, and came ontime fully prepared!
If I had to describe the service it would be said that D was attentive, proactively, drinks were delicious, fresh, and I am hoping to hire her again!
I mean the service was beyond what I could expect.
Before I forget this was a last minute design to have a bartender at our wedding. The communication was great. You did a great job! Thank you for being apart of our special day.

The drinks were well-made and delicious, and they were always attentive to our needs. They went above and beyond by proactively offering us refills and making sure we always had something to drink. We had a great experience thanks to their excellent service!".
