Dot was awesome. On time, pleasant, good with customers. I highly recommend her. She put up with the chaos of our event b/c I should have had two bartenders. Never complained once! Love you Dot!

Working with Dot was an amazing bartender. She worked my wedding. She was cool enough to deal with my madness of the day and showing up with the booze 10 minutes before go/time. She fancies herself a "mixologist", however, the cocktails she was pouring were pure magic. We will call her the "mystical maven of mixological magics". She made the best martini I have ever had. For that alone, I would hire her again. Beyond her mystical mixological talents, she was very personable and friendly. In short, if a trait is needed to do this job, Dot has it in excess. AMaZINg!!

Ms. Dot responded so quickly to my request for a bartender and she had the most reasonable prices! Once time for the event came she made strong drinks that the guests loved. She was such a fun bartender who (I hope) also enjoyed herself at my event. I had multiple guests comment at how much they "loved Ms.Dot!"
Definitely a fan favorite!

Dot was an excellent Bartender. She was great in making sure she had all the details over a week before the event and even called to make sure that the event was still taking places a few days prior. She is very professional and most importantly arrived on time to make sure she had proper set. A definite recommend!

Dot is THE best bartender we have ever had for our personal events. She serviced about 75 people in our home. She was extremely professional and has a dynamic personality! The guests all loved her! Thanks Dot for an amazing job well done!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing is not a one size fit all. I try to reasonable price my services to accomodate groups of 25 to larger groups of more than 300.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I prefer to listen their needs and assist in making professional suggestions based upon those needs.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I received my training as a mixologist at the Nashville Professional Bartending School. I have a server permit for Tennessee and Kentucky.
