I hired District Talent LLC to bartend at my one-year old’s birthday party, and Malinda was PHENOMENAL! She made the event stress-free by anticipating me & my guests needs and keeping us refreshed and energized with various drink options, including curated cocktails just for my event. Her professionalism was top-notch. Highly recommend her for your next event.

We loved having Malinda as our bartender for our 50th birthday celebration. She showed up early, prepped for the night, made drinks exactly as desired, and assisted with the clean up. Our friends have asked that she return for our upcoming murder mystery!

Malinda was exceptionally professional and was able to keep the drinks flowing at our wedding. I was a stressed bride who only had a few minutes to text my signature drink 2 days before the wedding. Still Malinda was able to get our signature drink sign made in time, provide all the garnsihes, and provided ample ice for all our drinks. I highly recommend her!

The team at District Talent was absolutely fantastic to work with! From start to finish, Malinda was incredibly communicative, organized, and attentive, which made the entire planning process smooth and stress-free. On the night of the event, the bartenders were professional, friendly, and brought amazing energy to the room. They kept everything running seamlessly while also creating a fun, welcoming atmosphere for our guests. We truly couldn’t have asked for better service!
