Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: First time Thumbtacker, long time bartender with over 20 years experience. My passion for bartending has taught me that there is no limit to how fun a party can be when drinks are involved. I create an easy schedule with flexible hours for the “I’ve got an early morning” party guests and the “night owls” tearing it up on the dance floor at 2 A.M. My goal as a bartender is to make sure I leave a lasting impact, not just with my talents but with my ability to be personable and connect with each person organically, even if it is just for a few minutes. My talents have afforded me two industry awards for excellence in my profession. The first award was in 2017. I received the VRLTA Ordinary Award for Bartender of The Year by the Virginia Restaurant Lodging and Travel Association and in 2020, I received a customer service award from Richmond Regional Tourism. I am fully vaccinated and can provide documentation. Added services and distances 30 miles beyond 23219 will incur additional charges.

Having Mary bartend for my wife’s 35th birthday was fantastic. She showed up exactly when she said she would to set up her bar and had things all set by party time. She was extremely friendly and personable, and can make an excellent cocktail as well! Even though we’d only hired her for two hours, we opted to pay her for an extra hour on top of it just to keep the cocktails flowing. We feel absolutely spoiled and hope to hire her for all our big parties in the future!
