Didn't think you could afford a personal, professional bartender? I am here to disprove that notion. ServeSafe/Alcohol certified. And Having been in this industry for 30+years, I am well aware of the "mark up" on professional services. I started my mobile service for this very reason. It is affordable and YES! YOU can absolutely have an awesome addition to any function! We take care of you and your guests, as if you were MY very own guests in our own home! Do you know that you can hire your OWN bartender for your event? Do you know that most venues allow you to supply your own professional bartender? Do you know its very affordable and most times CHEAPER than the prices you see at venues? Do you know you can purchase your own alcohol and not be charged "per guest, per head"?

Because then, you will have “one less thing to worry about”! 🙃 Our services are affordable and top notch! You CAN hire a bartending service, WITHOUT breaking the bank!

Susan was our bartender for our wedding and she did amazing! She was responsive to all of the planning emails ahead of time and gave me advice on how much alcohol to purchase based on guest count. She did a phenomenal job the day-of too, many of our guests commented on how great she was and that she remembered their orders throughout the night. 10/10!

We had the absolute pleasure of having Susan from Tipsy Bar Service our outdoor birthday celebration, and I can’t say enough great things! Despite the summer heat, they brought amazing energy, professionalism, and skill that truly made the event extra special. The drinks were perfectly crafted, refreshing, and a huge hit with all of our guests. From setup to last call, everything ran smoothly thanks to their organization and positive attitude. It’s not easy to keep the good vibes flowing in high temperatures, but they did it effortlessly. Thank you for going above and beyond to help make the day so memorable—you’ll definitely be our go-to for future events!
She and her team showed up early and got straight to work. They required no hand-holding or additional explanation. They were engaged with the party and the guests. They moved people through the line quickly. They even helped us clean up and organize all remaining items at the end of the party. A very high quality, professional, and friendly service. I highly recommend her and her team and I will certainly be a repeat customer.

Tipsy’s Bar Services is an absolute gem! Susan and Jess were wonderful and so kind. They were also really fun and two truly lovely people. This was my first time hiring a bar tending service and let me tell you, Susan made sure the process went smoothly and without any hiccups. All I needed to provide was the alcohol, sodas, and ice. They take care of the rest. It was reassuring to know that Susan and Jess had everything under control! My husband’s surprise 40th bday party went off without a hitch. Thank you so much for everything!

Your services MADE this event. Everything was top notch, response time when we were coordinating back and forth, your punctuality with arriving way before the party started to get set up. And what a beautiful setup you had! All my guests raved about your smoked bourbon cocktails. Thank you so much Mrs. Susan for helping make this 40th birthday a blast!!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
~Event pricing, starting at $500 for a 4-hr function, with approximately 15 guests. 75+ guests for 4 hours, $600 (bar additional)~prices subject to reflect: location/mileage, travel time, set up time, break down time, clean up time, the type of event, the amount of people to be served, the length of the event, and the number of bartenders needed to effectively and efficiently service the event.

We Do Not provide or sell alcohol. We serve it! I always tell my clients, “ you provide the venue, the alcohol and the ice. We got the rest”!
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to start communicating right away, either thru texting on the Thumbtack app or ******************. If you would rather have a ************************* first and discuss the details, that’s just as fine too! I’m flexible! Once you decide you want to “book” with us, let me know!..then I’ll get a contract over to you to get your event booked! Easy as Apple Pie 🥧!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been tending bar for over 20 years. So, in 2003, I decided to make it official and complete a 60 hour course at the American Bartender's Institute, and the rest is s history. In 2004, I had the opportunity to receive training at the Virginia Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control for the RSVP course, Responsible Seller's and Server's Program, In which I also completed. In conclusion, in 2007 I attended ABC's Retail 101 and became a member of the Wholesale/ Retail Team. I’d found my passion.
