About
I am personable with customers; Its important that all guests enjoy the event, however, hydration is important to me and I have asked customers to drink water and/or non alcoholic beverages during the evening. I multi-task quite well while maintaining a calm friendly demeanor. I enjoy what I do and it shows; my reviews really attest to my personality and character. I am very engaging with all guests and enjoy meeting new people
I will be honored to be your bartender. I have years of experience, a professional friendly demeanor, and am very self sufficient; I can assist with alcohol amounts and drink ideas. My prices may vary depending on the additional items you may need me to provide i. e. table and cloth, cooler and/or large wash basin as well as specific times of your event. Please call me to discuss the details and I have you reserved on my calendar! Marie
I have an outgoing personality and enjoy meeting new people at all the events I bartend. I like what I do and it shows in my interactions with all guests.

Marie’s Bartending was amazing. She created beautiful drinks. And was very lovely and kind to work with. She was adaptable to last minute changes. I will say the Pineapple margaritas were a big hit!

Thank you so much. Raquel and I had a great evening and some conversations with guests. The Margaritas were a hit and the Cosmopolitans were also a favorite! I wish you both the best life has to offer!!!

Marie and her helper were great help pulling off our party. They helped set up and take down and were a big hit with our guests. We had a large gathering of 80 and served food and open bar to all. We didn't have to worry about a thing. Thanks Marie!

Marie bartended my daughter’s wedding this past weekend. She and her helper did such an amazing job! They showed up, set up, had everything ready and I never had to think twice. It was such a relief!! I have to say I was nervous about the complexity of our drinks. In addition to beer and wine, we wanted Italian sodas and dirty sodas. She made suggestions to elevate the drinks and pulled it off! Our guests absolutely loved them and I had many people coming up to complement the bartenders and the drinks! Thank you Marie!!

We hired Marie to bartend for our wedding and it was the best decision ever! She was so attentive to my husband and I and kept offering to refill our drinks. She was so professional and friendly! She was very helpful in calculating how much alcohol we needed to buy and brought all of her own equipment. She also set up and broke down her station which was so helpful! I cannot recommend her services enough!!
