We had a great experience hiring Bucky’s for our party. Kristine was quick to respond to make all of the arrangements, and Elizabeth was a great bartender!

Eric was professional, competent and great with our guests and grandchildren. I’ve never hired a bartender before, so finding that the experience was so easy and successful, I’d go back to Bucky’s in a minute for my next party.

Loved their web portal for tracking communications, contract, and payment details. Super easy and kept me organized for wedding planning. Their experience with different venues helped us make a plan that came together perfectly. Super cool bartenders...our guests are still raving!

Zest in Class bartended at our wedding. We provided all the drinks and they handled the rest. Their bartending team Tana and Samantha were both amazing. Kristine, was very communicative and easy to work with. We only had one hiccup through the whole process (this is bound to happen) and Kristine took care of it before we even knew it happen. Book them for your event!
