What Our Clients Says

★★★★★

We hired Chris for my wife's surprise 50th birthday party and couldn't be happier with the services provided. Professional, creative, and he made the night absolutely perfect. Our friends are still talking about those custom cocktails!


Private Party Client

Had the best time working with Chris on bartending our wedding event! He was extremely helpful with putting together the menu, completely responsive to all of our inquiries, & was the first to respond to us on the Thumbtack site. He is courteous, respectful, fun, and eager to assist us with anything we needed. His demeanor just puts you at ease that you don't have to worry at all about the bartending at your event.


Real Wedding Client

Spectacular service for our annual URTeC after party with 500+ attendees. Christopher was super responsive, created a curated drink menu perfect for our energy industry crowd, and handled constant lines without any issues. The bourbon selection was particularly impressive. Highly recommend!
