Booked for Celebration

Mike, Alfonso and Brianna were amazing. We had about 75 guests and the bar was one of the highlights thanks to this team. The guests loved them so much everyone was talking about them the next day. I was able to arrange everything via email from Canada and Mike was so patient with all my questions and back and forth emails. They arrived on time, cleaned up and our guests love loved them. They are professional, polite, engaging and I would 💯 recommend this company. Having that extra staff to top up food trays and give an extra hands with drink prep was very helpful.

It all went very well. Glasses dropped off the day before and picked up the day after, and Alex, the mixologist was great, excellent cocktails and really friendly and great to have at the party. Made the event very special!
