Booked for Birthday party

Really lovely service- made some fabulous drinks which were delicious. Helped me to decide on the menu and loved the menu provided on the day. Thanks again!

Booked for Birthday party

Fantastic service, Carlos was brilliant and made delicious cocktails. He didn’t stop the whole time he was there, definitely worth the money spent! My only piece of feedback would be the overestimation on the shopping list, in particular garnishes that weren’t used, other than that the whole experience was brilliant & I would definitely recommend, thank you again :)

Booked for Birthday party

Could not recommend adapt events more!! Zibusiso and his team were amazing, they were great sports all day and really added to the atmosphere of the party! I’ve received so many compliments about them, everyone loved having them and the cocktails were amazing! Customer service was incredible and just could not speak more highly of them. Thanks for making the day so amazing!!

Booked for Birthday party

1929 bartenders added a fantastic dimension to my birthday party! My guests loved having cocktails made for them and it saved me a lot of work. The team were professional and friendly. They brought glasses, straws and lots of ice (the ice was booked as an optional extra but Angel brought extra along at no extra charge due to the high temperatures that day). Angel called me once the online booking was confirmed and talked me through the process. All email communication thereafter was rapid and helpful. I would recommend Angel and his team and I do think they provide excellent value for money and would definitely book them again if we have an occasion that requires their services. The only criticism I would have, is that the shopping list of spirits was far in excess of what we needed or used. We had over half left, so if in doubt, check in (which is what I should have done). Thank you Angel and team for your excellent and friendly service, you absolutely made our party!

Frequently asked questions

What is the price for hiring a cocktail bartender for a party in Essex?

You can find a cocktail bartender in Essex for £112 per party, but this price is only approximate. It’s better to calculate the cost when you know all of the event details, such as the duration and the number of guests. For example, when you submit this information on Poptop, you can see instant exact prices.

Who provides the cocktail-making equipment?

It’s highly unlikely that most people will already have all of the necessary equipment at home, so our bartenders will bring everything they need to prepare delicious drinks. You’ll have no worries, the shakers and the other bits of equipment are on us!
