Booked for Wedding

We had the pleasure of having Leon as our cocktail barman at our wedding, and he was absolutely brilliant! He was incredibly friendly, helpful and professional throughout, and really went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a fantastic time. The cocktails were a huge hit with our guests, and his great personality added to the atmosphere of the day. We would highly recommend him for any event — he was fantastic from start to finish. Thank you for helping make our wedding so special! 🍸🥂

Party Showcase — Brilliant Bartenders Rescue a Last-Minute Booking With Flawless Service

What we loved about this event

When a client needed professional bar staff at short notice, our vendor proved to be an "absolute pleasure to work with" by quickly stepping in to organise the details. The team was highly "communicative from the start," ensuring they understood the event perfectly before two friendly bartenders arrived right on time and ready to work. The staff demonstrated the vendor's fast and efficient approach by immediately tackling the garnish prep and arranging the bespoke bar area before guests even walked through the door. They kept the drinks flowing across the entire evening, making sure attendees always had a beverage in hand while also handling the ongoing cleanup. By delivering such a helpful and vibrant experience, the bar team effortlessly "helped make our party a complete success!"

What client said

“

Staff Unique Limited was an absolute pleasure to work with. We booked last minute and Rachael was very communicative from the start! Once booked, Rachael called to make sure she had all of the details of our event so the proper staffing could be made. On the day, two lovely young ladies, Mykah and Ayesha, arrived on time and ready to get to work! They helped with garnish prep before the guests arrived and set up of the bar area. They made sure guests all had beverages throughout the evening and even helped with cleanup all night. I highly recommend Staff Unique Limited and particularly Mykah and Ayesha. They helped make our party a complete success!
