Booked for Birthday party

Had a fantastic experience for my 50th birthday with Cocktail land! Roger was very good before the event with advice on cocktails and ingredients. Our barman for the evening was Cosmo, who arrived on time and was polite and courteous. After going thru the initial set up of the bar he was ready to go as guests arrived, and was utterly brilliant all night! He never stopped working, was fun and engaging and everyone was well lubricated and very happy! Highly recommend

Booked for Birthday party

Sim and her team provided the bar service at my 60th Birthday party. From the beginning Sim was very professional, and assisted me with a drinks list, gave advice, provided regular prompts and suggestions. On the day they set up a bar quickly and efficiently, which created an authentic bar atmosphere, which impressed my guests while they watched cocktails/mocktails being made. Sim added a personal touch by creating a signature cocktail for me and provided examples of cocktails, all of which complimented the theme of the party. Several guest mentioned how polite and accommodating they were, which made them feel at ease. At the end of the evening they cleaned up and packed away everything, leaving the space in order. Sim I would just like to thank you and your team for making my party such a success, you made it look so easy. I didn’t have to worry about anything on the day, which enabled me to mix with my guests and enjoy the occasion. This was the best decision I made and would definitely recommend you and your team as you provided value for money with 5 Star service! Thank you.

Booked for Private party

Mixin Sim provided top-notch bartender services for one of my events and she did not disappoint! She was friendly, communicative, responsive, reliable and a great professional. Her services were exceptional quality and value, and as a result we've asked her to work another event; we can confidently say we're repeat customers! The drinks were excellent and our guests were very satisfied.

We delivered next level parties for exceptional companies

We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.
