Josh was so professional and competent. Crowd pleaser. Already booked for the next gig… 🍸
Josh was fantastic! Punctual, friendly, efficient and had great chat. Made our hen day even more of a great experience!!! Thank you very much!
Absolutely first class service from the initial contact through to the day itself. Josh is a true professional and ensured on the day all my guests were happy. Josh made my daughters birthday party one to remember and we all had such a fantastic day. Would certainly book The Swordmaker again and highly recommend to others.
Amazing, from start to finish he was a star,,,, even judges the hen do games 😂 will definitely book again,,,
We booked Josh for our wedding reception and he went down an absolute storm. It was the perfect way to get the party going and we all really enjoyed learning how to make the cocktails, and of course drinking plenty ourselves. We would absolutely recommend Josh for any kind of event! Keep up the cracking work.
Josh and his team gave us a professional service for our Daughter’s 18th Birthday , can’t thank him enough for the advice in the run up to the event and everyone enjoyed the great cocktails and service, nothing was an issue and was easy to deal with throughout , thanks again!
Josh made our friends 60th Birthday a truly amazing time with his first out of lockdown event. Cocktails were tailored to our theme and tasted amazing. Great entertainment and service given from Josh. Can’t thank you enough. Would not hesitate to book him for future events. Thank you
Amazing service and delicious cocktails! Very good value for money. Josh was patient with our very large (and constantly changing) group order, and delivered all the cocktails punctually with beautiful presentation to make for a lovely zoom social! Would definitely order again and recommend to anyone looking for some incredible cocktails at home. 10/10, thanks Josh!
Amazing service, fantastic cocktails! We have used this company twice now and would highly recommend.
"Josh held a private party for us and it was amazing, he kept everyone’s drinks flowing and it gave a really good vibe to the night.
His cocktail making is second to none, good variety and made it a good night overall."
In August 2018 we had The Swordmaker at our wedding celebration garden party. It was great theatre and guests loved Josh's cocktails. Sarah & Max
