Booked for Birthday party

We had a wonderful experience! Warren was great & made phenomenal cocktails! I really easy booking experience & a made the event that much more special!

Aisha Furtado11 Nov 2024

Booked for Birthday party

We cant recommend Tom enough - from the minute we booked, throughout the build/up and then the event itself, Tom was unreal. A complete star. Not only did he think about the experience for our guests but was also keen to keep the event as affordable as possible for us. His bar was lovely and he was super tidy and organised. Cocktails were absolutely delicious of course too! Our event itself was made extra special because of Tom - thank you once again!

Abigail Eastman9 Jun 2023

Booked for Wedding

Mike and his team did a great job making cocktails for our guests, they were really friendly and happy to help. Mike gave us some great recipe recommendations and let us know exactly what we needed to buy for each cocktail. Good communication before and during the event. Thank you Mike!

Senara Fielding-Reis10 Jul 2022

Booked for Corporate Function

The site was a little confusing to use and not so easy to find the right person / company for the event. Only once booking someone and talking to them it ended up being that we needed to pay a lot more money to get close to what we needed

Michael Tilley30 Aug 2020

Booked for Birthday party

We had two JLS bartenders for a small family party - they were ace, very helpful, punctual, friendly. Couldn’t have asked for more.

Abul Noor30 Aug 2020

Party Showcase — Cocktails Made Personal for Stunning Private Party

What we loved about this event

Talk about a party upgrade! Mike and Yohann provided an incredible, professional cocktail bar service right at a private party. The experience was called "nothing short of exceptional," as they arrived early and showed true professionalism. Beyond crafting outstanding, custom cocktails, their "creativity, energy, and attention to detail truly elevated the entire event." They brought a fun, vibrant atmosphere, and as the client said, "These guys are the real deal. Highly, highly recommend!"

What client said

“

Wow – what an incredible experience! Mike and Yohann were nothing short of exceptional. They arrived well before the scheduled time to get everything set up, which was super impressive and showed true professionalism from the start. Not only did they prepare the cocktails we had previously discussed, but they also went above and beyond to create an unforgettable experience for our guests. Their creativity, energy, and attention to detail truly elevated the entire event. The quality of the cocktails was outstanding – every drink was crafted to perfection. But more than that, they brought such a fun and vibrant atmosphere that made the party even more special. If you're thinking about hiring bartenders for your event – don't think twice. These guys are the real deal. Highly, highly recommend!
