Booked for Birthday party

Fantastic experience - Rares and Nick were FABULOUS hosts. Got stuck in with anything and everything to help put me at ease and make the event run smoothly. They made DELICIOUS cocktails, were very communicative in the lead up, and no problem was too much or unsolvable. Gorgeous human beings, lovely to have around and a complete, raging success. Love to the guys, THANK YOU for making the night so special. Would recommend them in a heartbeat xx

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!
