We had bartender Rhonda for my sisters quinceañera event! She was incredible! She made delicious drinks and was very attentive of our guests. Our guests were thrilled with her services.

Thanks so much for the review! It was a pleasure working with you!
My cousin had a baby shower and our bartender was Rhonda, man this lady was such a gem, such a humble person, very attentive and stuck to her rules she was given. I would recommend her to any special occasion you have, she made it seem like you knew her for years! Great bar tender

Thanks so much for the review Angela! It was a blast working with you through every step of the event!
Great service, thank you! Everyone was happy
The Master of Mixology team was great from the beginning to the end and I would use them again.

We have used Masters of Mixology multiple times for private functions at our house over the past few years (outdoor parties ~ 80 people) and have had a great experience each time. This Pam and Jason were our bartenders and they did a fantastic job making drinks and engaging with our guests. They acted professionally and organized/cleaned up the area before they left. Aside from the usual, our drink menu included 6 unique themed drinks (we provided the recipes ahead of time so no surprises) - the presentation and taste were exceptional as per the guest comments. The party went longer than expected so we were able to extend the time without a problem. We would highly recommend and definitely plan to use Gus and team of bartenders in the future.

Day-of wedding coordinator here! While I wasn’t the person who officially hired Masters of Mixology, SO happy & grateful they were the bartenders of the night for the reception! Kevin and Morgan were fabulous to work with, and I cannot thank them enough for all they did. Personable, easy to communicate with, and absolutely hilarious, every guest they served left with a full glass and smile — a number of people came up to me just to compliment the bartenders! The duo truly went above & beyond, from set up all the way to extra clean up at the end — their generosity and joyfulness to help with whatever they could did not go unnoticed. With so many moving pieces throughout the night, Kevin & Morgan’s top-tier professionalism, reliability, and efficiency was much appreciated, as I knew anything bar-related was safe in their hands & one less thing for me to stress over. Thank you, gentleman (and the whole Masters of Mixology team behind-the-scenes) for a 10/10 wedding! Will definitely be hiring them if I ever need a bartending service in the near future!

This was the first time I have used the Masters of Mixology and it was wonderful to use their great services. I was out of state for a two day event so could not be at the event I sponsored, but they did everything in my absence that I asked. I will be using them again!!!

Thanks so much for the review Mary! It was a pleasure working with you on these events and we can’t wait for the next one!
Everything went fine. The two ladies showed up on time and set up the bar they wanted it. They were polite and professional with all of my guests. They cleaned up after the party and were on their way.

Thanks for the great review Tim! We had a blast working with you
They were very prompt and helpful pre event with regard to planning. The two bartenders who showed up to the event mentioned first that they don’t do cocktails, even though that the Gig Salad team was notified of the cocktails and in fact they were very helpful with the planning. Probably some type of miscommunication. But once they were provided with the recipes for the two drinks that we initially planned, they did their job well and our guests were pleased with the service. So, thank you so much for your service.
Blessings,
Dee

I hosted an event at my home for around 30 people and had the Masters provide a selection of themed cocktails. From the start there was clear communications on what the Masters would do and the costs involved. There was a bit of tweaking along the way which were easily accommodated. The event itself went really well and my guests were very impressed with the cocktails and the engaging service. Thanks for making it a success Gus, Kevin and Luis! ;-)

Thanks for the great review Bree! We had a blast working with you and are thrilled that you loved Dottie’s service!
Looking forward to the next party!
The Masters of Mixology is by far the best bartending service I have ever had at an event!!! They came out to my company's family picnic yesterday at an offsite location. Gus delivered the gorgeous fold-up bar and he even DELIVERED THE ALCOHOL AND SODAS!!! We literally had to do nothing. The two bartenders, Rose and Keena, were the life of the party and everyone (including myself) loved them. Their drinks were spectacular across the board and their level of professionalism was unmatched. I really don't ever write reviews, but this one had to be shared. I would recommend this company to anyone having any sort of event, large or small. Thank you to the Masters of Mixology for making our event such a huge success!!

Thanks so much for the amazing review Ian! It was a pleasure working with you
We hosted a Texas Hold'em tournament for about 20 to 25 people. Gus was great, he is friendly and made great drinks. While we were playing the tournament, Gus walked around filling our drinks. A professional bartender, we will be using Gus again for future events.

Thanks for the review Diana! I had a great time with you and your guests, and can’t wait for the next poker night!
Leading up to the event, our bartender was extremely professional and clear with communicating the best way to run the bar in terms of supplies and ingredients at our celebration. Developing special signature cocktails based on alcohol preferences for the evening was also greatly appreciated. Our bartender arrived on time and immediately jumped right in to offer help - not just with the bar, but was kind in extending assistance if we needed it before and during the party. He was extremely kind and friendly while making delicious beverage creations throughout the night, which were a huge hit with our guests. We would absolutely recommend The Masters of Mixology, and will hire them again in the future!

Thank you so much for the great review! We had a blast working with you
Words cannot express how awesome Pam and Kevin are. They arrived and got right to work. Each of them were so helpful. This was my first time coordinating an event for the company and to say the least I was a bit overwhelmed. Once Pam and Kevin arrived I felt the weight lift off my shoulders. I advised them that the Owner/CEO and CTO were extremely impressed with there service. I will definitely be calling back for Pam and Kevin to assist us with future company events.

Thank you for the great review Peri! We had a blast working with you and are here whenever you need us.
Available on short notice for big party, crew of 2 were super helpful and friendly. Great to have them to make the event run smoothly!
Waitstaff
We booked the Masters of Mixology to help bartend at our non-profit's Oktoberfest event. Rose was a joy to work with. She arrived early and was hands-on with setup from the beginning. We had her helping out another bartender from a local brewery and they did a fantastic job. We'd love to work with Rose again!
Bartender
This company and the staff were extremely helpful and very professional. They made everything easy and my guests are all still talking about the professionalism exhibited. Thank you for a great and memorable evening, I will definitely use this company again!
Waitstaff, Bartender
Gus and team were awesome! They arrived early to setup and for things organized. They made fantastic drinks and sure everyone was taken care of during the event. They cleaned up after their time was over. All the guests were complimentary of the bartenders. I'd definitely recommend Masters of Mixology!

Thanks so much for the review Allan! We had a blast making those old fashioneds for your guests!
I used this company for a large event in our hotel because we had lots of call outs
Gus provided us with 6 bar tenders in a matter of couple hours with great products and equipments
Bartender
I can't say enough wonderful things about Gus! Hiring him was the best decision I made for my event. He set up an excellent bar, kept the specialty cocktails and lots of custom drinks flowing, and took such great care of my guests. Everyone loved him! He really connected with everyone at the party and provided really excellent service. I was sad when it was time for him to leave--he really went above and beyond in the setup and cleaning too. He was incredibly responsive from the minute I submitted the request, worked to help me pick a specialty drink, and arrived early and took charge of the bar. I would definitely book him for another event.
