Jasmyne was so helpful, from set up beforehand, keeping food and drinks stocked, and picking up during our party. While she is professional, she is also very personable and we, along with our guests, had great interaction with her. Highly recommend Absolute Ladies and Gentlemen!
Our bartender Lance did an excellent job. He was on time. He was friendly and helpful. Everyone liked him. The margaritas, sangria, and lemon drops were good. I would definitely hire him again. This was my first hiring a bartender and he made it a great experience.
Response from Absolute Ladies and Gentlemen:
We appreciate the excellent review! I will be sure to share it with Lance. Thank you for choosing ALG for your party!
Professional arrived on time and very helpful. I would highly recommend Absolute Ladies and Gentlemen for bartender in any event
Response from Absolute Ladies and Gentlemen:
Thank you, Ms. Cindy, for the great review. It was a pleasure working your event.
Don't look any further, ALG was everything I was looking for my reception.
First Jasmine was always in contact, helped me through narrowing down what drink options, shopping list, and even recommendations when I didn't know what to get.
Lance was our bartender, and let me tell you, he was a vibe! Super friendly, kept the drinks flowing, and the guests were referring to him by name when they were wanting to go back to the bar.
I will be looking to use them again for any future events! Thank you ALG!
Hired them with short notice for our wedding and jasmyne worked with us and helped us out. Great price and amazing service. Super fun and friendly and kept everybody coming back for signature drinks. highly recommend
Cannot imagine having a better more professional staff. They were amazing, fun and did such a great job!
I hired Absolute Ladies & Gentlemen for my husband’s birthday party. Jasmyne was so easy to work with. She answered all my questions promptly, helped me craft a signature drink menu, and provided recommendations for quantity of the various items on my liquor store shopping list. Our bartender on the night of the event, Kayla, was on time (beat us to the venue), extremely professional, made delicious - and pretty - drinks, and helped us clean up and pack away all the liquor at the end of the night. It was so nice to not have to think about anything related to the bar and our guests were kept hydrated and happy. I would not think twice about hiring them again for another event!
This was my first time hiring a bartender, so I did not know what to expect. What a pleasant surprise! Jasmyne made sure that we discussed pre-party planning, and her presence added joy to my 25 person birthday party, Jasmyne impressed all my guests, and even helped to make one of my Spanish speaking guests feel more comfortable. Every party would be better with Jasmyne. Loved her. I hope our party paths cross again.
Response from Absolute Ladies and Gentlemen:
Good Morning Sang,
Thank you so much for a lovely review. I am so glad to have met you and your friends. This party was a lovely way to start my business year.
Amazing experience! Thank you
Response from Absolute Ladies and Gentlemen:
Thanks you!! See you next year
Absolutely wonderful service and experience. Professional yet personable. Would book again and recommend.
Response from Absolute Ladies and Gentlemen:
Thank you, Carla for the great review. I do appreciate it!
Jazzy was such a delight to work with. She helped me plan a drink menu, gave me a list of what I needed & delighted my guests all evening long.
Hired for an eightieth birthday yard party we were totally satisfied. Would definitely engage them again.
Jasmyne was so helpful when planning my drinks menu for my 30th birthday party. She helped me pick 3 signature cocktails and gave me a shopping list for all my bar needs. Isela was my bartender for the evening, and she was great! My guests loved her and she poured strong drinks.
Wonderful experience.
Did a very nice job, would definitely use again for our next party!! :)
Jasmine and her team were wonderful and played a key part in making our event a success. They arrived extra early on-site to review logistics and help prep. They all worked very hard throughout the event to keep our guests happy, make great drinks and ensure food was replenished. Were super helpful with cleanup. Thank you and will definitely be using again in the future.
I worked with Jasmyne up until the week of our event and then we were assigned Isela for the day of. We were hosting our wedding in our backyard so I made sure to tell them my needs for the day of. Jasmyne was great and very helpful getting our signature drinks and purchase quantities finalized. I spoke with Isela the day before, to make sure we were on the same page, which at that time she instructed me to not set anything up for the bar. She wanted to do it when she got there so she knew where everything was. She arrived on time for our event, but I just don’t think it was enough time for her to set up. She could have benefited with having an extra person there at least in the beginning. She seemed very flustered at first and we even ended up having to cut lemons and limes for her. We had a keg, which she was telling people the wrong beer at first. This was our fault, but we didn’t realize until about 30 min in that she didn’t even have some of the stuff for our signature drinks. It felt like she didn’t get to know our menu ahead of time. She was so rushed she didn’t have a chance to talk to us before hand about anything. She also was using the wrong glasses at first for everything, which again, could have been solved if we had a chance to go over the bar with her. There was a huge line at first, too, which is partly due to people coming at the same time, but also partly due to her not being set up in time. Eventually things settled down and the rest of the night went fine. We had a lot of people tell us their drinks were really strong. In my mind there’s a difference between a well made drink that is balanced and a drink that has the ingredients but isn’t made with the effort. She also didn’t have any measuring tools and was pouring everything by hand. We also had a miscommunication about timing. I added an extra hour because I didn’t want their set up to interfere with our ceremony. However, the extra hour wasn’t added the time was just shifted up an hour. Therefore, she was trying to leave before our party was over. I explained the situation and she did end up staying, but it was somewhat frustrating. Overall it was fine and I’m glad we had bar service. I wish we would of had Jasmyne the day of because she was who I had been in communication with about all the details.
This is my second time using Absolute Ladies and Gentlemen. Once again, I can't recommend them enough. Great service per usual.
Our bartenders did a great job!! Great service and contributed to the vibe by showing they were having a good time. Highly recommend!!
It was great working with Absolute Ladies and Gentlemen. They ensured that I had a quality event and they performed all the tasks as needed. I was able to have a great time and not worry about the level of service being provided. They arrived early and were ready to perform the needed services. I would definitely hire again.
Lance was a fabulous bartender, he cam early to set up and by the end of the evening had everyone’s drinks memorized. He even made some special drinks for people when they weren’t sure what they wanted. Highly recommend.
Let's say it straight out...Jazmin was amazing! We had an intimate family graduation celebration of about 30 relatives for my daughter and wanted to make it special with white table clothes and a bartender under our willow tree. Luckily I found Jazmin and Absolute Ladies and Gentlemen through Gigsalad! Jazmin helped me define an awesome drink menu (including the very fancy Elderflower Collins and Bee's Knees requested by my sister in laws!) and she helped me create my shopping list and held my hand through the whole thing since I had never hired a bartender! Her drinks and service were first class!! But the very best part is her personality. She is warm, talented and funny. My whole family loved her and enjoyed lively conversations with her. By the time we were toasting my daughter, she was a part of the family!! I really am grateful for all she did to make the evening what it was. I highly highly recommend hiring Jazmin and her staff if you want to turn your evening into something really special.
Response from Absolute Ladies and Gentlemen:
Carole! That was the sweetest review. Thank you! Hugs to Lily and Grandma and the family.
Jazmin and her team helped us with the bartending for a wedding(almost a year ago) and they were amazing. She came up with a menu and designed it herself too. She worked with me so we could get the appropriate amount of alcohol for the party as well as the number of staff needed for the party.
They were very fun and added a great attitude to the party. All of our guests had great things to say about them as well. The only downside to the entire thing was that they left without finishing some of the cleaning at the end of the party and we had to take it out after the wedding. I am sure they would have taken care of it had we made aware of them beforehand.
Response from Absolute Ladies and Gentlemen:
Dear Bhupen Happy Anniversary and thank you for the review!
The service was absolutely amazing! The bartender and server helped with everything, including setting up the bar, food tables, dining table, and cleaned everything before they left. And where do I begin with the drinks...the bartender spoke with us a week prior to the event and we collectively created his & her drinks. She even brought pre-made mango jalapeno margaritas which were a huge hit! Everyone felt so comfortable and at ease. We couldn't have had such a smooth and effortless event without Absolute Ladies and Gentlemen!
Very professional, punctual, and personable. Truly made the event move seamlessly. Will definitely use Absolute Ladies & Gentlemen for our next event!
Jasmyne and Kiersten did a great job with coming prepared, providing amazing drinks, helping with serving and cleaning - and making our guests feel special. Highly recommend!
Response from Absolute Ladies and Gentlemen:
Dear Michael and Kristen
Thank you for letting me be a part of your birthday!
The party truly would not have been the same without Lance! Though he did arrived a tiny bit late, he still had everything set up and ready to go for our guests. When there weren't people at the bar for drinks, we were surprised to see Lance walking around the party and helping clean up.
By the end of the night- tons of people had already asked me for his info and how to hire him for their events. I would absolutely recommend going through Absolute for your bartender needs!
The staff provided excellent service to our guests.
Response from Absolute Ladies and Gentlemen:
Thank you, Ms. Mabel, it was a pleasure working with you again.
Definitely we will use them again.
Response from Absolute Ladies and Gentlemen:
Thank you Favian for the review! I posted pictures on Facebook and Instagram. We look forward to working with you again.
Lance and Joey were amazing, always going beyond their “job” as bartenders and checking in with everyone. Always a lovely experience to have them at our event! Thank you!
Jaz and Jessie did a great job for our home Christmas party of 60 guests. Jaz is an impressive bartender with a great attitude. I would definitely recommend her and use her again.
Response from Absolute Ladies and Gentlemen:
Don, you have an amazing bar! Thank you for having us! It was a pleasure.
Hannah and Lance we wonderful to work with. They were professional and adapted to all the quirks that we encountered with ease. I would definitely use Absolute Ladies and Gentlemen again! I highly recommend them.
Response from Absolute Ladies and Gentlemen:
Thank you so much Diane, for choosing ALG. It was a pleasure!
Jasmine and her team were amazing for our wedding. They were on top of everything and went above and beyond in exceeding our expectations. Do not look anywhere else.
Lance and Joey were major helpers!
Lance came to our backyard party to bartend and was a huge hit! He was so helpful and kind, all of our guests continued to comment on how much they loved him! Would absolutely have him come again :)
Sara was an absolute God send!!!! I just came home from the hospital (had my appendix out) and I truly thought that I was going to dread still having the party, but Sara made our party run so smoothly. I really do not know what we would have done without her. I will not host a party without her!!!!
Craig was absolutely amazing!!!! He is now a member of our family!!! He was very personable and professional. Everyone raved about him. He made the Best drinks!!! Love him and can’t wait to book our next event!!!!
Response from Absolute Ladies and Gentlemen:
Dear Felicia! Thanks for the awesome review. I am glad you had a great evening! Please consider ALG for your future events.
Sarah was a wonderful bartender for my mom's bachelorette party! Everyone loved having her there. She was very friendly and chatted with all our guests. Having a bartender was a great addition to our party. She even stayed after her time was up to be a guest and hang out for a little while. The communication leading up to the event was great too. I highly recommend Absolute Ladies and Gentlemen!
Jasmyn was very helpful. I was able to enjoy my party while she set up and cleaned.
We are so glad we went with Absolute Ladies and Gentlemen. Not only was Jasmyne on top of communication leading up to our party, but I can't say enough how wonderful Sara and Sama were as well. We felt supported and that Sara and Sama went above and beyond. If we ever need to hire for an event again, we won't think twice about reaching out to Absolute Ladies and Gentleman again with a special request for Sara and Sama.
Thanks so much for helping make our event a success.
For my brother's traditional wedding of 300 guests, everything had to be perfect. I was leery of this gigsalad app (first timer), but from the first response to my service request and first few seconds on the phone with Miss Jasmyne, I knew she was an industry expert that could be trusted to run all food-related activities for this wedding from start to finish. I'm a small time event planner who used to organize 10-12 events a year, for profit and for personal gatherings. I've dealt with all manner of caterers, servers, bartenders, etc, and I have to say, without hesitation, this group is the best I have ever seen. I did not know such decorum still existed. They outperformed my expectations in every category of hospitality. They showed up ready to work on everything related, and a few things unrelated, to the double-buffet. Several guests commented on the exceptional service they received. Any unexpected scenarios were handled with grace and charm, from both the manager and her team. To ensure a successful occasion, the food is key (both quality and presentation). We chose the quality caterer and received outstanding presentation from Absolute Ladies and Gentlemen. From the bottom of our hearts, Thank you! and looking forward to working with you again :-)
Response from Absolute Ladies and Gentlemen:
Dear Nneamaka, Thank you for such a kind review. It was a pleasure serving you and your family.
Blessings!
Jaz was amazing from start to finish. We can not recommend her highly enough. We hired her to serve drinks for my wife's 40th birthday party and she created a great drink menu, chatted with guests, and was extremely helpful throughout the evening. A must hire!!!
Response from Absolute Ladies and Gentlemen:
Thank you, Sam, for the kind words! It was a pleasure.
People always say that a wedding day will not be perfect, well it can be!!! Jasymn and her crew are absolutely phenomenal. Her entire crew brought a smile to our faces. They were energetic, efficient, and just overall wonderful. I could go on for paragraphs just to tell you how happy I am with them. You all made our wedding stress free and beautiful!! Seriously, I feel like I made some new friends after our special day. Thank You So So Very Much!!!
Last night we hosted a video/song release party for my husband. After looking at a number of other services I felt drawn to Absolute Ladies & Gentlemen, especially after communication with Jasmyne. Jasmyne & Lance provided everything I wanted regarding professionalism, but a fun, warm welcoming atmosphere for our guests who loved their service. They helped make our night a success! We look forward to working with them again! Thank You
Jaz was phenomenal! She arrived on time and was prepared to serve our guests. The custom drink menu, her knowledge of cocktails, and fun personality made the event a success! Thank you for being amazing!
Response from Absolute Ladies and Gentlemen:
Kiki- I had so much fun working your party. It felt like hanging out with my family. Thanks for having me.
They were easy to work with during planning and on the day of the event. They are a “must have” for our next party!
Response from Absolute Ladies and Gentlemen:
Ms. Mabel, It was a pleasure! We can't wait to see you again. Thanks for having us.
I could not imagine a better bartender to add life to your party. We were so happy and we will never use another bartender.
Response from Absolute Ladies and Gentlemen:
Kelli- Thank you for the excellent review. I look forward to our next event together.
Jaz
Had a great time. They were fun and made the party a great experience!
Response from Absolute Ladies and Gentlemen:
Thanks for the great evening! I look forward to working with you again.
So friendly and helpful at the party. Couldn't have done it without them.
Response from Absolute Ladies and Gentlemen:
Leah, It was a pleasure!
We absolutely loved having Lance in to bartend for our company party. He was friendly, professional. and went above and beyond our expectations for a bartender. We will definitely contact Absolute Ladies and Gentlemen the next time we have party.
Thank you so much for the amazing work at our holiday party! Lance and Joey made the event shine and we will absolutely be requesting them for any event we hold going forward.
Joe did great and very attentive to all our guests.
Response from Absolute Ladies and Gentlemen:
Good Morning Jimmy! I am so glad Joe gave you excellent service. We look forward to working with you again.
Efficient, friendly and hardworking.
Response from Absolute Ladies and Gentlemen:
Dear Tricia
Thank you so much for the valuable feedback! We appreciate it. I am so glad Sara gave you excellent service. We look forward to working with you in the future.
Jasmyne was a pleasure with booking and preparing for the event. Our server, Lance, was on time and did a great job helping us at our booth. Would definitely recommend!
Response from Absolute Ladies and Gentlemen:
Dear Matthew, Thank you for the excellent feedback! We look forward to working with you in the future.
Jasmyne and her team were amazing!!! When you think you have planned your event down to the last detail, you need to hire Absolute to really bring it home. They did everything we wanted and more. Having them allowed us to fully enjoy our party. We told them how and when we wanted the food rotations and they far exceeded our expectations. And the bar menu Jasmyne helped us create was loved be all our guests. I can’t even count the compliments we received throughout the evening, on how delicious her cocktails were!
Our reception was held at Trigger which is divided into three rooms, 5,000 square feet in all, and we had about 150 guests. The way they seamlessly attended to every detail was incredible. Multiple times throughout the evening I looked over at one thing or another, or thought of something I forgot to tell them, and it had all been taken care of, before I had even remembered or thought to ask. Jasmyne & Lance were behind the bar and engaged with every guest so wonderfully. Sara, Joey and Craig attended to every last detail of the kitchen, food buffet with three courses, and keeping the space clean and food stocked at all times.
If you are hosting an event, large or small, we highly recommend hiring Jasmyne and her team at Absolute Ladies & Gentleman!
Thank you Jasmyne & Team for being everything we hoped for and more!
JT & Charlie
Great experience with Jasmyne
The service that was provided was exceptional. I will be using them again for other events.
Response from Absolute Ladies and Gentlemen:
Hi Alixe! I had so much fun working your party. Thank you for having me.
This is the the first time I used GigSalad for bartender.
They were perfect.
Couldn’t have asked for better service.
Response from Absolute Ladies and Gentlemen:
Dear Anu, Thank you for the awesome review. We look forward to working with you again.
Love the staff and service. 2nd event using AL&G and we couldn't expect more.
Responsible, timely, knowledgeable and friendly staff.
We loved Sara!
Thank you!
They took a lot of pressure off the two of us. Once they found out where the supplies were stored at they took care of everything. We asked that they prep the sundae bar before they were scheduled to start. Then when it came to serve the sundae’s they dished out the ice cream and let the guests do their toppings. They kept the tables cleared and the trash can’s empty. My neighbor asked for their information. They have more parties than I and have always had friends serve the drinks and clean up. After seeing Jaz and crew working my party they said that they are going to use Jaz in the future.
I can’t say enough about the service we received.
I can't say enough about Jasmyne (bartender) and Sandra (wait staff). From the moment they walked in the door they immediately asked what needed to be done, took control of the situation, and ensured that everything was ready before my guests arrived. During the party they made my guests feel extra special when serving drinks and food. I certainly will hire them again for my next party!
Response from Absolute Ladies and Gentlemen:
Dear Rebecca
Thank you so much for the kind review. We can't wait to see you at your Halloween Party!
They were the best bartenders ever! We had so many compliments on how wonderful they both were. Just a delight! Thank you.
Jasmyne was wonderful to work with from the very beginning. Her communication was clear and precise. Upon arrival Jasmynes confidence and organizational skills put me at ease. The best part was her warm personality and seeing how much our guests loved her walking them through the beer tastings.
Our weddding was a challenge because we had no kitchen at the venue. No problem for Absolute Ladies & Gentlemen. Jaz and her crew seemlessly transitioned us through the evenings phases and meal courses. They took every care to create a lovely experience for us and our guests. Warm yet professional. So detail oriented. My guests raved about them!
The bartenders were awesome! Everybody enjoyed them very much. Very personable.
Response from Absolute Ladies and Gentlemen:
Dear Debra, Congratulations again on your anniversary. It was a pleasure working with you!
Jasmyne
Jasmyne did an amazing job at the party! She accommodated all of the guests request and everyone had a really good time.
Response from Absolute Ladies and Gentlemen:
Thank you do much for the kind review!
Very friendly and professional
Response from Absolute Ladies and Gentlemen:
Dear Sandeep
Thank you for the kind words. I look forward to working with you again.
Jasmyne was amazing at my party last weekend! She not only was very professional but also offered a helping hand. The drinks were great, and she also helped me with the list of ingredients to purchase and created a drink menu! Very patient and very flexible.
I cannot wait to have you at my next party. Everyone loved you!
Jasmyne was so awesome. I will definitely be working with her again. She helped with the menu, provided a shopping list, was very prompt and professional in serving our guests. I was extremely pleased!!!
Jaz was great from beginning to end. She created a custom drink menu and menu cards for my event, arrived on time and totally prepared. The drinks and service were fabulous and my guests were totally impressed. Jaz went above and beyond my expectations!
Would definitely use her again! She was very friendly and did a pretty significant amount of cleaning up and bussing. Thanks!!!
Very professional. Lots of guests commented what a great job they did! We had a few unruly guests and they did an excellent job of handling the situation.
Nothing short of perfection!! Jasmine was the best bartender!!!
Where do I begin because everything about my experience with Jasmyne was great!
I booked Jasmyne for bartending services for a cocktail reception with 125 guests. I booked her over eights months before my event. She contacted me monthly just to touches bases and see how my planning was going. She was very helpful in providing drink recommendations and answering any questions. She greeted me with a much needed hug after I finished setting up the venue and immediately made me a drink! The entire nights my guests commented on how great her personality was. She was so personable that my guests thought she was a friend or family member helping me out.
If I am ever in need of bartending services, I will definitely reach out to Jasmyne!
Response from Absolute Ladies and Gentlemen:
Dear Sheena
I enjoyed working with you so much. I am glad we made your day special.
I threw my husband a surprise 50th birthday party and hired Jasmyne. She was a pleasure to work with. She was very helpful and personable. I would definitely hire her in the future and highly recommend her services.
Response from Absolute Ladies and Gentlemen:
Dear Pamela
Thank you for your kind words. I look forward to working with you again. I had so much fun at your party.
Jasmyne knocked it out of the park! Awesome job mixing cocktails and keeping the party carnage to a minimum.
Jasmine is the hit of the party...again...! What a treat to have her help us with tending bar and with ever-engaging conversation with our guests. 5 stars
Absolute Ladies and Gentlemen worked a large topas style dinner party for 50 people. They prepped, plated, served and cleaned. All done professionally. The servers were friendly and did a great job of ensuring courses were served timely and to all guests. The dishes were plated well and the kitchen was in great shape when they left. Guests provided a lot of positive feedback. I recommend them and look forward to working with them in our next annual foodie dinner.
Such a pleasure working with Absolute Ladies! Talking to Jasymne ahead of my wedding she was very helpful in planning things out and she put me at ease that everything would be well taken care of. I was not disappointed on the day of the event; everyone was well-prepared, professional, and hard-working. Absolute Ladies went above and beyond in making sure the reception ran smoothly and adapting to whatever was thrown at them. The reception went beautifully and Jasmyne's flexibility, calm presence and great sense of humor make her such a joy to work with! I can't recommend Absolute Ladies enough!
Response from Absolute Ladies and Gentlemen:
Dear Rachel
Jessica and I had a lovely time working your wedding. Thank you so much for the amazing review.
Jasmyne is fabulous! We had Jasmyne as our bartender and also two servers from her team for an outdoor/indoor summer party at our home with over 100 guests.
Jasmyne is very organized and checked in before the event to touch base on last minute details.
Jasmyne was a hit at our party. The guests raved about her service and outgoing personality. The servers were great too, serving appetizers to guests, helping with food and clean up and other miscellaneous tasks.
We would definitely recommend their services!
I had never used gig salad before or absolute ladies but I will definitely be using these ladies for my future events. They were punctual, professional and so sweet. I barely had to give them any directions on what to do and they kept up with everything so well. I was able to host my family and friends and without being exhausted (8 months pregnant lol) and didn't have to worry about a thing. They absolutely exceeded my expectations, and as a Chef that's hard to do when it comes to service, so Thank you so much and till Next time Jasmine and Jessie.
Response from Absolute Ladies and Gentlemen:
Dear Camila
We were so happy to work your event and had a great time doing it. Please reach out to us in the future. Until next time.
Jaz
Jasmyne was beyond courteous, professional, and an overall a great addition to my wedding reception! She came at a great value for her services, worked with me ahead of time to develop a custom drink menu based on my theme, and even brought her own portable bar to the event. We worked out that I would purchase all of the alcohol and ice, but that wasn't a huge deal given that we were able to figure out quantity needed together based on number drinking and non-drinking guests.
In addition when I told her that my wedding theme was The Hobbit Jasmyne offered to dress for the occasion! She arrived on time, in an awesome beer wench costume that totally complimented my décor and definitely made the night memorable for everyone. With that said, I was more that happy with the service I received and highly recommend Absolute Ladies for any of your special events.
Thanks Jasmyne, you were great!
We had Jasmine and team for my sons college grad party. Everything went off perfectly and my guests all had wonderful comments about the team. Everything was cleaned packed and put away at the end of the night. Great job and I will definitely use them in the future!
We are so grateful for Jasymne's service at our event. She was friendly and the guests loved her. Thank you!
Cannot say enough positive things about Jasmine! The drinks were brilliant, her persona engaging, the service style and presentation exquisite, and her Karaoke voice put us all to shame! Having Jasmine over was like having a best friend who just happened to also be a first rate bartender.
Response from Absolute Ladies and Gentlemen:
Dear Kent
Thank you so much for the excellent review. I had such a great time at your home. I look forward to working with you again.
Jaz
Jasmyne was fantastic! She communicated really well prior to the event and worked so well with the guests. I had multiple people come up to me during the event to compliment how great she is. I would suggest Jasmyne for future events!
Response from Absolute Ladies and Gentlemen:
Mason-It was a pleasure working with you. Thank you!
Leslie was timely, professional and efficient, she did a great job manning the bar and picking up.
I have hired Absolute Ladies twice now. The first event was a weekend festival and she was fantastic. As a caterer, my responsibilities spread me thin sometimes. Jaz was the bartender and she picked up the slack without prompting and made me look good. At the second event, an evening fundraiser, she was the face of service and always wore a smile. I look forward to needing bartending or food service staffing again so I can take advantage of what Absolute Ladies has to offer.
Absolute Ladies recently provided bartending and food service at my wedding reception. During discussions before hire, Jazmyne was very prompt in her responses; however, this drastically changed after placing the deposit. Once I placed the deposit, I heard nothing from her until I reached out and then it took a few days to actually make contact with her. During that conversation, she commented that she would have the menu to me by the end of the weekend, but it took two weeks and a follow up message to receive the menu. I immediately responded with questions/suggestions, and never heard back from her. I heard from her the day of the wedding confirming that she and the second person would be there for the event. I cannot speak to whether she arrived on time, but I introduced myself to her after the ceremony. She was pleasant and professional, and clued me in to a shortage of bourbon which we were able to fix. She had initially mentioned that she would be able to help serve in the buffet line during dinner service, but was slow to actually help out. I also had several individuals mention that there was no one at the bar when they attempted to get a drink, later in the evening. I personally had this experience also.
Overall, Absolute Ladies was a good value for the provided services; however, I wish that communication and professionalism had been better throughout the process.
Response from Absolute Ladies and Gentlemen:
Dear Janie
Thank you for your valuable feedback. I will work on breaks in communication.
Jasmyne
I recently worked with Jasmyne from Absolute Ladies on a Halloween party and she seriously impressed. She was professional and charismatic and the guests really enjoyed her. She also knew her drinks! Jasmyne really went above and beyond for this client and really made the party a big success. I am looking forward to working with her again for future client's events.
I'd give 6 stars if possible. Sorry for the late review. You guys were awesome and I have recommended you to several people recently. We will use you again! Thanks for everything!!!
What a night! We had over 80 guest at our home dressed in 60's and 70's attire. Jasmyne and Jessica from Absolute Ladies made our guest feel so special with all their hard work. I would highly recommend their company.
Jasmyne and Jim did an awesome job working my husbands 40th surprise birthday party this weekend. when we ran out of something Jim ran to the store for me. He kept the tables clean and food flowing. Jasmyne ran the bar and kept the people happy! I would definitely use them again! Thank you for doing an excellent job!!
Response from Absolute Ladies and Gentlemen:
Dear Kim-
Thank you so much for the excellent review. I am so glad you had a lovely experience working with us. We both enjoyed ourselves.
Jasmyne ( bartender) & Jim (server) were hired for an adult birthday party. They were a God send! So very helpful, organized, flexible and accommodating. They walked into my home & gracefully took control of the food & drinks which allowed me the opportunity to actually enjoy my party. At the end of the party they even assisted with clean up ( every hosts favorite part of the party right...hehehe)!
I was so very grateful for their phenomenal service, & will not hesitate to call them for future events.
Jasmyne & Jim thank you so much!!!!
Response from Absolute Ladies and Gentlemen:
Dear Laurinia-
Jim and I were honored to be asked to work your event and we are glad we made it special. We look forward to working with you again!
Jaz and Jim
Jasmyne bartended our sons graduation party. Jasmyne was a great help. The guests loved her. She has a great personality. She arrived on time and set up very quickly.
