Professional freelance bartender available for hire! My name is Christopher Nutting, and I have been a bartender for over eighteen (18) years. I am a part-time "independent agent" within the beverage industry, and I work with numerous catering companies and staffing firms.
I have over fifty"5-star" reviews - yes, 50+!! (a few on here, can link you to the rest upon request), so I can absolutely guarantee that your money will be well-spent.
I am college-educated, with over 30 years experience in customer service and working with the public. I excel in fast-paced environments, am great with people, and pride myself on being a "team player.”
I look forward to providing you great service : )
I can't say enough about CD Nutting. He showed up early and set everything up better than I had it. He kept everything iced and went above and beyond. You will not go wrong with contracting with Mr. Nutting for any and all of your bartending needs!
Chris set up and got going, right away, he was very friendly and professional, I received multiple compliments from guests at the party at how great of a bartender Chris was. I will recommend to anyone looking for a bartender, and would hire him again.
Chris was simply fantastic. He is very easy to work and very flexible
I highly recommend him for your next event.
Response from C. D. Nutting:
Thank you Kunal! It was an absolute pleasure to help everyone celebrate Nisha's birthday. It's easy to be "fantastic" when I have a fantastic crowd in front of me : )
Chris bartended our Halloween themed engagement party at our home and we couldn’t have had a better experience. He supplied us with a shopping list that was super helpful and was easy to contact prior to the event. He showed up 90 minutes early to set up and make sure we had everything we needed. He picked up ice for us and brought bins to keep drinks in. He was great with our guests and everybody had an amazing time. For our next event, I will absolutely be booking Chris again.
Did an amazing job throughout the event. Very professional. Did a really nice job during the clean up
Chris was very helpful when it came to a supplies list and making sure we had everything we needed for our event. He was kind, friendly and served drinks to our guests throughout the party. I highly recommend him!!!
C.D. made things easy and carefree for me at my event. I didn't have to worry about the bar service and was pleased that all of my guests were taken care of.
Thanks C.D. for keeping things moving all night and organizing everything to make cleanup on Sunday much easier!!
Great service, I will definitely use Chris again.
Chris arrived early and set up for the evening. The guests ordered anything you could name and he served it without missing a beat. I will use him again. Very professional service. Thanks Chris!
I never regreted selecting Mr. Nutting to provide bar tending service for my friend who celebrated his 50th birthday anniversary yesterday. Prior to the event, Chris called to discuss what our needs were and also provided some good advices on the type of drinks usually served during similar events. On the event day, Chris arrived ahead of the start time, very well dressed to set the bar rolling. Chris always kept the bar very tidy and clean throughout the entire duration of the event which lasted from 1600 through 2300. Chris also helped in packing all the left over drinks after the event. Most of the invited guest were impressed about Chris' professional service. He has a very good attitude and welcomed every guest with a smile. Chris is the reason why this event was a huge success. I will always recommend Chris to anyone who needs a professional bar tender with a positive attitude. Thank you again Chris!!
CD was the bartender for my event of 60 and was excellent and always professional. As an event planner I appreciate reliable vendors!
I highly recommend C.D. Nutting! My husband and I hired him to bartend our wedding reception and he was very professional, on-time, well-dressed, and nice to all the guests. He showed up an hour before he was scheduled to make sure everything was in order and served mostly beer, wine, and hard alcohol. Our wedding had about 100 attendees and our guests had nothing but good things to say about him because he was polite and quick at pouring drinks. It was nice to have a vendor who knew what they were doing and not cause any trouble. I encourage people to use him as their bartender.

As stated before, I have been a bartender for over eighteen years now. I have worked for catering companies, staffing firms, and have worked for one of the largest Native-American casinos in California. I do have over fifty [50] amazing reviews of my work (most not on this site, but can link you to them upon request), and have stellar references from previous employers.
I generally focus on short(er)-timeline jobs, so I do not book any jobs farther out than two months. Also - due to my free-lance/on-call status - I can often (but not always) accommodate last-minute service requests. Please keep in mind that I am "one-man show," which means that the maximum guest-count that I can service is around 100-125 people (any more than that, and service time would suffer). Please let me know if you have any questions/concerns regarding guest counts!
If you're looking to book jobs at public venues (banquet halls, etc.), please keep in mind that these venues often have licensing / insurance requirements that I may not be able to fulfill (liquor licenses, for example, are extremely expensive to obtain). Please let me know if you are considering a public venue; I would be more than happy to help navigate any requirements!
Finally, about my pricing: I usually craft my quotes based on the total amount of time that I am devoting to your event. By "total," I mean that I include things like drive-time to/from events, and set-up/breakdown time for the bar set-up at your venue (your event may only be 4-5 hours, but for me that can easily mean a 9-10 hour time commitment ). Please understand that I am not trying to be greedy, but merely trying to assess a fair compensation for my time! Also, the time that I have spent with catering companies, etc. means that I have a decent knowledge of what the "going" hourly rate for bartenders is (having said that, my quotes are consistently lower).
Please let me know if I can provide you amazing service!
