Dave not only responded quickly to my request, but he kept in touch with me beforehand to make sure that I got the correct ingredients and setup. He even created 3 special drinks for my event, high I printed on a menu. He showed up way early before time and set up without much of a fuss, remaining flexible wirh regards to whatever I was missing. During the event he was so efficient and joyous. Everyone loved him! Afterwards, he was swift with pack up and I didn't want him to leave! I'll be hiring him again! He goes above and beyond in professionalism and friendliness! What a great time- thanks to him!

We hired Dave as the bartender for our 1920s-themed party, and he was absolutely amazing! He helped us curate an incredible cocktail menu that perfectly matched the theme. His attention to detail and creativity really shone through in every drink—each one was delicious and perfectly crafted. His professionalism and skill behind the bar were top-notch, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about the cocktails. I highly recommend Dave for any event—he truly made our party unforgettable!
Dave was good. Showed up before the hours and set up everything before the event. Super friendly with everyone!

Dave was easy to work with. We planned a cocktail menu together and he sent us a shopping list. Dave was always responsive and came up for suggestions that enhanced our menu and our bar set up. All our guest loved him, and the drinks were perfect. We hope to work with Dave again in the future.

Dave worked an event hosted in my apartment this past weekend. In advance he provided a shopping list, which was very helpful. He showed up on time, got everything set up quickly, and was ready to go! He made fantastic drinks and was very friendly interacting with my guests. I would 100% recommend him to anyone looking for a bartender for an event--and even already recommended him to a few friends. Thanks Dave!!!

We had David at our adult birthday party and he was fantastic!! He helped us with figuring out the cocktails and drinks for the evening and gave us a shopping list. On the day itself he was there way before time to set up. His service was polite and gracious and my guests (including kids) commented how how nice he was.
Would recommend him without reservations!

Dave was great. We booked him for our house party for halloween. He was great about setting up calls beforehand to get an idea of our vision and then came up with 4 awesome cocktails for our party. He also came early and even helped set up with us which was very generous. Great guy. Would hire him again.

David was an awesome addition to my 25th birthday! He made great drinks (espresso martinis were a hit! Along with Moscow mules, tequila sunrises and margaritas). He supplied a thorough ingredient list that fit the party size well and was a great energy to have at the event! We really enjoyed having him and some of the guests are hoping to book with him for their next events. 10/10!
I met David at my friend's birthday party where he was bartending for the night and he was the nicest bartender I've come across in a long time! He knows what he's doing, drinks taste great and he has a very kind personality. I highly reccommend David for your next party!

He’s responsive, respectful, and resourceful. Showed up on time, helped set up, and made it a stress-free experience. Thank you for the great service!

Thanks Tiffany!
Dave
We hired David to bartend during our Friendzgiving to which 21 people were in attendance. David promptly arrived 30 minutes before our event was to start. We talked through drink options based on the variety of options we had for beer, wine, liquor and non-alcoholic drinks. He was very open to our ideas and also offered up a few of his own.
David is very personable and easy to work with. He cleaned up multiple times throughout the evening and even helped me with general kitchen clean-up once the majority of our guests left.
You can't go wrong hiring David for your event!!
