Thank you so much for having me, I appreciate your booking and I'm delighted that that you and your guests were pleased with my service! It was a pleasure🙂
The servers did a wonderful job. They arrived on time and began setting up the food station for the wedding. I read the reviews before selecting this company and I was not disappointed. I will definitely use them again.

She was early, set up the bar beautifully, and was extremely professional tending the bar and cleaning up the area when she had some down time. It made our evening very enjoyable having her there!
Amazing experience. Went above and beyond what was expected. She brought small details to the party that made a lasting impression. Will definitely hire again. Great choice for your party, dependable, and super helpful.

Thank you for having me!!
Booked for a wine dinner for 8 people at my home. Event held outside. Our needs and the scope of work were very broad and undefined due to the nature of our event. She was so flexible and did not miss a beat. From set up to drink and food service to clean up she took the initiative and was confident to jump right in. Everyone had a blast and we were able to enjoy our guests for a change. Highly recommended and will book again.

Thank so much for having me and for this wonderful review! It was a true pleasure to service your event😊
Natasha provided a great service for my daughter’s bridal shower. She was very quick to communicate and she knew what to do and didn’t hesitate to put up her sleeves and jump in to help. She was so friendly and everyone at the party was raving about her. I highly recommend her and will definitely call her again.

Natosha’s bartending service was awesome. She was on time, setup and cleaned after the party. I definitely recommend her for your events.
Pleasant personality and wiling to help in anyway possible. Took care of the guests.

Thank you for the opportunity to service your special occasion and your guests.
I am not one to ever leave negative feedback but I am astounded by the level of unprofessionalism Natosha has shown me. It has been 3 days since Natosha did not show up for an event I had been planning for the last 3 months. To worsen things, she has not reached out to apologize or explain her circumstance. Before I hired Natosha, she was extremely responsive to all my messages. As soon as I committed, her responses became erratic and spontaneous. I worked with her schedule and purchased everything she requested. However on the day of my event, she was completely unreachable via text, email or message through this app, and she left me completely stranded and without any help. I regret that I did not take one of the many other great offers I had on here. My family and friends are still frustrated and I hope this does not ever happen to someone else.
Natasha fell in line and went above and beyond! I would never hesitate to hire her again. She’s very communicative and efficient. All of my guests applauded her service!

Natosha allowed me to book early in advance for my Halloween party. She created a professional experience with her bartending skills. She arrived in a timely manner and was extremely organized.
