Flair-tenders were hired for our wedding reception. Our guests loved them and our wedding coordinator had nothing but great things to say about them as well. We had no idea where to begin to plan for an open bar reception. Joe helped us with what to get and how much to get for the reception. We had a great time at our wedding because we knew Joe and his team were doing a great job! We would not hesitate to hire Flair-tenders again. Having Flair-tenders at your party will give you peace of mind. Joe and his team will do a great job at your party, so you can enjoy!
Thank you! Thank you! just had phenomenal Christmas party with 100 guests at our house and your bartending and server saved the day because we were totally not ready and they stepped in making original drinks and made party POP! TERRIFIC! OUTSTANDING! Thanks
Joe was professional, organized and a great communicator from beginning to end. They made my first large party at my new home completely effortless. I got to enjoy my guests and know they were in good hands. Sam and Sabrina were very friendly and experienced...pampered all my guests the entire night, knew what they were drinking, and exceeded all expectations. I don't think I would have another party without them! When everyone was gone my house was spotless. The day after I only heard my friends bragging about how phenomenal they were. I would have them back in a heartbeat. They took our party to a higher level no doubt. "BEST party ever!" is the feedback I got! Book them with no reservations.
We had nearly three hundred guests and two bartenders. We were really worried that we would have a long line at the bar. That never happened. There were a lot of people but the the service was fast and good, the bartenders were a hit and there was a not a single complaint. I highly recommend Flair-tenders. I know I will use them again.
We used this company for my engagement party. They even came up with drink suggestions to have and what exactly we needed to buy for the drinks. They were on time and very outgoing. This is our 2nd time using this company and they always do a great job!
I had my daughters engagement party at my home and Joe was wonderful. He showed up on time, was professional, courteous and friendly. He even went above and beyond and helped in other areas of our event. I was very impressed and he delivered more than promised. I would definitely use again and have referred out many times to friends and relatives.
We hired Flairtenders for my 28th birthday. It was a Great Gatsby party so we wanted everything to have a 1920's theme. Joe was fantastic and put together a specialty cocktail list with drinks from that period (Gin Rickey, Planters Punch and Mint Juleps)! Based on the number of people attending, he created a shopping list for us so we could easily buy what we needed. Our bartender, Kelly, was great too! She arrived early to setup the bar and get her station ready for our guests. I didn't have to worry about a thing once the party started. The drinks were fantastic and everyone thought having a bartender was really awesome. I would definitely recommend Flairtenders!
Joe was so responsive in planning and helping plan what I needed for a small house party. My bartender Kelly was amazing. She helped greet guests, helps me prep food platters before guests arrived and even played with my son. She walked around and filled drinks so that people didn't need to stop conversations to go to her. Definitely will be a repeat customer.
Joe made it look effortless behind that bar. He kept the crowd moving and entertained while mixing away. There were about 90 people, not one of them had a bad thing to say about Joe. It isn't everyday you get exactly what you want. I do regret not letting him create the menu after hearing more of his ideas.Can't wait for next year!
Response from Flair-tenders:
Thanks Amanda.. Working with your party was a blast. Cant wait till next time.
As a wedding and event planner I am very picky. I hired joe and his team for 2 parties over this summer and both went great. Joe and his team did an outstanding job and were very personable and friendly. There was never a huge drink line and that is always my biggest pet peeve! Definately going to hire them again! Highly recommend them!
The owner, Joe helped me by creating a list of specialty drinks for my husbands surprise birthday luau. He emailed me a list of all the different kinds of liquor and amounts to buy for the party size. My bartender was Sammy and he was wonderful. My guests told me how attentive he was and walked around to make sure everyone had drinks. He stayed 2 1/2 hours past the contracted time to continue bartending since the party was still in full swing. I would definately recommend Flair-tenders and will use them again for our parties.
Response from Flair-tenders:
Thanks for the review Sylvia.. We really enjoyed working with you and making your party a success.. Looking forward to next time already!!
Joe did a very good job of estimating the amount of liquor we would need for the party, however cool weather ended up causing us to have a fair amount left over. Joe was very helpful in preparing and being creative with the theme of the party. His bartenders were friendly and did just the right amount of drink promotion. My only complaint was the team seemed to exit fairly quickly with fair amount of mess left behind for us to handle. In all, I would use them again.
Response from Flair-tenders:
Thanks Phil for the review. It was a pleasure working with you and your family on your party. To address your concerns I would like to sincerely apologize if the bar was left in a unsatisfactory condition. Before I left I had my team scan the bar for trash and to my knowledge they took care of the debris. As my team was leaving there was a large number of guests still drinking at the bar, maybe that had something to do with it.. On any note Thank you again..
Joe
We were very impressed with Sam. I didn't know exactly know what to expect. Our expectations were surpassed. Thank you.
We hired Joe to bartend at my daughter's first birthday pool party. He was very helpful with the planning of the party and provided useful insight into how much liquor, mixers, garnish, cups, etc. would be necessary for our 80 people. He was extremely responsive and my guests loved him. He also makes fantastic margaritas :)
Response from Flair-tenders:
Had a blast serving you guys. Thanks again for the business!!
Hired Joe for a Birthday Party for my brother in Willow Springs,IL. Any questions I had regarding the party were answered quickly. He provided a small crew of bartenders who were very friendly and courteous! Drinks flowed smoothly and I had no worries! Many of my friends at the party were complimentary regarding the bartenders...
Joe and his staff worked a birthday party for me last weekend and I couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised. They showed up early, set up quickly and kept everything seamless. The price was more than reasonable considering that the alcohol was top shelf and flowed all night. I recv'd kudos from many guests on the service they experienced- personal, quick, and extremely friendly. I will absolutely refer this team to family and friends as well as book again myself for future
engagements. Thanks GIGSALAD and FLAIR-TENDERS!!
