Melanie did such an amazing job at our wedding! She was so accommodating and easy to work with. She answered all of our questions quickly and was so flexible! We asked her to change her arrival time for the day of our wedding and she accommodated us so quickly! I would definitely recommend her and really enjoyed working with her! All of our guests loved her too!! Thanks so much Melanie!

Melanie did a fantastic job -- well exceeded my highest expectations. Was perfectly punctual, flexible on timing, and delivered on everything we discussed. Also brought thoughtfulness and creativity to how to set up the space -- and executed perfectly! Even more, she has a deep knowledge of food and beverage (wine) and was giving recommendations and knowledge with the guests. Lastly, she was lovely interacting with the guests. Excited to work with her again!

Melanie and the extra bartender she hired were great!! They stayed in communication with us about maybe needed more alcohol and helped breakdown tables and chairs at the end of the night.

Thanks Spencer! It was a pleasure to be a part of your special day!
Melanie is amazing. She bartender and provided her services during my birthday weekend and even brought fresh mint and basil from her garden for special drinks on the menu. Thank you Melanie I could not say enough kind words everyone loved her!!
Melanie was extremely nice, approachable and accommodating. We served local craft beer at our wedding in addition to some domestic beers. Melanie went out of her way to ask about the beers to be better informed for our guests. Wouldn't change a thing! Thank you, Melanie!

Thanks Nicole, it was a pleasure to be a part of your special day!
Melanie was great with keeping the drinks we provided - beer, wine bourbon and 2 soda options for mixers served to our guests. Payment is required at the end of the night and she asked my husband and I multiple times in front of guests for payment which we were able to do, but was quite a lot during the midst of the reception etc. One of the many reasons we had a hired planner to delegate payments etc. but the ball was dropped there. I would recommend, and use her services again for events in the future.
Melanie was so so wonderful. She was a total joy to work with. Very cool and level headed. She talked us through any questions we had and helped with any issues that came up. She was an excellent bartender. I really can't say enough good things about Melanie. She was my favorite person helping with our wedding.

Melanie and her sister were our bartenders for our wedding in Harrisonburg, and I cannot recommend them enough! Melanie was always available whenever I had a question or wanted to have a quick phone call throughout the planning process. There was never a long wait for a drink at our wedding, and while things were slow at the bar, they would jump in and help clear empty plates from the buffet. Book with Melanie and you won't be disappointed!

We reached out to Melanie at the last minute to serve as a bartender for our wedding. Melanie was responsive, professional, and incredibly helpful. She rolled with the punches and took care of everything for us on the day of, including bringing ice so we didn't have to go to the store. Our guests really enjoyed her, and she didn't forget her great smile. We would book her again in a heartbeat.
