Thank you Michelle!! I had a blast with you and your family and I'm looking forward to the next event. Cheers 🥂
Arrived early, communicated well, helped with other setup duties and was overall very helpful and professional. My guests enjoyed Mell's personality and drink making ability.
Mell was the highlight of our party. Several of our guests commented on how much she added to the overall festiveness of our event. Highly recommend her!!!
Response from Mell the Bartender:
Heather, thank you so much for a great review! It was a pleasure serving you and your guests and I look forward to seeing you at the next event!
Such a pleasure to work with and so helpful and nice - best decision for our party! Thank you Mel!
Mell was professional, accommodating, and perfectly matched the energy of our wedding reception. Would 100% recommend, even just in the lead up to the event she was thoughtful and easy to work with.
Response from Mell the Bartender:
Thank you so much for the incredible review Tristan. I had an amazing time serving you and your guests. I wish you and your new wife much success and many blessings!
P.s. Feel free to book me for the baby shower!! 👶 😊
Cheers!
Mel was awesome! She was very professional and courteous, a great addition to the party!
Mell let me know prior to our event that she was running behind due to unforeseeable circumstances. She was just the tiniest bit late (but we totally get it, sh*t happens) my point is that her communication was 🤌🏼💋 *chefs kiss* throughout my entire experience working with her. She made up for it in big ways. She provided excellent service, and the PERFECT drinks for our event. Her uniquely named, themed cocktails were a huge hit! Mell is a professional, communicative, easy to work with mixologist that we will definitely use for future events.
Response from Mell the Bartender:
Kara, thank you for such a great review! It's clients like you who make my job that much more pleasurable. Can't wait until the next event!
Wholesome and all around great.
We loved Mel! We hired her for our wedding reception. She just came on in and took over, there were no complaints and she performed smoothly. We will be recommending her to all our friends and family. Thank you so much Mel!
Response from Mell the Bartender:
Thanks for allowing me to be a part of your special event, Leesa! I look forward to working with you again in the future.
She was responsive and helpful, as well as friendly and professional.

If an audience came to see me, they’d experience a dynamic bartender who is both a mixologist and an entertainer. From the moment I step behind the bar, it's all about creating a smooth, enjoyable experience. Guests would see me engaging with every person who orders a drink—whether with a friendly smile, a quick joke, or an interesting tidbit about the cocktail I’m mixing. Expect signature cocktails crafted with consistency, efficient service, and a vibe that keeps the energy high from start to finish.
When a client hires me, they’re getting more than just a bartender—they’re getting a reliable partner in creating a seamless event. I offer:
Custom Drink Menus: Tailored to fit the theme, vibe, and preferences of the event.
Signature Cocktails: Thoughtfully crafted to leave a lasting impression.
Professional, Courteous Service: I connect easily with guests, making them feel welcome and valued.
High-Profile Experience: I’ve worked with exclusive clients and pop-up events, so I know how to deliver with poise under pressure.
Full Setup and Breakdown: I handle everything from start to finish, so event planners/hosts can focus on what matters most—enjoying the event.
Ultimately, if you hire me, you’re getting a top-tier bartending experience where every detail is handled with care and professionalism. My goal is to ensure guests not only enjoy the drinks but remember the experience—and of course, Have the Experience You Deserve.
Hi, I’m Mell—a passionate bartender with a knack for crafting unforgettable cocktails and experiences. I started my bartending journey in 2014 and quickly found that it’s about more than just mixing drinks; it’s about creating moments people remember. Whether it's at a neighborhood bar, a nightclub, a pop-up for a high-profile client or an intimate gathering, I thrive in dynamic environments and know how to keep the energy just right.
With a background in event service and a love for signature cocktails, I bring creativity, professionalism, and a bit of fun to every event. I specialize in custom drink menus, efficient service, and making guests feel valued with every pour. My goal? To ensure every event is seamless, enjoyable, and leaves people raving long after the last drink is served.
Outside of bartending, I’m passionate about hospitality, lifelong learning, and making connections with others. When you book me, you get someone who’s committed to bringing their best, every single time. Let’s make your next event one to remember!
I only need space for a portable bar setup, if required.

I am capable of providing a portable bar setup, but I require a space about the size of a standard walk-in closet.
