I’ve been in the service industry for 20+ years. My experience ranges from dive bars to high-volume nightclubs & concert halls to fine dining, white linen service. I’ve curated cocktail menus, managed bars, and done tons of catered events such as weddings, corporate dinners, and everything in between. Polished, punctual & professional, yet still know how to have a good time. Attention to detail & curating inspired drinks are my passion. But- if you just need someone to show up & pour drinks- I got you there too. Let me handle the details so you can relax & enjoy the party. I can help you with shopping lists, custom menu curation, and logistics as well.
Jess worked with us to host a retirement party (~50 guests) for a colleague. Ahead of the event she was available to answer questions and to hell with planning. On the day of she arrived early with mobile bar table, mixers, garnishes, cups and napkins, and was set up ahead of kick off. She was great with guests, mixed some great drinks, and stayed for 4 hours even helping out with some post party cleanup. Will certainly be reaching out to her again the next time we host a party.
Guests had a great time and had unanimously positive feedback
I hired Jess to bartend at my husbands 70th birthday in our backyard. She was Awesome! Came with her own set up bar, Cups, napkins, limes, etc. and as it does in Colorado, it rained a bit and Jess was so chill about it, and stood out there and just kept everyone happy pouring great drinks! She was a huge asset to the party. She was also very communicative and timely. Did a special cocktail menu for the party and was a true Pro! I would hire her again in a second!
Response from The Lost Shaker LLC:
Thanks for the review Jacci— it was truly a delight to meet you & your husband— and I was happy to help make Wally’s birthday party a success!
She was a FANTASTIC bartender! My friends and family loved the interaction, loved the creativity in making different cocktails, and a joy to chat with.
She was on time, professional yet friendly and conversant with all guests whether adults or kids. She made it through a snow storm to be here. Great drinks! Will definitely have her back.
Jessica from The Lost Shaker was truly amazing. She arrived early and prepped the bar, making it beautiful in the process. She was extremely professional and wonderfully talented. Our guests all appreciated Jessica's tasty beverages. They all wanted her contact information to book her services in the future. I can't say enough good things about Jessica and our experience with her. We look forward to hosting events with her bartending skills in the future.

Top 3 reasons to hire a professional bartender for your party:
1) Expertise. You get the benefit of having someone who’s EXPERIENCED in the field, who has put the time in perfecting their craft & learning the science behind what makes a good cocktail. The proof is in the pudding!
2) Liability. You want someone who is responsible & knows the applicable liquor laws in the state of Colorado & has the proper knowledge, practice and certifications, to serve your guests in a responsible manner. The last thing you want is one person’s bad decision ruining the party.
3) One less thing for you to worry about- so you can ACTUALLY ENJOY your party!
