We can assist with assembling bars in various sizes, staging elegant buffet tables, and all the must-haves.

Highly recommend Events by Lissa! We had to scramble and hire a bartender for a wedding in two weeks and Lissa and her team did an amazing job. Lissa was quick to respond to our messages, was very accommodating, and the value of her service was exceptional. On the day of the wedding, they were both on time, professional and extremely helpful. They were well prepared and provided so many things for us going above and beyond what we could have asked for! We got so many compliments on how good their service was. Would highly recommend hiring them for any event!

We used Lissa’s company to bartend my engagement party this past weekend. Lissa and her staff were fantastic! She was very punctual, extremely flexible with what I needed and helped to bring any garnishes or add ons that I forgot when purchasing beverages. The value Lissa provides is absolutely incredible and her prices are extremely reasonable. She was an absolute pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend her for your next event! She also did a ton of help cleaning up the party which I was incredibly grateful for. I will definitely be using her again. Thank you Lissa and team for a fantastic event!

Lissa and bartender were very cooperative and willing to do whatever was needed. She brought champagne glasses and raspberries, gold sparkles to add. She offered to bring things she thought would be of help.

We hired Lissa to bartend our wedding reception on 7/23/23. She and her assistant were such a big help to us and even went to pick up our catering order at before coming over to the house we had our reception at. Lissa even offered to bring champagne glasses for the champagne toast at no additional charge and extra ice. They set up the food for the guests and made excellent drinks such as our signature drink - margarita punch . Lissa and her assistant helped us clean up and took out the trash before they left . I highly recommend Lissa because she is professional and went above and beyond to ensure our party was a success . Thank you Lissa!
