I hired a server last minute from Events by Lissa for my Christmas party, my second encounter with this team and again, they delivered excellence! Renzu was the server, he jumped in and helped organize the food line to maximize efficiency and keep the food product tiptop! He was forward thinking in how he could assist and was already preparing the food area to switch from dinner to dessert when I came back in to check on things. He washed and dried my dishes, moved the trash out consistently, assisted guests with questions and recommendations. This guy was on it! I would request him again and Lissa is my permanent go to for bartend and serving needs!

I recently hired Lisa for a small company holiday gathering. Both my employers and I were beyond impressed with her exceptional service! From start to finish, she went above and beyond. She was super polite, friendly and treated all our guests with a smile and welcoming attitude. Not only did she deliver top-notch bartending skills, she also took the initiative to set up a separate table for the food, which was an unexpected and much-appreciated touch. Lisa's attention to detail, kindness, and positive attitude was a PLUS to the overall experience. She was professional, efficient, and genuinely cared about making the event comfortable and memorable for everyone. I wouldn't hesitate to hire Lisa from "Events by Lisa" again and would happily recommend her services to anyone looking for an outstanding bartender. She was truly a pleasure to work with! <3/ Maria with Sapphire Media Group

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!
