Introduction
Hi there, my name is Melanie. Disclaimer: I’m a dry hire, so I cannot sell liquor or purchase and provide liquor for events for you as I don’t have an ABC license, but I can supply everything else, if needed. Meaning- you would have to supply the alcohol for your event and it cannot be sold. With that being said- I have worked in the bar industry for over 20 years at venues that vary in style and atmosphere. I am well versed in classic cocktails, TGIF era cocktails and the current cocktails. I have worked in both high volume nightclub style environments and fine dining atmospheres. I love hospitality and helping to facilitate in people’s joyful events. Happy to be of service to the Greater LA area, OC and Riverside county. Insured, TIPs and Servsafe certified.

Melanie did an incredible job bartending for our event!! She suggested the perfect spooky cocktails, made the cutest menu and even decorated her bar for the Halloween theme! She made the entire event seamless and provided the most professional bar service for our guests. I cannot recommend her enough!

Melanie was amazing to work with! She was a bartender for my sister’s grad party and did an amazing job catering to 40-50 people by herself! She is extremely punctual and professional, did her setup and cleanup and was very attentive to what everyone wanted. I would highly recommend Melanie!

We hired Melanie to bartend for my mom’s 70th birthday party, and could not be more pleased. Prior to the event, she was very communicative and helped me plan accordingly for our guests and for the specific drinks we wanted to serve. She also had some great suggestions of her own! During the party she was extremely professional, friendly, and made some delicious drinks. Everyone at the party loved her, including the kids and non-drinkers, who she did a tremendous job serving as well. I can’t say enough great things about Melanie, and would highly recommend her for any bartending event!
