Introduction
I develop and deliver custom cocktails for weddings, birthday parties, corporate events, or any other celebration. I use seasonal, fresh ingredients and make all my own syrups, tinctures, shrubs, etc. I enjoy working with my clients to develop a menu that suits their event. I offer a discounted rate to pour simple cocktails (vodka & soda, gin & tonic, etc.), and beer/wine. You can hire me with confidence. I am professional, efficient, and clean. I have 12 years experience as a bartender and 15 years experience in hospitality and I recently managed one of the top cocktail bars in the South Bay. I'm self-insured, LEAD certified, California Food Handler certified, vaccinated, and I speak Spanish as a second language.

Darren at Los Gatos cocktail co. was an amazing bartender. We hosted a birthday for my husband and the experience was very smooth. We created two specialty cocktails for the event based on his recommendation, including an old fashioned smoked to order. Both drinks were a hit, and all the guests were happy at how quickly the drinks came out. Darren has great communication and arrived on time with all agreed upon supplies. We are planning another event and are excited to book Los Altos Cocktail co. again.

We had Darren for our wedding bartender and his drinks were delicious! All of our guests thought him and his partner’s services were amazing. He offered great customer service to us and answered all of my questions in regard to our shopping list in a timely manner. I will recommend him to anyone who is having a event.

We hired Darren as the bartender for our New Year's Eve wedding, and it was one of the best decisions we made for our big day. He helped us come up with our signature drinks, which were very popular at our event (we loved how he used fresh ingredients and festive toppers!). He helped us figure out the right amount of alcohol, chasers, ice, and mixers to buy so that we were well-prepared for the night. He was also adaptable. Our venue didn’t provide any bar essentials, but that didn’t faze him. He seamlessly managed the bar setup, making sure everything ran smoothly. We wanted to avoid having our guests wait in long lines and Darren made sure that was never the case. Working with him has been so seamless and amazing. Hiring Los Gatos Cocktail Co was one of the best decisions of our wedding. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to handle our bar. Thank you, Darren, for your outstanding service and for making our wedding night even more special!

Details: 101 - 125 guests • Wedding reception • Upbeat / lively • Public venue • Beer • Liquor / mixed drinks • Wine • Non-alcoholic beverages • Bartender will need to bring the bar • Tip jars allowed • Setup / cleanup • Ice • Glassware • Coolers
