I am a mixologist and the proud owner of Natali’s Event Mixology, where we specialize in hand crafted mocktails and cocktails.
Beyond bartending services, I also offer mixology classes and courses, event staff services, and charcuterie boards and small grazing table setups.
Whether you are having a wedding, a birthday party, a girl’s night, or want to learn how to make hand crafted cocktails, it would be my honor to serve you!
I have relocated from Indianapolis to the Tampa Bay area with over 15 years bartending experience, which includes 3 years of managing a popular bar downtown Indy, working in some of America's favorite restaurants, bartending in the Indianapolis Colts suite at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and bartending at a vast variety of private events.
I genuinely love hospitality and providing quality service! I thrive on exceeding client expectations. My clients are my priority, and I take pride in bringing an extra flair to their events. Please let me know how I can assist you with your next event.
Cheers 🍸

Natali’s Event Mixology is top notch. Her mixed drinks are on point as crowd pleasers. She is very professional and goes the extra distance to make sure her customers are happy. She served at my birthday last Saturday and her extra touch made the evening that more memorable. Thank you.

Natali went above and beyond as a bartender for my wedding. Not only did she serve guests wonderful drinks, she tried to help in any way that she could to make my day as smooth as possible. All of my guests loved her drinks and the fact that it was an open bar. Natali is definitely a bartender I would recommend!

Natalie was absolutely incredible! I hired her as the bartender for our Chinese Lunar New Year celebration, and she exceeded every expectation. She’s extremely professional, an excellent communicator, and has such a warm, personable energy that made all of our guests feel taken care of.
She arrived an hour early to get settled, stayed perfectly on schedule, and handled everything with ease. Her cocktails were amazing — truly some of the best we’ve had at any event.
Natalie is by far the best bartender I’ve ever hired, and I highly, highly recommend her for any occasion. She made our celebration feel elevated and effortless.
Five stars all the way!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
All quotes are negotiable, however, I am very competitive with my prices and I consider my hourly rate based on tips allowed/not allowed and additional services that are being requested. Deposits are Non-refundable.
Things that make the price go up:
#1 - Lack of Central Air or Temps above 75°, there will be an extra charge of $150 for the event.
#2 - If items needed for the bar are not in the bar area upon arrival, there is an extra charge of $75 as well as an extra 30 mins of time needed (at cost of quoted pricing)
#3 - If you purchase handles (1/2 gallons), unless discussed upon initial menu discussion, there is an extra charge of $75 as these are not conducive for efficiency and consistent use for several hours.
#4 - If you make a change to the menu prior to the event, without consulting with your bartender prior to the event, there will be an extra $75 charge for lack of preparation and inaccurate descriptions of your bar menu that is presented to your guests.
#5 - If you or your guests (this includes bridal parties, parent's of the bride and groom, and other vendors) bring "personal" items for alcohol consumption, there is an extra charge of $100 and is considered a violation of your contract with your venue and can result in me refusing to be your bartender as my license could be in jeopardy and your venue may choose to not have me back for any future opportunities.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I am very flexible and willing to talk specifics and answer any questions over the phone via text message or phone calls.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I was trained to be a bartender over 15 years ago, and I have also trained numerous bartenders while working as a manager/head bartender of a popular bar downtown Indianapolis.
