Introduction
Hey there! My names Melissa and I have an awesome small but mighty team with me who would love to help you run a smooth and successful get together. Combined we have 30+ years of hospitality experience. We’re most familiar with working anything from backyard parties, baby showers, weddings and even intimate cocktail teaching classes. We’re very go with the flow and can make any cocktail you can think of, and make it rather well. I also love creating cocktails/mocktails based on your “theme” of the party. A recent drink I made was “The future is lookin bright” for a graduation party. I work full time in Labor and Delivery but there’s something I love so much about bartending and meeting all kinds of people. When I’m not working at the hospital or hanging with my husband and toddler I love to help parties run smoothly and efficiently. I also am BASSETT certified and have been for years since I was working in the industry for so long! Looking forward to chatting and planning with you! 🥂

I had Melissa bartend for my 30th birthday party and she was absolutely incredible!! She helped curate three signature cocktails based on my theme and alcohol preferences. The drinks were absolutely delicious, with on theme garnishes for extra flair. Melissa herself is lovely to work with. She’s very clear, bubbly, and positive. She also was flexible and helped to plan something with careful consideration of my budget. 10/10 recommend! 💕
