Introduction

Hey there! My names Melissa and I have an awesome small but mighty team with me who would absolutely 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. 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. Looking forward to chatting 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! 💕

If you’re thinking about hiring a bartender for your event, hire Melissa! She was super responsive leading up to the event, and on the day of she was a rock star! We were behind setting up and she jumped in to help set up the bar and get everything ready. She knocked the signature drink out of the park and my guests were raving about her all night and the next morning! I couldn’t recommend her enough!!

Melissa was fabulous to work with, she communicated clearly and consistently and also brought Jasmine to help bus and clean while she bartended for our party! Everything was seamless from planning the drinks menu (she customized for our theme) to setup and execution. Mock-tails and cocktails were both incredibly tasty and well appreciated by our guests. Melissa a Jasmine both helped wrap up and pack food into containers and pretty much kept the kitchen clean while we got to enjoy ourselves with our guests. We felt very well taken care of and would absolutely bring them back for our next one! Thank you both for all the help!
