Introduction

I love what I do and I always give 100% effort when bartending a party. Relax and enjoy your party, and let me take care of the bartending. But there's more. During lulls at the bar, I'll go around to pick up dirty plates and glasses, take out garbage, and anything else for party maintenance. Feel free to contact me with any questions.

John contacted me two days before our wedding and offered a fair price. We didn’t know if we needed a bartender for our wedding, but the service John provided was outstanding and made the night perfect. You need look no farther John is the best you will find. I can not say thank you enough for his professionalism and care during the event. Would definitely hire him again in the future.

John was great!!! He was punctual (came early) and professional. The guests loved their drinks and when he wasn’t serving them, he was helping clean up and passing out waters. I will use John for all our bartending needs in the future! Highly recommended!!!

John was the hit of our party. He made our lives so much easier. He worked nonstop between making drinks at the bar, helping clean up, ensuring everyone had a drink, and taking out the garbage. He was on time, polite and hardworking. We actually had time to visit with our guests. The entire party loved him. If you are considering getting a bartender, do it and hire John. Honestly, only good things to say!

John was the consummate professional. Everyone had nice things to say about the bartender. Whether it was swinging drinks or helping clear plates or passing out bottled waters to keep the guests hydrated, John was awesome all over. Highly recommended.
