Our bartender was very professional and was on time! For coordination before the event, Bianca was who I worked with. She was very professional and worked with us on signature drinks and how much alcohol and mixers we needed to purchase! I would definitely use them again!

She was engaged to manage the bar for a private house party of just over 40 guests, and she handled the entire event with remarkable composure and efficiency. Service flowed seamlessly throughout the evening — guests were attended to promptly, and wait times were minimal, even at peak moments.What truly set Bianca apart was her ability to go beyond standard service. She took the time to understand the theme and atmosphere of the event, and used that insight to craft a selection of original cocktails that authentically reflected the vibe and ambience of the occasion. The creativity and thoughtfulness behind her menu choices did not go unnoticed — it elevated the overall guest experience considerably.Her technical skills behind the bar were impressive, and her professional demeanor throughout the event was consistent and commendable. She managed a high-volume, social setting with the kind of calm confidence that only comes from genuine expertise.We look forward to working with Bianca again at future events and would not hesitate to do so. She comes with our highest recommendation.

I got in touch with Bianca about a bartender for my parents' 50th anniversary party. She got back to me quickly, was very professional and responsive during the very busy graduation party season, on somewhat short notice. I was immediately impressed. She was able to accommodate us and we were extremely fortunate to have Megan bartend our event. Megan arrived on time, and more than prepared! We provided the beverages and ice, but she had her complete bartending arsenal ready to go. She truly went with the flow, had prosecco pours ready for a semi-impromptu toast, provided excellent cocktails and service with an amazing attitude, went WAY above and beyond her bartending duties, and was just genuinely delightful. I would recommend Bianca's company and Megan as a bartender to anyone and everyone. I've attended many professionally catered large-scale events and conferences all over the country with full-time professional bartenders, and Woman in Black matched them all in quality and professionalism. Utmost recommendation.
