Abby went above and beyond, bartending our big wedding! She was responsive, so easy to communicate with, and just a joy to have as a part of our day. I can’t recommend her enough.

It was such a great pleasure to have Abby bartend my 21st birthday. She arrived before time allowing her to prepare all her things, she was very helpful and would respond quickly to my messages whenever I needed help on getting things for the drinks. Such a wonderful and kind person not to mention her drinks are the best as well! Everyone loved it and we all appreciated the hard work she had done. I can’t wait to book her again and would highly recommend to anyone as well. Thank you so much Abby! 😊

Details: 26 - 50 guests • Birthday party • Upbeat / lively • Private residence • Liquor / mixed drinks • Bartender will need to bring the bar • I'm flexible • Setup / cleanup • Disposable cups

We had a great experience with Abby for my 60th birthday celebration on July 13th and we all had an amazing time!!! Abby’s knowledge of the bartending industry is untouched. She advised me on the alcohol list for my bar, provided drink suggestions and created a personalized drink list making it easier for my guest to make selections. Very professional and attentive as well as reliable and prompt in responses. I would have selected all 5 items listed above!! Abby was very receptive to my signature drink which was Peach or Apple mootini’s…(martinis made with moonshine🤣🤣) All of my guests loved her (and her co-bartender!!). Highly recommend and would definitely use her services in the future!….Thank you Abby!!!

Details: 76 - 100 guests • Birthday party • Upbeat / lively • Public venue • Beer • Liquor / mixed drinks • Wine • Non-alcoholic beverages • Bartender will need to bring the bar • Tip jars allowed • Setup / cleanup

Sherry, we enjoyed your crew so very much! It's hard to call it work when you have the fun we did with you all. Everyone wholeheartedly treated us like family. We felt more like insiders than out, lol. I'm sorry we didn't make it to the fish fry the next day but we can't wait to hang out with you all again. Wishing you all the joy one year can hold, beautiful!! 🥰

Abby was amazing from the start of my planning! She not only had advice for what to provide for liquor at my wedding but she was also kind enough to offer advice for other things regarding the wedding. She was an awesome bartender, very lively and supportive of my needs throughout the entire process! I would recommend Abby to anyone!

I CAN NOT write enough about these folks. They made our wedding a BLAST. This is the second time we have worked with Abby and Jermaine. I will not be using anyone else ever for a party. So kind and welcoming. Show up on time and make sure that everyone has a blast until the end. I can promise they will not only be fantastic bartenders but will also just be fun to be around. They make you feel like family. I normally am not the one to write a review but I felt the need to make it known.

A Bar Where You Are's reply

Jared.... you are the absolute BEST dude. I appreciate you immensely. Jermaine and I ALWAYS have such a GREAT time with you guys. I'm kinda bummed knowing you are all married now, lol. We need you to find another reason to let us pop your bottles. We send you and Rachel all our love and wish you both a life full of happiness!! 💓🥰💓
