Hired on Thumbtack

Could not be happier that I found Vanessa using thumbtack. She arrived 45 mins earlier than she was suppose to and helped out setting up. She is polite professional and everyone loved her. She bought buckets, napkins, limes,and so many other things that I don't know the names of lol. Please refer to my photos and check out all the cool lights and bottle holders she bought. She helped us clean up too. We had a 80 people New Years Eve party and everything went off very smoothly. Do not hesitate to hire her - you will be very glad you did! Thank you Vanessa we will be calling you whenever we need a bartender.

Details: 51 - 75 guests • Party host • Holiday party (new year's eve, Halloween, etc.) • Upbeat / lively • Public venue • Beer • Liquor / mixed drinks • Wine • Host will supply the drinks • Venue will already have a bar • Tip jars allowed • Setup / cleanup • Coolers • Ice

Vanessa is top notch at what she does. Her Exceptional passion is obvious when you hire her. She goes above & beyond to ensure her guests have the best experience. I am a repeat customer for over 10 years & she has never lost flavor since. I’m not only a repeat, but there is no other bartender that I have ever referred. Go ahead, I dare you to give her a try, you’ll thank me later
