Skylar was so awesome! Went above and beyond at my baby’s birthday party. Definitely the only bartender I’d book for all my events a the only one I’d suggest to all my friends and family.

5 STARS ACROSS THE BOARD! We absolutely loved working with Skylar. He was very responsive from the get go, answered all of my emails, stayed in touch via text as well as jumping on a couple of calls to go over the fine details of our event. Everyone at the party loved him! My only regret is I wished we could have used him for our wedding, but we are so happy to have found him for my Prom 40th Bday Bash. I highly recommend Skylar and his team and will surely be using him again in the near future for upcoming events. If you are looking for great service, extremely personable & a very friendly bar service company, look no further! Bartender-Plus is it!!! Mahalo nut Skylar for making our event a hit and keeping our guests hydrated:)

Such a great experience! We had Nicole as our bartender for a large summer party of friends and family. We were thoroughly impressed with her bartending skills. She came fully prepared with everything that we needed for the setup. We provided the alcohol and flavored ingredients but she provided fresh fruit and fruit juices and all of the tools. Nicole was keeping everyone satisfied and entertained the entire night! We couldn’t have asked for a better bartender for our event.

Skylar bartended my wedding and did an absolutely incredible job! He showed up early, brought all of the necessary bar supplies and garnishes for our drinks, and gave us great shopping advice beforehand (we bought our alcohol at Costco). We also had a signature drink recipe and Skylar fine tuned it so that it tasted amazing. We got amazing feedback from our guests on the signature drink and Skylar’s service all night. His bar set up looked so professional too. Thank you for everything, Skylar! I would recommend Bartender-Plus to anyone in a heartbeat!

I can't say this enough: Hire Bartender-Plus for your event. You will not be disappointed. We hired Bartender-Plus to provide bartending services for a wedding. We found Bartender-Plus through a phone app and reached out to them based on reviews posted by others who had previously hired them. Skylar was quick to respond to all our inquiries about pricing, options, and services that they could provide. The event that we were hosting was a themed event and we asked Skylar to provide a list of suggested specialty cocktails that would fit the theme. Skylar collaborated with one of his employees Devin and provided many options that we then were able to chose from. Once we landed on the list of cocktails Skylar provided a detailed shopping list of what we would need to provide, including liquor types, suggested brands, quantities and where to purchase. Skylar was great about communicating in a timely manner and took my phone calls when I had questions. For the day of the event Skylar and Devin were right on time for when we had agreed upon. The portable bar they brought and setup was very professional. The garnishes, glassware, serving containers, and the entire presentation was fantastic. Both Skylar and Devin were very friendly with all the guests. There was never a line to get a drink and the signature cocktail they recommended were a hit. So much so that we would have run out of liquor for one of them. However, seeing that we were likely going to run short, Skylar took the time to run to Costco (15+ miles away) to purchase another bottle so there was no interruption to service. Everything about Bartender-Plus was fantastic. They made everything effortless for us at our event and even offered to help with things other when they saw a need. All our guests commented about how great Skylar and Devin both were. We don't think things would have been quite the same without them and will definitely hire them again for all our upcoming events. We cannot recommend them enough! A+ service!
