Bartenders in Santa Cruz, CA

I am a very experienced bartender, and I am fully insured. I provide outstanding, friendly services in the Bay Area and beyond. I will provide you with references, a contract, and my proof of insurance. I mix a mean cocktail, and I have a gift for the gab, which comes from years of being a journalist. Strengths? Mixing great drinks for customers and charming them with my wit.

I develop and deliver custom cocktails for weddings, birthday parties, corporate events, or any other celebration. I use seasonal, fresh ingredients and make all my own syrups, tinctures, shrubs, etc. I enjoy working with my clients to develop a menu that suits their event. I offer a discounted rate to pour simple cocktails (vodka & soda, gin & tonic, etc.), and beer/wine. You can hire me with confidence. I am professional, efficient, and clean. I have 12 years experience as a bartender and 15 years experience in hospitality and I recently managed one of the top cocktail bars in the South Bay. I'm self-insured, LEAD certified, California Food Handler certified, vaccinated, and I speak Spanish as a second language.
