How did you get started doing this type of work?

I've always been fascinated by the art of mixology. There's something so magical about taking a few simple ingredients and turning them into something truly special. When I first started bartending, I was determined to learn as much as I could about cocktails.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Before hiring a bartender, define your specific needs. Consider factors like the type of event (e.g., wedding, corporate event, private party), the expected number of guests, and the types of beverages you want to serve (e.g., cocktails, mocktails, craft beer).

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

Look for bartenders with relevant experience. A bartender who has worked in various settings (e.g., bars, events, restaurants) is often better equipped to handle different situations and customer preferences.
