Introduction

As a New Orleans native, I have a strong passion for the beverage and hospitality industry. I channel this passion into my private bartending business—The Happiest Hours. I bring this passion to each one of my events, making it an unrivaled experience. Professionalism, character, and safety are integral parts of our mission. We guarantee that you will have an outstanding event with delicious cocktails and outstanding customer service. Our services span from weddings, birthdays, and graduations, to dance parties and at private at-home cocktail samplings. Whatever you envision, let us help you make your cocktail dreams a reality. We offer your choice of either a full-service experience, which includes providing beverage supplies and materials (including a full-scale pop-up bar), or partial service, where you provide the materials, and we show up and service the event. Here are some of the services available for the full-service experience: · Custom pop-up bar · Open bar, Cash bar · Custom cocktail menu · Straws, napkins, and glassware · Insured and licensed. I value safety and inclusivity, so I can also curate and serve mocktails for individuals who are underage or do not wish to drink alcohol. Reach out about your upcoming event. Would you like the full Pop-Up Bar or just tools and a bartender? Let us know when your event is, how many guests and for how long and we’ll start planning!

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

I have different packages that I offer. Depending on the experience they desire and hours of the event, we work it out as needed. Discounts are available depending on the event. “Bartenders keep 100% of TIPS”

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

First step is speaking with a new customer. I am a firm believer in building a repor and understanding the vision and expectations for their event.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

Certified Mixology (Crescent School of Bartending and Game) ‘14 District of Columbia Alcohol Awareness Training Certification ABRA(Alcoholic Beverage Registration Administration) Managers License T.I.P.S. (Training for Intervention Procedures) Certification

How did you get started doing this type of work?

Growing up in New Orleans, I was always told you go to college, get a degree, and you get a good job. After completing my MBA, I soon learned that navigating the work industry led to more misses than hits. There was one key factor missing when it came to obtaining a good job, and it was Experience. After working various jobs over the next few years, while looking for a solid career, I decided to master a trade. This desire to find a trade to fulfill my drive led me to bartending. I enrolled at Crescents School of Bartending and Gaming, where I successfully received my Certificate of Completion as a Bartender and Mixologist in 2014.

What types of customers have you worked with?

I’ve worked with and service all kinds of customers throughout the DMV.

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

Have a contract ready so there is no confusion. Make your expectations clear from the start.

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

To make their experiences seamless, customer should have a close estimate of number of guests, location, and if venue has bar. Please have budget estimate and questions about pricing. Please state whether the guests will be providing the liquor or if they prefer the bartender to provide liquor (additional cost).
