Introduction

Welcome to a world where cocktails transform from mere drinks into unforgettable experiences! As a seasoned bartender with a passion for crafting extraordinary moments, I bring an extensive array of talents to elevate your event beyond the basics. Since 2016, I’ve honed my craft with renowned companies like Pink Flamingo Catering and Halloran Orpheum Events, gaining invaluable experience behind the bar at restaurants, festivals, and a diverse range of events. From engagement parties to weddings, corporate gatherings to seasonal celebrations, I’ve mastered the art of serving both simple pours and meticulously crafted cocktails to large crowds. With three years dedicated to the craft cocktail scene, I’ve collaborated with distilleries and liquor brands to create signature cocktails that showcase their products at public events. As a Certified Bourbon Steward, I’m not just about pouring drinks; I lead private tastings, offering a blend of education and enjoyment that brings your guests together. Whether it’s a birthday bash for friends or a corporate affair, I ensure every sip is a memory in the making. Let’s create an unforgettable experience for your next event! Find us on Facebook for more info and what expos we will be at this year! Cheers!

Q&A

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

My prices are flexible as I will work with a customer with their event as each event is unique and special. I do have additional hands if the event is large enough requiring additional bartenders, so there are additional fees should more bartenders be required to provide exceptional service for your event. Bringing the bar - $75 -custom built bar to enhance any event Admin service fee covers liability insurance cost, booking fees depending on the size of the event - varies between $50 and up. There is a $.40 per mile fee for events outside of Shelby County. I do not provide the alcohol, I am a dry hire, client provides the alcohol and I provide the service. I am not allowed to sell alcohol so I cannot work cash bars or sell drinks for any kind of event.

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

We will discuss your event and what your ideas are to work with. This is your day you are planning and I am here to help make that event more memorable for you. As they determine what type of bar menu they want to serve and how many guests, I assist with the shopping list of liquor items and mixers if needed so that there is not too little or too much. Once pricing is discussed and approved from an invoice provided we move forward with a deposit to hold the date.

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

- Whiskey Instructor through Whiskey University - Certified Bourbon Steward - 3+ years craft cocktails/mixology - 4 years working with Pink Flamingo having worked well over 150 weddings and events

How did you get started doing this type of work?

I got started in the service industy over 20 years ago and came back to it for a side job for fun but have found that it is my passion to work with spirits and with customer service providing memorable experiences for others.

What types of customers have you worked with?

I have worked public events through event venues I work at, music festivals, weddings, corporate parties/meetings, private birthday parties, engagement parties, Christmas parties, public food/spirits festivals.

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

Ask every question about anything you want to know. This is your money you are spending on your event, find out what the costs are and the reasoning behind something if it is especially high. Don't be afraid to inquire about something you want to know more about or want to know if that can be a service provided. Be sure to inquire and ask for proof of insurance. I have been hearing more and more how many bartenders are working without liquor liability insurance. When working events, this is a must as a business owner!

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

Know what they plan to serve, how long, have an idea of their budget before hand. Ask what is included in the fee for service.
