Booze Boss Bartending & Co

My standard rate is $100/hour for most events. If tip jars aren’t permitted, I apply a 25% service fee to help cover gratuity. Because I’m typically fully booked, my pricing is firm. To secure your date, I require a 50% deposit, with the remaining balance due on the day of your event. Clear expectations = smooth sipping! 🍸✨

I love kicking things off with a quick 15-minute discovery call! It’s the perfect chance to connect and chat through your event’s vibe—whether you're going for something elegant and upscale or laid-back and fun. I’ll walk you through our services, explain how everything works, and break down pricing so there are no surprises. We’ll also take some time to brainstorm cocktail ideas together—from signature drinks to creative mocktails—so the bar menu feels just as unique as your event. Whether you have a specific theme (I'm a sucker for a good theme) or want me to get creative with fresh ingredients, we’ll craft something that fits perfectly.

I’m professionally certified through the Minnesota School of Bartending, a comprehensive, industry-recognized program for mixology and bar training. Their intensive, hands-on program focuses on the art and science of bartending, — emphasizing speed, precision, product knowledge, and top-tier hospitality. In addition to holding my TABC license, I bring years of real-world experience across a variety of settings—from upscale restaurants and vibrant nightclubs to intimate private events. This combination of formal training and on-the-ground expertise allows me to deliver a polished, seamless bar experience tailored to any occasion.

I started bartending at 18 to help pay my way through college, working in bars, restaurants, and clubs. Over time, I started getting requests for private events and I instantly fell in love with the energy and joy of celebrating special moments. My business has grown naturally, and while I'm still balancing this passion alongside my tech day job, I feel so lucky to slowly be turning my passion into a full-time gig. I genuinely love connecting with people—and I do it best with a cocktail shaker in hand!

Everyone you can imagine! I’ve had the pleasure of bartending for celebrities, corporate events, cultural celebrations, backyard birthdays, and everything in between. One of my absolute favorite parts of this job is getting a front-row seat to so many beautiful cultures and communities through the events I work. No two parties are ever the same—and that keeps it exciting!

A great bartender isn’t just about mixing delicious cocktails—though that’s important! What truly makes the difference is the energy and vibe they bring to your event. A bartender who makes everyone feel comfortable, welcome, and makes sure that they are having fun can turn a good party into an unforgettable one. So, be sure to clearly share the atmosphere you’re hoping to create—that way, your bartender can match and elevate it perfectly!

Before reaching out to a professional, it’s helpful to think through a few key details about your event to ensure everything runs smoothly and matches your vision: The vibe or theme you want to create: Are you aiming for an elegant, formal affair, a lively party, or something casual and laid-back? Defining the atmosphere helps shape everything from drink choices to presentation style. Preferred types of alcohol and spirits: Do you want a classic bar setup with all the essentials, a tequila-focused menu, or specialty cocktails featuring specific liquors? Knowing your guests’ tastes can help customize the bar experience. Guest count and demographics: Understanding who will be attending—age range, preferences, and any special considerations like mocktail options or allergies—helps tailor the service. Event logistics: Location, timing, and duration impact what kind of setup and staffing are needed. Budget and priorities: Having a sense of your budget and what aspects matter most (signature cocktails, premium spirits, interactive service) ensures your expectations align with what’s possible. Thinking about these details ahead of time makes the planning process easier and helps your bartender or event professional create a seamless, memorable experience that fits your unique celebration.
