Cantinera was punctual, arrived fully prepared, and had everything set up in no time. She was able to make all of the custom cocktails I requested, not just the usual drinks. She’s a true mixologist with incredible skill and creativity. She was also super friendly, attentive, and made sure every guest had a great experience. Everyone at my event loved her service and couldn’t stop complimenting the drinks. I wouldn’t hire anyone else and highly recommend her for any event!

About Cantinera
LIMITED DATES FOR 2026. NOW BOOKING 2027. Hi, I’m Marina, owner of Cantinera. I believe your bar should feel like part of your celebration—not just a place to grab a drink. Whether I’m serving handcrafted margaritas at a corporate happy hour or creating a custom cocktail menu for a private celebration, my goal is the same: balanced cocktails that aren’t overly sweet, warm hospitality, and a personalized bar experience your guests will remember. I love bringing each event to life through thoughtful details, whether that means incorporating your brand colors, matching your party theme, creating signature drink names, or customizing the look of the bar to fit your celebration. Every event has its own personality, and I believe the bar should too. I’m committed to welcoming people warmly, serving with care, and making every guest feel at home. I’m fully insured with both general and liquor liability insurance, RBS certified, and dedicated to providing responsible, professional service. *A quick note before reaching out: Thumbtack charges professionals for each direct inquiry. If you’re still in the early stages of researching pricing, feel free to review my packages and starting rates here first. If you’re ready to discuss your event and see if Cantinera is a good fit, I’d love to hear from you!
Reviews
I can’t say enough good things about Marina. Best Cantinera ever! I had a Margaritas for Señoritas party and she elevated the event in the best possible way! Every single one of her Margaritas was absolutely amazing. What I appreciated the most about her is that she took the time to curate a drink menu that I was completely satisfied with. She even went above and beyond and added decor to here bar to tie in with the theme. Everyone was raving about it! DO NOT HESITATE TO HIRE HER. You will not regret it. She will definitely be hired for my next event!
Marina was amazing! We hosted a corporate event at a corporate headquarters location, and she brought the entire vibe of our event with her... she was on time, the setup was super cute and professional, cost was reasonable for the above and beyond service she provided. Not to mention, she makes some AWESOME batched cocktails! Overall it was a flawless experiencce. Being over my head planning an event, she took all of the stress out of the process for me. I will definitely be using Cantinera (and Marina) again!
Cantinera brought a whole vibe to my daughter’s quinceañera! They honestly saved the night as our caterers came almost 2 hours late. They brought positive energy and delicious cocktails and gave our guests a whole experience rather than just pushing drinks. I can’t tell you how many guests complimented us on our choice of bartenders. I cannot thank them enough. The whole process of finding a bartender, curating cocktail list, and shopping list was made stress free by Marina. 10/10
Marina was excellent for our event. We had a corporate event we needed bartending services. She was helpful in planning a menu and shopping list. She also brought all the supplies - even more than I could have thought of. She was pleasant and helped out in general around the event. Highly recommend!
