CDE was fantastic to work with from start to finish! They were responsive throughout the planning process and helped us put together the perfect menu, making sure we had everything we needed for the event. Kara did an amazing job on the day — she set up quickly, was warm and friendly, and made the whole experience seamless.

Reviews
Showed up on time, stayed in contact day of helped tell us what we needed and did a great job.
Our office hosted a happy hour, and we didn't realize we needed a bartender until the day before the event. I reached out to CDE due to their glowing reviews and I'm so glad I did! Craig got back to me quickly and luckily Kara was available to come. Planning was thorough and Craig's responses were fast. Kara arrived on time and had her professional bar set-up done in no time. She was personable, professional, and a fantastic bartender. Highly recommend CDE for your events!
Had a great experience with Kara and Craig! Kara was right on time to get set up and made great conversations with our guests as she made drinks for them. Drinks were great and timely. Both her and Craig were very responsive and well priced.
Craig and Kara were amazing! We threw my mom a 65th birthday party. He helped me create a signature cocktail, provided a liquor grocery list and came with everything else needed to make the bar a success! Everyone enjoyed their pours and it exceeded our expectations, would definitely recommend and hire again!
We originally hired Criag's team for an even in 2018. We were super impressed and hired them for our coporate Happy Hour in November 2019. Craig was detailed oriented, planned and very professional. Him and his team helped put together the entire bar experience for our happy hour with Architects and engineers. Really well presented bar, awesome tasting cocktails, attention to detail and a pleasure to work with are all things I would say about CDE! Sorry I don't have any images of the bar, but here are a few images from the event, to give you a flavor of the elegant and tasteful affair the CDE was a great partner in.
Thank you for making my husband’s 50th birthday party a success! Everyone had a blast, the drinks were great, and Kara was very professional!!
I have a go to bartender that I always use that could not do my event. Craig handled my party very well and was extremely professional. His attention to detail makes it very easy to pick the right drinks for your guests and he was very accommodating. I am definitely going to utilize him in the future. My guests were extremely pleased!!
I am extremely impressed by this company. They showed up early to the event and were very professional. I would recommend them to everyone who does events. I have hired other companies in the place but CDE exceeded all of my expectations. This will definitely turn into an ongoing business relationship.
Chris helped me in finalizing the bar menu and needed quantity. He created special bar menu flyer for my Diwali Party. Chris came an hour earlier and bar was ready before the party start time. His signature drinks were liked by all guests. I will hire him again for my next party.
