We hired Mike for our annual Halloween party - he helped us decide on some signature cocktails and we had a full open bar - he can make anything - delicious cocktails! His communication skills are excellent, our guests complimented him all night (many said he was the best we ever had for our event), he arrived early and left the bar area immaculate. We definitely will hire him again, and recommend him to anyone who needs a great bartender! Thanks so much Mike!

Reviews
MJ was fantastic for our fish fry. He was absolutely fantastic! from the pre-event planning, drink menu ideas to the clean setup and prompt arrival. Everything was seamless. Our guests couldn't stop raving about him. I like the fact that he was able to keep an eye on my young adults if I wasn't present. I would definitely use him again and again. He will not disappoint you.
Mike was very responsive. He arrived early, professional, and did a great job jumping right in and making tasty & attractive mocktails and cocktails for my party. Great value too!
Mike Jay (MJ) was a fantastic bartender at my husband's party. He was meticulous about fixing the drinks. Each guest was really pleased with their drink, especially my husband who is particular about his favorite drink. MJ was responsive before the event and was easy to work with. He was punctual and ready to go when the event started. I was quite pleased with his service and would book him again.
Excellent service from setup to breakdown. Very professional, organized, & kind to everyone at the event! Thank you Mike, you were awesome.
Mike was amazing! We needed a last minute bartender and thank goodness he answered! He arrived early, had all the necessary tools, and even bought his own cooler for drinks. He helped set up and break down and was happy and willing to help in any way he could. We were a bit late on starting up and he was so accommodating and kind to stay past the agreed upon time frame. Everyone complimented the quality and speed of the drinks. He was extremely cleanly, professional, and had a beautiful set up. He was an amazing addition to the party and fit right in with the guests. Everyone loved him and we would be lucky to have him back anytime!
Mike was awesome. He arrived at the event in a timely manner. He set up the bar and served over 80 guests. His drinks were amazing and his service was impeccable. I will definitely hire him again.
I had a Mardi Gras Event and I had MJ bartend at the event for me. He was outstanding and very professional. His attention to detail and punctuality to keep the guests having a good time , was well worth me hiring him again 100%. He will not be disappointed at all. Kudos to MJ.
We hired Mike for my husband’s birthday party, and I can’t say enough good things! Every drink was made perfectly, and Mike handled the crowd with such ease and with a smile. Our guests raved about the cocktails—and the service. I would absolutely hire Mike again for all my future events!
Where do I even start! Mike was a great bartender for our daughter’s baptism reception. He showed up on time (earlier actually) HUGE plus! We went over our drink menu a week before. He helped setup and clean up even though he didn’t have to. Hire him for your next event!
