What a delight! Pratima was great to work with. We had a few phone calls and exchanged messages on Thumbtack before the event. She always responded quickly. I greatly appreciated the extra touches she provided -- flowers on the bar(also provided), colorful menu, and pretty disposable cups. Additionally, my guests LOVED her. As guests reached out after the party many of them commented how much they enjoyed the bartender. Also, Pratima's helper, Debra, was a great help with keeping food on the buffet well stocked and the whole party area tidy. Would hire again in an instant!

About Pratima Bartending & Events Staffing
Check us out on Instagram @prjupr12 to see how we turn events into unforgettable memories! Hi, I'm Pratima! đš For 17 years, I managed the San Franciscoâs finest restaurants and bars. Today, Iâve taken everything I learned about service, flavor, and connection and turned it into something of my own. Iâm no longer just managing the roomâIâm creating the experience." there is nothing I love more than walking into a party, getting behind the bar, and watching people relax, laugh, and have the time of their lives. Here's how it works: you supply the spirits, and I handle everything else â fresh-squeezed juices, handcrafted syrups, garnishes, napkins, straws, ice, disposable cups, all the tools, for additional cost and plenty of good energy. My goal is simple: I want you to actually enjoy your own party, not stress about it. Every event I do is personal. I'm not just showing up to just pour drinks â Iâm here to bring a piece of my culture's legendary hospitality to your celebration to make it truly special. Let's chat and create something wonderful together.

I hired Pratima for my parentsâ 50th wedding anniversary party and she did a phenomenal job!!! The drinks were all top-notch, presentation was impeccable, service and preparation were outstanding, and Pratima is such a friendly and interesting person to speak with! She went above and beyond, and helped make the party unforgettable! She is very accessible and responsive, she brings just about everything she needs to make amazing drinks (you provide just the alcohol), and she works with you to tailor the experience exactly the way you want. 10/10 would hire her again!

Pratima was a great addition to our party. Made it very easy knowing a professional bartender was working the event! Would hire again
I hired Pratima for my bridal shower in my backyard, and she was an absolute pleasure to work with. From the start, she was incredibly open to my customizations as the bride, ensuring the drinks and service perfectly matched my Pearls & Prosecco theme. Her setup was beautiful and professional, fitting seamlessly into my back yard space. She and her bar-back provided such a friendly, welcoming energy that really enhanced the all-women vibe of the afternoon. What made the service stand out: Curated menu: Pratima provided excellent recommendations to help create a truly specialized experience. Quality ingredients: The use of fresh juices from Trader Joeâs made a noticeable difference in the quality of the cocktails. Elegant presentation: Every detail was covered, from the fancy fruit adornments and champagne flutes down to the napkins. It was such a relief to have a professional team handle the bar so smoothly. And to top it all offâshe is so kind with a bright smile. She's full of great energy. If youâre looking for a bartender who is collaborative, detail-oriented, and brings a great energy to your event, I highly recommend Pratima!
Exceptional! So smart, polite and highly professional. They were hard-working and take great initiative - when I was running behind schedule with a preparations, without even asking Pratima transformed my groceries into a charcuterie board. I plan to use her for all of my events going forward, and may regret revealing how great she is but you wonât regret booking her.
Pratima and her team were so wonderful. Very professional, responsive, friendly and did a great job at every task assigned. I didnât have to worry about anything. They knew exactly what to do and followed instructions to the minutes. I highly recommend Pratima and her team.
Pratima did bartending at my husbandâs 40th birthday party. First of all she is a stellar bartender; all our guests loved the cocktails. She also went above and beyond in preparing a fun menu based on our theme. She was on time and set up a lovely bar despite the venue having none. Her colleague also constantly helped out throughout the party. Highly recommend Pratima for any party you are planning. You can hire her service and be assured that you are in good hands.
Prat was amazing! We had her for my rehearsal dinner for our wedding. She went above and beyond. Everyone really enjoyed their drinks. She is very pleasant to be around and easy to communicate with. She even made a cocktail menu for our event. She also helped us get an event staff who was amazing. He helped make it super easy and we did not have to clean up much. Super amazing team! I had a wonderful experience using her. I would highly recommend using Prat for any event!
Prat was professional from the very start of our communicationâalways responsive, helpful, and attentive to details. She suggested great options for both cocktails and mocktails and created a beautiful menu for our party. On the day of the event, she arrived on time with her assistant, and together they set up efficiently and professionally. The drinks were delicious, and several of my guests mentioned how much they liked Prat and enjoyed her service.
Highly recommend her.. she made my son party special with the creative menu and fun hosting. I will use her again. I love her set up and garnishes she provided.

Maria helped me with setting up the decor for the party and then attending to my guests once they arrived! Maria was very helpful, the best service I got so far from Thumbtack. I look forward to hiring her back whenever we need help next
Working with Prat was amazing! She was very responsive and communicative from the very start. She responded almost immediately when I had a question or concern about my event. Her staff was punctual and professional. I was very impressed with her attention to detail and would definitely hire her again for my next event.
We hired Prat for my sister's graduation, and they were outstanding! They were incredibly professional, efficient, and proactive, handling everything seamlessly from setup to cleanup.
