Sue and her team were essential to our wedding! Kept everything running extremely smoothly, so easy to work with, and went above and beyond! Would not have gone so perfectly if it weren’t for her. The guests loved her too. She was very easy going as the details of the day changed and made us feel so confident that she had it all under control

Sue did an outstanding job at my year-end pizza bash. I had 60 people and she was very knowledgeable, prompt, and professional. All of our guests were served in a timely manner always with a smile. She will definitely be hired again to do my next event. She did an outstanding job.

Sue is amazing! She got back to me right away regarding the needs for my event. She had everything very organized and kept the event flowing over the course of the day. She is so friendly and professional. The kitchen was spotless. Definitely recommend Sue and her team! A+

Yliana M.Oct 2025

I will start by saying Sue is amazing. We spoke quickly after my initial outreach and her attention to detail was unreal. She was very accommodating when I asked to set up a drink tasting & the drinks did not disappoint. We tested a Negroni, Gimlet, French 75 & espresso martini. She even suggested us other alternatives and demonstrated profound expertise. I am looking forward to her & her crew being a part of my wedding day. I definitely recommend Sue.

Sue did an incredible job at our holiday party! She provided excellent bar service to everyone. I appreciated her cleaning all of the glasses at the end of the evening, leaving less work for me. I would hire her again in an instant!

Derek S.Aug 2020

Very happy with Queen s bartending. She a a normal night into a wonderful event I will remember for life, my wedding weekend.

Susan was phenomenal! We hit a major speed bump in what we were able to serve and Susan handled it with ease and grace. Her suggestions were spot on and the party was a huge success. It was almost three weeks ago and people are still talking about our “bar” and the professional and personable “bartenders”. Susan and Pam were such a pleasure to work with that my comment at the end of the evening was “I’ve found my mobile bartenders for all of my future needs!” Highly, highly recommended!!!!!
