Reviews
Vanessa was awesome! She was prompt, attentive and all the guests complimented here. If I had another event, I'd hire her.
Vanessa was amazing ! Very communicative and came early to prepare. She put a lot of thought into the set up and design of the bar. Our party was a Halloween party and she brought wonderful accent pieces related to the theme. You can tell she cares about what she does. She was very friendly and professional. I will certainly hire her again!
Excellent
Vanessa was A+++! She came more than an hour early to set up her station under the 102-degree heat. A week before the event, we had a call to discuss some of the details and she made great recommendations on things that I would need. She did bring everything that she has listed here - you can see it from the photo, she even brought her own table/table cover/lightbox. None of those were mine besides the alcohol and the cups. Vanessa also took note of my preference and had a themed table set up. She even dressed accordingly in my theme color! And she made great drinks! All my guests love the spritz that she made. And look at the customized table sign (I didn't even ask for it she made it for me). Overall, I would highly recommend Vanessa - professional elegance all around.
I hired Vanessa for my baby shower and from the beginning she was so responsive and attentive. She listened to what I wanted and made it happen like my pregnancy mocktail signature drink. Vanessa was punctual and friendly but also professional. She added her special glam to my baby shower by matching my butterfly theme and came super prepared. You have to hire her for your event!!! I know I will definitely use her services again!! Thank you Vanessa YOU ARE A GEM!!!
Vanessa made a very special day even more special with her professionalism and outgoing personality. Everything from assisting with the birthday surprise to clean up. Anyone looking for a top notch bartender should look no further. Thank You for making this event a blast!!
Could not be happier that I found Vanessa using thumbtack. She arrived 45 mins earlier than she was suppose to and helped out setting up. She is polite professional and everyone loved her. She bought buckets, napkins, limes,and so many other things that I don't know the names of lol. Please refer to my photos and check out all the cool lights and bottle holders she bought. She helped us clean up too. We had a 80 people New Years Eve party and everything went off very smoothly. Do not hesitate to hire her - you will be very glad you did! Thank you Vanessa we will be calling you whenever we need a bartender.
Vanessa is a true professional. From the moment we hired her through the changes in our schedule, she has been in communication and flexible. We highly recommend her and look forward to working with her in the future.
Everything was done well and professionally
