Great experience! I would definitely recommend her to my friends and family.

She did mix the drinks better than I could have, and was proactive and friendly, helping out for the party even outside of bartender duties given the small number of guests. However, she used AI to generate cocktails and drink menus, leaving me to fix them myself. Communication could have been more clear.

Zuzu was available for our small baby shower gender reveal party at such short notice. She was fantastic with bartending service, catering setup, clean up and everything. Definitely will call her again!

Zuzu went above and beyond for us. She is warm and kind, everyone that came to my parents’ 70th birthday party loved her. She also was so helpful with serving the food and cleanup while not serving drinks. I would recommend Zuzu to anyone. Don’t hesitate to book her for your event!

Zuzu just bartended my wife’s 50th Birthday in our backyard. We hosted over 50 people and she crushed it. Not only did she bartend, durning times that were slow she walked the party and taking drink orders and helped cleaned up. We had multiple guests take her information for future events they are hosting.

We hired ZuZu for our wedding of 100 people. She did fantastic work for the price. She was very sociable and quick at making drinks for our guests. We were supposed to purchase all of the drinks and ice ourselves, but there was a problem with getting the ice between when we could get it there and when she'd be available (the ice would have melted by the time she got there) she went out of her way and offered to get the ice for us! After she closed, she cleaned up the space VERY well. If I ever need a bartender again, I'm definitely going with her!

ZuZu was amazing! After speaking with her, I knew she was the one to bartend our Halloween Party. The guests loved her and she even helped clean up while she made some amazingly tasty drinks. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a top notch bartender, reasonably priced, with a great sense of humor. Thank you so much ZuZu for making our party a hit and a day to remember always. ❤️

Nichole was the bartender for our Wedding last Saturday and she completely exceeded our expectations. She is professional, enthusiastic, and experienced. She was very responsive and gave honest recommendations. The Signature drinks collection she offers is pretty extensive and we only asked to see Vodka, Rum, and Sangria based drinks. We chose the Front Porch Rocker, Classic Hurricane, Blueberry Mojito, and Black Cherry Sangria. Not only did we love them, but our guests drank every last drop of them. She gave us a detailed and accurate shopping list and even offered to provide some of the items. She really had it together and even showed up the night before to get all set up. She brings so much bar tending equipment, you literally just need to bring the alcohol and ice. We highly recommend her and, without doubt, be the first person we would contact to bartend again.
