If you need a bar service for your wedding or any kind of event, Bartender 608 will deliver what they promise and So much more. We hired them for a Gala as opposed to a wedding, but I thought it would be important for brides and others to hear how amazing these people are. First, I filled out info for a standard quote, and in return got a perfectly detailed contract of what B-608 could offer based on our request. Everything had been considered and offered in a way that showed me that they are professional and know their stuff. Closer to the date, I conversed with ChinaMoon about what alcohol we'd need to purchase based on the crowd and her numbers were pretty accurate by the end of the Gala night. A few days before the Gala, ChinaMoon stopped by the venue to make sure she knew what was available to them and what they needed to bring, and the day of the Gala, she and her team swooped in dressed in crisp, dark uniforms and were set up in no time. The bar area was beautiful and organized, the staff impeccably clean and well-dressed, and you wouldn't believe how fluidly they made all those drinks! The drinks were well mixed and - something I didn't expect - the skewers were topped with a pretty jewel-bead each! At the end of the night, they also did something else I didn't expect. These friendly bartenders busied themselves with helping clean up plates and other items around the venue when the bar died down. I expected they would simply have down time if it was slower at points, but no, they worked above and beyond, tirelessly, and all of them were so kind and sweet to our guests. Everyone loved the service and were impressed with all they did. Thank you ChinaMoon and thank you Team!

ChinaMoon was amazing, friendly, and down to earth! We used Bartender 608 for our Grand Opening party and right from the first meeting I could tell this would be a perfect fit. She was extremely flexible (I got a last minute call from my boss letting me know that we had made changes to our drink menu and ChinaMoon was able to roll with it and help us out) , super easy to get a hold of and the service from planning right down to pour service was phenomenal. She made sure we had everything we needed and I loved that she offered to plan out our beverages with us, not just expect us to figure it out. She was very hands-on and again SUPER FRIENDLY. I absolutely recommend Bartender 608, they will help make your event great!

Once a client calls or completes the brief event inquiry form; they'll receive a response from me through my Honeybook interface which will include a brochure of beverage service options or a proposal from an item they've already selected. Here you may feel free to select the option best for your event and schedule a tasting* for your desired signature cocktail(s). *Tastings are held in Madison WI.
Every event is different, even if they're at the same venue. There's a lot of time and prep work that goes into each and every one of our events--we don't just "show up and pour drinks." My work consists of handling the quote, discussing by phone, answering emails, talking to counties in and out of WI on Operator's (Bartending) license costs in their area, if any, completing said paperwork, ordering inventory, accounting, posting weekly to social media, hosting tastings, shooting videos, advertising, sending out marketing materials, and, the 2018 Bartender 608 recipe Cocktail Calendar is out!
Greetings!
My name is ChinaMoon and my company Bartender 608 LLC offers Bar Staff for hire for various events; I believe the presentation of the drink, not only its taste, is important. Bartending is a unique job as it involves so much more than 'just serving drinks' at least if you want to do it well. You have to know a whole slew of drink recipes, sure, but you also have to be able to listen. You’re always playing a multitude of different roles and wearing many hats - I am an Intoxicologist & Cocktail Catering Consultant.
After selecting the venue and food caterer, it amazes me how people more often than not, seriously skimp on their bar services. Even if it's beer and wine only service, this area is going to get hit up HARD immediately after the ceremony so you want everything included so 'Uncle Jimmy' doesn't have to run out and grab something because something was forgotten or, people are self-serving/wasting your hard earned money.
With over 23 yrs of NYC & Midwest F&B experience, I do remember to have fun while concocting my craft. I specialize in mocktails as well as cocktails as many do not partake in alcohol; scheduling a tasting is only an email or phone call away!
My business is more than just pouring drinks and making cocktails. It offers a staff consisting of bartenders, bar backs and rum runners (wait staff). Note the importance of having bar backs at events.
“I stress to people that it’s really important to have a bar back at your party,” Crowell said, “because your bartender should be behind the bar serving your guests.”
The bar backs will be able to make sure the bartender has what he or she needs before being asked, clean up tables, picking up plastic cups, sweeping up broken glass, mopping up spills and making sure all the beverages are iced.
