Hello!
I'm your personal Beverage Buddy, Nathalie. You can take me on the go, mobile, and anywhere your event is. I specialize in regular bar service and can make several mixed cocktail drinks (i.e., Spicy Margaritas). Not only can I bartend - but I can serve and ensure all your guests are enjoying your cuisine. When it's time for your Beverage Buddy to depart, your bar area will be cleaned with bottles of water on display for your guests to rehydrate. Choose me for your next event! I promise you that your bar service will be a rapid delight.

September 5, 2025Nathalie bartended for our 70-person wedding and was amazing all around. She was very accommodating in bringing our bar vision to life and offering the menu we envisioned, which included wine, beer, classic cocktails, and a custom signature cocktail. She went above and beyond to ensure our guests had drinks and water throughout the entire evening. She was professional, efficient, helpful, and positive and played a hugely important role in our wedding day. We would highly recommend Nathalie for your next event!

May 5, 2025We found Nathalie through Gigsalad. She's kind, sociable, and professional at the same time. She was active in checking in prior to the event, and checking in and even made suggestions for our future events. It was our first time hosting an event let alone a venue, so it was all new to us. It was for our baby shower, 1-5pm. We had 50+ guests, handful of kids but the rest were thirsty adults :) Thank you Nathalie!

Thank you Jennifer. You are your husband were lovely to work with and bartend for such a special occasion. It was a pleasure to serve you and your guests (family and friends). I wish you success and lots of happiness. You have my business card. Please feel free to reach out again for future events. I welcome you to share my contact info with your family/friends should they ever need a bartender in the future.
All the best!

June 20, 2024Natalie bartended at my wedding back in August 2022. Her rates were exactly fair especially with only a few months notice from the wedding date from when we had first spoken with her. We were very lucky she was available. Natalie arrived on time and ready to help whenever we needed her. She was very friendly and accommodating. She went above and beyond to make sure everyone was having fun and helped with clean up.

You can expect from Beverage Buddy, Nathalie, the following:
1. Early arrival (approx. 10-15 mins)
2. Prep bar area using my fully equipped bartending kit*
3. Smart Serve Qualified (over five years of experience, I've served at
various events, including Birthdays, Engagements, Weddings,
Christmas, Summer Backyard, Baby Showers, and more. No matter the
occasion, I'm ready to serve.
3. Clean the bar area before departure (with trash taken out and water
bottles on display for your guests)
4. Throughout the event, I provide a few complimentary shot drinks
(mixed flavours)
5. I do my best to help avoid long waits or line-ups - I've been told I'm
fast!
*If your event requires some prep time, the maximum time for arrival is 1/2 hour before the event start time.
My name is Nathalie Boivin, and I work full-time in the event, marketing, and sales industry. I have been in my career profession for at least 18 years and am currently studying part-time at Durham College to enhance my skills.
My personal goal is not only to live and enjoy life, but I also like to hustle. I have a fantastic side gig, bartending and serving on weekends. Whether the event is on a Saturday or Sunday, I am there for you, ensuring you and your guests are happy. I'm part of your party but on the other side of the bar and have been doing these bartending gigs for over five years. I'm focusing more recently on solo acting as your personal Beverage Buddy. I welcome you to check out my website, enjoy.
A little bonus: I can speak "Tourism French and Spanish". I'm not fluent in these languages but I can have a few minutes of conversations.
For now, that is a little about me as I have some living to do, like stand-up paddleboarding (in the summer), skiing (in the winter), Traveling when on vacation, and spending time with my friends and family. Take care.
Good lighting.
