May 17, 2026Absolutely Fantastic!
We have had many bartenders at our home over last 10 years and I can say unequivocally that Maria (Marita) was the best we have had. She was personable, made fantastic craft cocktails and went above and beyond in every way. Sometimes I intend to write reviews but end up not doing so. I was so impressed with her that I had to leave a review just an hour after the event ended. Highly recommend. She is professional, definitely a hard worker and I’m not thinking you could find a better choice. Book her!

August 1, 2026Two thumbs up!
Marita was fantastic — professional, great communication, made excellent drinks, a pleasure to talk to. She worked with us to create a menu and gave me a detailed shopping list for what to buy. We would absolutely hire her again to be a bartender at a party!

July 8, 2026Marita is a gem!
Marita was available for our 4th of July party and couldn’t have asked for better :)
She helped create fun drinks, came prepared with fresh squeezed juices per discussion, kept everything stocked throughout the night, and was very personable.
We will definitely be using Marita again in the future!
