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!

December 16, 2024Excellent and Very Helpful
I saw Maria at another event and was very pleased with how attentive and helpful she was, so I hired her for a corporate holiday party. She was excellent! She was very personable with guests and helped with clean-up during and after the event. She was such a joy to work with and very reasonably and fairly priced. I'd even say she's worth more!

December 9, 2024Excellent service!
Maria was amazing! Not only did she provide the most reasonable quote on GigSalad, but from the moment I reached out to book her services, she was very responsive and professional. She arrived punctually, provided her own bar table and tools, and treated every guest with special attention. She even went above and beyond tending the bar, and helped out with clean-up!!! I definitely plan to use her services for our next event, and I would highly 100% recommend!
