REVIEW

5/5 stars June 24, 2017
Anton was awesome to work with...and an excellent mixologist!!! Our guests were so pleased at our June 10th, 2017 event. His "mocktails" for the pregnant mama were on point! Great personality! Anton, my husband and I can't thank you enough! We look forward to working with you at our BBQ next year! - Erika E.

If you are looking for a professional, friendly, and all around excellent bartender, look no further! I can't believe how lucky I got to find Anton for my wedding. He was able to work with my budget and bar specifications (we had a wine-only bar). He also went above and beyond by creating a syrup for a mulled wine ahead of time and bringing it to the venue. I really appreciated that he was easy to communicate with and very fast at responding to emails. I was able to discuss different ideas of what we would need and how much wine and other drinks to buy for the number of guests we were expecting. As for service at the wedding, Anton was excellent. He was 100% professional and I heard many nice comments from guests about how well organized everything was. I can't think of anything he could have done better!! Thanks very much Anton!

Raymond from Dr Mix-a-lot bartended my party this past Saturday. I had about 65 guests and Raymond did an outstanding job. I was so pleased by the number of guests who came up to me and told me what an amazing job he was doing. Everyone complimented me on the service and quality of drinks. He was absolulteyl competent and so very pleasant. I would definitely hire them again.

Working with Anton was awesome! He was polite, respectful and extremely helpful to me. I had never hired a bartender before and didn't know what to expect. I don't know if he got sick of hearing from me or not because it seemed like I always had questions for him. He was accessible, patient and calming. He provided a list of drinks per person, which was very helpful.
I had a surprise birthday party for my husband at a community center and everyone I talked to said that he was the ultimate professional. I would recommend him highly to anyone looking to hire an outstanding bartender. Denyse Malden

Fantastic service! we used Dr mix-a-lot for a B-Day party with 40 people. Anton was very helpful in the preparation and tailored the service to fit our needs perfectly. Nick, our bartender, was both professional and fun, and elevated the party to a next level. I strongly recommend Dr Mix-a-lot, and I will definitely call them again.
