Jess is The Best

Our apartment community hosted a holiday party for our residents. We had 100+ residents attend the event, and boy did Jess and Bridgett deliver. Prompt, ready, and incredibly kind; our residents still rave about them and the service they received to this day. Our residents loved the drink options that Jess Because provided, the highlight of the night? Those Holiday Sangrias. On top of that, they also created beautifully designed and delicious charcuterie boards!
Jess and Bridgett were so kind, communicative, personable, and fun. They were professional, also taking the time to get to know our residents as well, which elevates the experience. We’re so pleased with their customer service, and we will be partnering with Jess Because for future events.
Somethings I’d like to mention specifically about Jess…she is a dedicated planner, and she wants your vision and ideas to come to life. A vendor that actually listens to you, and works with you rather than against you—even when timing comes down to the wire—is top tier. She really committed to helping us meet our goals for this event, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome.

Thank you so much Jess & Bridgett…saying “a job well done” would be an understatement. You went the extra mile, and we’re so appreciative of your efforts and work ethic.

The Best!

Can’t say enough great things about Jess. We hired her to bartend an annual holiday party. She was extremely professional and communicative before our party, even suggesting some perfect drink options. Everyone loved the drinks and Jess. She’s very personable. It was so nice to be able to mingle with guests and know they were being taken care of. Highly recommend. Will definitely hire her again.

Great Experience!

I couldn’t be more pleased with Jess and her services. Planning with her was a breeze. She communicated well and was on top of everything. The cocktails were delicious and all my friends commented on how great she was. If and when I throw another party, I’d have no reservations about using her again. Very thorough, professional and easy to work with.

A Beverage Angel

My husband and I were panicked because we hadnt found a bartender amd were a month out from our wedding date, but Jess was willing to swoop in and save the day, she was truly amazing! Jess worked with us to design the perfect signature cocktails, picked up all of our supplies, and even went the extra mile in coordinating with our day-of coordinator to make sure everything went smoothly and our guests had a great time. Many of our guests were talking about amazing our Bartender was (and those drink were *chef's kiss*) and I'm not at all surprised. This being my first time getting married, at every step Jess was kind, constructive, and realistic about what was needed and what parts didn't ultimately matter. 11/10 would definitely recommend this absolute queen to bartend your wedding.

What to expect

I am very excited to help you from start to finish. You can expect me to be there from talking about your vision until the bar is broken down at your event. I count on arriving early to set up, with my bar kit, and do all that I can to ensure things are clean and put away afterwards. If your event goes later than expected no worries!!! Extra gratuity is much appreciated but not required.
