Some Other Things to Expect for the Menu:

Creating the perfect cocktail menu is one of my favorite parts of the process. I start by getting a feel for your preferences, whether that’s specific spirits you love, flavors you gravitate toward, or the overall vibe you want for your event. From there, I put together a curated selection of cocktail options tailored just for you.

Some clients prefer to build their menu around a certain style, like light and refreshing, bold and spirit-forward, or seasonal and fresh. Others like to focus on their favorite liquors such as tequila, vodka, bourbon, or gin. I guide you through both approaches and make thoughtful recommendations that feel cohesive and elevated.

The end result is a menu that not only reflects your taste but also flows beautifully for your guests, balancing variety, creativity, and crowd-pleasing favorites.

I'm a female owned and operated mobile bartending business. While you can hire me to bartend events, I do bar consultant work, bartender training programs, brand ambassador work, and teach cocktail making classes. I also have other amazing experienced bartenders who work for me also.

To see me in action or see my skills, check my Instagram, Tiktok, Facebook page, or YouTube channel. I also have reviews on Yelp under Molly Shakes It Up Bartending Services.

Molly Shakes It Up is a high-end mobile bartending service designed to bring a polished, elevated experience to any event. With 10 years of bartending experience and 20 years in the restaurant industry, I’ve built this business on a strong foundation of hospitality, attention to detail, and genuinely great service. Over the past 6 years, we’ve become known for creating seamless, memorable bar experiences for everything from intimate gatherings to large-scale celebrations.

What truly sets us apart is our approach to cocktails. We focus on fresh, balanced drinks made with real ingredients, using fresh juices and thoughtful combinations rather than pre-made mixers. The result is a menu that feels refined, intentional, and tailored to your event.

While I personally oversee the vision and standards behind every booking, I also work alongside a team of experienced, professional bartenders who represent Molly Shakes It Up at the same high level. Each member of my team is carefully selected for their skill, personality, and ability to create a welcoming, elevated atmosphere. Whether it’s myself or someone from my team leading your event, you can expect the same level of care, energy, and expertise.

We’re equipped to handle multiple events while maintaining a boutique feel, ensuring every client receives a thoughtful and customized experience. Our goal is always the same: to make your event feel effortless, elevated, and unforgettable.

I’m insured and licensed and can work at any venue in San Diego (and have at many!)

Besides messaging me here on Gigsalad, feel free to email, text (fastest response!), or message me on Instagram for questions or availability as well. I tend not to answer phone calls because I prefer to keep all of the event details in writing so nothing gets forgotten or lost! My pricing and packages are located in the photos section.

Thank you,

Molly

I arrive fully prepared with all of my professional bar tools and equipment, so you don’t have to worry about the details behind the bar. I do require a suitable surface to work from, whether that’s an existing bar setup or one I can provide.

If needed, I can bring my own setup, including a 4-foot bar-height table for a more elevated look, along with a 6-foot backup table. Both are styled with clean black linens, and photos are available so you can see how they look at events.

I’m flexible when it comes to layout and can comfortably work in smaller or tighter spaces. The main requirement is a flat surface to ensure everything runs safely and smoothly. Paved or hard-packed dirt surfaces can work if needed.

If you have a specific vision for your event, you’re also welcome to rent a bar that fits your aesthetic. I’m happy to adapt to whatever setup works best for your space and style.
