March 16, 2026Erik is amazing!
Erik helped as a bartender for our recent corporate event. He was incredible. He showed up early to help make sure everything was prepped before we even got into the venue. He brought his bar set up, coolers etc. he helped me plan out what to buy and what quantities I needed, even with some last minute fun ideas too! Super easy and great to work with. 1000% will work with MTC again!

February 17, 20265 Stars!
We hired Erik for a private mixology event, and he absolutely exceeded our expectations. From start to finish, he was professional, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable. His cocktails were beautifully crafted, perfectly balanced, and a huge hit with our guests.
What truly stood out was how helpful he was in getting us prepared ahead of time. He worked closely with us to build a creative cocktail menu, helped us put together a detailed shopping list, and made sure we had everything we needed for the event to run smoothly. His guidance took so much stress off our plate and made the planning process easy and enjoyable.
During the event, he brought great energy and made the experience interactive and fun, walking everyone through techniques and flavor profiles in a way that felt approachable and entertaining. Our guests are still talking about it!
If you’re looking for someone who can elevate your event and deliver a top-tier mixology experience, Erik is the one to hire. We would absolutely book him again.

It was my second time having Erik bartend for one of my events and 10/10 recommend him for your bartending party needs. He brings the vibes and amazing curated cocktails. He asks what your taste and alcohol/flavor preferences are, and develops a menu around that. Having him post up at our party elevated the vibe so much - it felt like a professionally planned party. Couldn’t recommend Erik more!

October 28, 2025Awesome Bartender!
We had an amazing experience with Erik! He was super easy to communicate with from the start, and he created awesome homemade mixers specifically tailored for our event. He brought a ton of creativity to the drinks he recommended, and everything tasted incredible.
He showed up on time, was personable and easy to work with both before and during the event, and even during breakdown.
He’s truly a professional, and our guests loved interacting with him and enjoying his fantastic drinks. Highly recommend him for any event!
