Overview

Professional bartender and Event Manager with ten years of experience crafting cocktails. I've travelled the West showcasing my skills as a barman, foodie writer and sous chef. I'm your go-to for corporate events, VIP cocktail parties, weddings and grand openings. I genuinely love being around people, making them smile with my spicy margaritas. My ninja skills behind the bar, on camera instruction, production management, cocktail creation, and quick-as-lightning service fits any intimate setting or packed house.

When I'm not behind the bar, find me in my kitchen making Paella or sweet talking Bull Trout on the Metolius River

Always smile with your bottom teeth :)
Cheers,
Sean

Good communication

Sean was very easy to work with and clear about what we needed to provide for our event and what he would provide. Leading up to the event, Sean kept in touch regarding alcohols, mixers, and utilities he would need at the venue.
Although interacting with him minimally in person, my guests provided some constructive feedback that Sean’s mixing skills were inconsistent throughout the evening - at one point providing two of the same drink at the same time prepared with vastly different ratios. Perhaps some measuring tools could be used in the future.

UPDATE:
I see how good communication in a professional relationship is important for success, and looking back on all of our correspondence I see that I answered all questions and requests for information in a time that was fitting for the situation. Our one gap in communication was the time between receiving a list of potential drinks to buy and actually buying them (I could not tell you what we had purchased until we had actually purchased them).
So perhaps I was erroneous in assuming your communication was decent, when clearly there were expectations on your side that had not been communicated adequately, else they would’ve been provided. Not to mention you missing my call at the time we had scheduled isn’t a sign of “good communication”.

But none of these aforementioned issues (regardless of whose side they were on) should have resulted in the poor preparation, inconsistencies, and incredulous attitude my guests experienced at our event — not to mention your defensiveness when faced with any sort of questions about why the drinks were prepared the way they were.

Nathan,
I have not had a single client in over a decade review me less than 5-star (except in one case where I was double booked) So that means somewhere in the range of 40-50 wedding clients specifically. Not to mention rave reviews about my drinks and especially my communication skills which you literally first praised, and then edited as some kind of weird about face. Give me a break- I was very honest about what transpired and you opt to bend reality to fit your opinion. Many of my reviews are housed within this website, as clear as a bell for you or anyone to read. So it is abundantly clear to anyone that your attempts to cover up for your lack of professionalism, communication, tact are the cause of your less than stellar bar experience. I don't have the time or the patience to debate with you any longer. How about don't have a person in your wedding party also be the wedding coordinator and also be the vendor liaison? That was an enormous part of your problem, and you seem to be utterly disconnected from the reality of what was needed and expected. Never seen that in 10 years, a wedding party member run over from the ceremony and attempt "coordinate" and yet literally doesnt even know where the glassware or wine is?? Also how about being proactive about your own wedding instead of letting your friends scramble for you at the last minute? I have nothing more to express and I am very happily busy in a role I have been very successful in. Good luck bud

FANTASTIC!

Sean was a lifesaver. After our bartender pulled out of our event last minute, Sean was able to fill in on a couple of hours' notice and brought with him a level of professionalism and attention that heightened the ecperiencer of all of our guests. Finding Sean made all of the stress worth it! I could not recommend him enough!

Sean is the ultimate bartender!

We had a birthday party at our home for about 35 people. Sean was a true pro serving all kinds of drinks for my guests. He is friendly, personable, and very professional. Sean also provided me a list of items to purchase to make the evening great which helped a lot. Sean even offered to clean up and stay a bit longer for our guests. I would highly recommend Sean for your next event.
