December 6, 2025BEST BARTENDERS EVER!
We've worked with Lily and her team for our VIP parties two years in a row. This year, we had whiskey/wine tastings instead of a regular bar, and K did a phenomenal job of picking up on product details and engaging with guests. These ladies don't play around, they're experienced, high energy, and bring the best vibes. If you're looking for bartenders who will elevate your party or event, Tap Tender is the way to go.

June 19, 2025Wonderful Experience
We hired Lily to bartend my grandmother’s 90th birthday party, and she was absolutely amazing! From start to finish, she was professional, friendly, and on top of everything, the drinks were delicious and beautifully made. So many of our guests commented on how great they were. Lily brought such a calm, positive energy to the event and handled the crowd like a pro.
She took the booking on short notice, which we really appreciated, and helped make the evening feel smooth and celebratory. We’ll definitely be keeping her in mind for any future events. Highly recommend Lily for any occasion—she truly made the night special!

Omg! Lily and TapTender really exceeded my expectations! I had so many (in my opinion) ridiculous demands and not only did they handle me with such sincere care, they went above and beyond to make sure my event went without a hitch! My guests and I were so impressed with their hospitality and kindness! Literally so much fun! The jokes and drinks were rolling all night. A special thank you to Lily for checking in and making sure I was satisfied with everything throughout my event! I can’t wait to host another party just so I can have them as my bartenders again lol. I can’t rave about them enough. You definitely won’t be disappointed booking TapTender!!
