July 6, 2026Poor Pre-Event Communication and Inexperienced Staff
Overall, we had a disappointing experience with this service. Communication leading up to our event was highly inconsistent. In the weeks prior, I sent multiple emails and messages through the GigSalad platform seeking recommendations on a cocktail menu and guidance on the ingredients I needed to purchase. Unfortunately, these requests for consultation went unanswered. I noticed a clear pattern where inquiries regarding paperwork and payments received prompt responses, but questions regarding event preparation and service details were ignored until the very last day.
On the day of the event, the bartender provided was unfortunately inexperienced. Our guests did not have a great experience, and we received several complaints that the quality of the cocktails was poor.
While we were able to get through the event, the lack of pre-event communication and the quality of the bartending fell short of our expectations. I hope the owner takes this feedback as an opportunity to improve their customer service responsiveness and staff training for future clients.

Dear Joseph ,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I want to sincerely apologize that your experience did not meet your expectations, as we always strive to deliver exceptional service for every event.
However, I must respectfully address several inaccuracies in your review, as they do not reflect the reality of our communication and service leading up to your graduation party.
Regarding pre-event communication:
After a thorough review of all our records—including emails, GigSalad messages, and phone logs—we have no record of any communication from you requesting a cocktail menu or ingredient list prior to the event. We respond to all client inquiries promptly, and had we received your requests, we absolutely would have provided guidance. The first and only contact we had regarding specific supplies came through your wife on the day of the event, at which point our bartender was already en route.
Regarding the bartender and supplies:
Our bartender arrived prepared to execute the agreed-upon menu of margaritas and mojitos. However, upon arrival, she found that the available ingredients were far below the quantity needed for your guest count. Despite this, she improvised with what was on hand and did her absolute best to serve your guests under challenging circumstances. We are proud of her professionalism in that moment.
Regarding gratuity:
While tips are never required, they are customary for service industry professionals. Our bartender worked diligently through your event, and it was disappointing that she did not receive a tip, especially given that she went above and beyond with limited resources.
We take all feedback seriously and will continue to refine our processes. That said, we cannot take responsibility for issues that stem from a lack of communication on the client's side. We wish you all the best in your future events and hope you'll consider reaching out directly if you'd like to discuss this further.

June 16, 2025David was great!
I hired David to make cocktails for a private dinner party that I was cooking for, and he did a fantastic job. He showed up early and had everything set up quickly with ingredients and liquor provided by the client. He made unique cocktails for the guests and was a genuine and charismatic person. Will hire again. Thanks David!

David was on time, set up and was very friendly.
The weather was not the best with lots of wind and rain but the atmosphere inside was much better with David’s friendly nature. Thank you for making my sons and daughter in laws day special.

September 16, 2022Great bartender!
David was our bartender for our wedding reception over Labor Day 2022 weekend. He was responsive, courteous, and attentive to our requests. He committed to a long drive from the Seattle area to our venue near Leavenworth. Thanks for making our special day run smoothly!

August 29, 2022We're getting so many compliments from our guests
We hired David for our wedding a couple of days ago. He was amazing through this whole process. He responds FAST. We had tons of questions for him and he was on top of it.
So many of our guests told us how much they loved him and that he had great stories. I honestly hope that I get to see him at another event, so I can chat more than I was able to as the bride.
And our signature drinks? Delicious. Exactly what we were hoping for!
