Supplies
At a base level, I will always bring my equipment, aka my smile. On top of that, I will bring anything required by the package. This could include pour spouts, wine bottle openers, shaker tins, fine strainers, bar spoons, ice scoops, cutting boards, knives, citrus peelers, trash bags, drink lists, cut fruit containers, coolers for ice, tables for the setup of a bar area, tip jars, napkins, cocktail straws, specialty syrups, etc.
Bartenders' Favorites
Lavender Sky
Best enjoyed year-round, but especially refreshing in the summer! A homemade lavender-infused vodka, with a touch of simple syrup and lemon juice, topped off with sparkling wine and soda water.
London Calling
I’m a sucker for anything gin, but this is a lovely brunch option! A lovely gin, a simple syrup infused with earl grey tea, some fresh lemon juice, and topped off with soda water.
Mojito Royale
A fun twist on a fan favorite! Fresh muddled mint, with blueberry syrup, some fresh lime juice, and white rum, shaken then poured over fresh ice and topped with soda water.
Crimson Margarita
While the name may trick the eye, it certainly won’t trick the taste buds! A home-infused tequila, traditionally jalapeño, and (if you like a little more fire) habaneros are also an option. This spicy twist on a margarita is sure to give your guests a drink they won’t forget and must have another of!
Smoky Mountain
A simple twist on a classic old-fashioned, this is sure to be enjoyed anytime but especially when it’s chilly out. Replacing the sugar in an old-fashioned is always an easy way to up the ante, and in this version the base is smoked maple syrup with bitters. Stir in the bourbon before ice so you get a nice envelopment of all the flavors, top with ice, keep stirring till chilled, and top with a twist of orange and a Luxardo cherry.
Rusty Nail
Not much to twist on this classic cocktail from the post-Prohibition era when liquor didn’t need to be terrible because Uncle Jerry made it in his bathtub. This is a simple scotch and Drambuie over ice, topped off with a twist of orange.

Event Timeline
30 Minutes Prior
I will arrive 30 minutes to 1 hour before the event starts to set up. Putting any liquor, wine, or beer on display; setting up ice; making sure white wine and beer are cold; putting pour spouts on liquor bottles; helping set up anything else as needed.
Start Time
I’ll make sure my area is well set up and all drinks available are on display in some way. I’ll make sure to answer questions within my powers and take on the first rush of the event as all attendees trickle in.
During the Event
If there is any downtime/lull in between a rush, I will go around the event to pick up any empty drinks, pour wine/beer as needed, check on the hosts, and ensure the event is going smoothly.
1 Hour Before
I’ll start breaking down what I can, i.e., washing anything that needs to be washed on my part (glass/plastic holding cut fruit, cutting boards, knives, pour spouts, shaker tins, bar spoons, bar strainers). The event will still be getting service, as the guests come above all else. Just making the cleanup process smoother.
Last Call
If there is a prior event hard end, such as if a wedding venue has a hard stop time, I will do the last call 15 minutes prior and start closing up liquor bottles, putting stoppers in any open wine bottles, and boxing up leftover wine/beer/liquor. Throwing out any fruit, plastic drinkware, or anything that goes into trash/recycling. Guests will gently be encouraged to drink water, leftover wine, beer, or simple drinks. I’ll take out any full trash/recycling, put up any rented glassware in its assigned racks, and bag said glassware up.
End of Night
This is where I will go over any cleanup with the host/ assigned person in charge and make sure nothing else needs to be done before leaving. I will always make sure to intercept the hosts and wish farewells before leaving if possible.
What Do Customers Say?
Frequently Asked Questions
Do You Travel?
Yes. I travel up to 35 miles for an event included, every mile after that is $.50. If the event is further then 4 hours there will also be a hotel room included. For example, from Athens , GA to Charlotte, NC is would be $150.
Do You Offer Tastings
For the premium and no worries package we can certainly work out a paid consultation where we meet to taste some of my pre-made specialty cocktails and go over menus.
Do You Supply Anything?
Unfortunately the state of GA does not allow me to get the liquor needed, but I’m always available, for any package, to answer questions regarding a menu we have set up. I can also answer questions as to how much you’ll need of each item to ensure the night goes smooth.
Do You Supply Liquor?
Unfortunately the state of GA does not allow me to get the liquor needed, but I’m always available, for any package, to answer questions regarding a menu we have set up. I can also answer questions as to how much you’ll need of each item to ensure the night goes smooth.
How Many Times Do We Meet Before The Wedding?
I always would like to meet clients at least once prior to the event, be that over facetime or in person depending on travel restrictions so we can set up base expectations. I will never hold it against anyone if they don’t have time to do this as weddings are incredibly busy and stressful so if you want to leave most of the planning up to me as well, you are in good hands. If you like a bit more control (like I did when I was planning my own wedding) you can contact me as often as necessary!
Do You Have A Minimum For Weddings
I have a minimum of 3 hours, as most weddings go for longer than that, but some other events do not. If you are holding a rehearsal dinner the night before or brunch the day after, those normally take about 2-3 hours. I do not include set up in my rate, but I do include clean up.
How Far Out Do You Recommend Booking Your Services?
Most people have a hard time deciding what package they like for their wedding, so I would recommend about 3 months in advance at least. I also am just getting my feet in the door, so if there is a last minute issue with someone you’ve already set up please don’t hesitate to reach out and see if I’m free!
What Is Your Service Area?
I’m located in Athens, but I will go anywhere in the state of GA, as well as adjacent states.
Do You Offer Help With Rentals?
I can offer insight on the options between glass and plastic at an event, but I do not have any affiliations with rental companies unfortunately.
How Does Tipping Work?
I do not have any automatic gratuity in my pricing as I believe gratuity is a choice. However, all events will have a tip jar on display. If you don’t want a tip jar out we can discuss an increase in pricing.
Are You Licensed And/Or Insured?
You don’t need a license to be a private bartender in GA,SC, or FL. I am required to be TIPS certified, which I am. In terms of insurance I do have general liability insurance.
