Barbara and her team were simply amazing! They provided bartending services at our wedding welcome barbecue, serving around 100 guests. The entire experience was flawless, as they had a stunning setup and even took care of the cleanup before they left. We cannot express our gratitude enough for their contribution to our special day!

We were exceptionally pleased with the service we were provided with at our wedding reception. The bartenders were punctual, well-equipped, amiable, and went beyond their duties of even helping tidy up tables towards the end of the event. Our tables were never deprived of beverages, and our invitees' thirsts were always quenched. If you seek bartenders for your upcoming event, we strongly suggest hiring this business.

To commemorate my husband's 40th birthday, we threw a piano party with an attendance of about 40 guests. Though I had never collaborated with a mobile bar service prior to this, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Barbara was fantastic during the planning phase, and Tabbitha was an exceptional bartender. She decorated the bar exquisitely and added unique touches, such as tropical flowers in the cocktails, dry ice, and a whiskey smoker. Furthermore, she surpassed our expectations by lending a hand with other errands whenever she noticed us occupied. I am eagerly anticipating our next rendezvous with Bar 51.

Outstanding! I cannot emphasize enough how exceptional Bar51 is. Barbara keeps in constant communication with you leading up to your event to guarantee that everything runs smoothly. I was already blown away by her stellar service, but when Chris - the bartender - arrived to work at my celebration, I was in awe! It has been several days since the event, and my guests still cannot stop raving about the incredible drinks he served. He was professional, punctual, engaging and ensured that the refreshments kept flowing throughout the event. Without a doubt, my event was a huge success thanks to Bar51, and I will definitely be using their services again. We had an absolute blast! Thanks once again Bar51! 💞 #StillFeelingTheAfterglow 😄😄
