With over 9 years of experience in bartending and hospitality, I discovered my passion for bartending in 2012 at the Sheraton Hotel. Throughout my career, I have worked in diverse bars, restaurants, nightclubs, private parties, and more.
My services include traveling, bar setup, cocktail flavors (if desired), bartending, and cleanup. Additionally, I grow my own organic mint for specialty cocktails and am happy to discuss it with you.
Please note that while I do not provide liquors and ices due to traveling, I do offer portable bars and coolers for rent. Plastic cups are negotiable.
To prepare for your event, I require 30 minutes to 1.5 hours (depending on your party needs) to set up the bar, fill ice coolers, cut and present garnishes, and arrange ingredients.
I take pride in creating a seamless and enjoyable experience for my customers and building long-lasting business relationships. Seeing happy guests and successful celebrations keeps me motivated and happy as a bartender.

I really appreciated Vanessa's responsiveness. She aided us in creating the bar menu and provided us with a comprehensive list of supplies and where to purchase them. Vanessa and the bar were the highlights of the party. Some of my guests had these comments to share: "Nico requested a simpler tequila drink, and Vanessa was very accommodating, even making a custom drink with just club soda and tequila. Her efforts were 10/10." "Even when she was finishing up and closing down, Vanessa made sure I got my drink. I give her a 10/10." "She took care of the cleaning and packing up before leaving, and even kept us informed about any excess items. A true professional."

Thanks to Vanessa's amazing bartending skills, my 40th birthday party was the best ever. All of my guests were highly impressed with her and I plan on hiring her services again.

Van is an exceptional mixologist who brought an extraordinary touch to our guests' evening. She arrived ahead of schedule and arranged the bar in a manner that was visually stunning. Our guests were particularly enamored with her gin gimlets and whiskey sours. I would strongly endorse her services to anyone seeking an outstanding bartender.

At our son's engagement party, Vanessa skillfully tended bar and left us thoroughly impressed. As the crowd grew from 30 to 90 people, she effortlessly served her three specialty drinks and kept the bar buzzing. Despite the constant flow of guests, including those seeking kegs, wine, and mixed drinks, Vanessa remained efficient and friendly. Her expertise in bartending and personable nature were appreciated by all. We highly recommend her for any bar job and would gladly hire her again, although we'll be first in line!
