Amaro

. He has over 20 years of experience in the bar industry and we were so happy that we were able to have Amaro partner with us on her wedding celebration.

ot so lucky with our date and Dean’s availability! We learned that Amaro PDX typically does a whole custom drink menu spread, so we were nervous our super simple beer/wine set up wouldn’t match with Amaro PDX’s services. However, Dean’s response was an enthusiastic “This sounds like a great time! Let’s do it!” When I say Dean delivered, it’s an understatement! He was so responsive to all our questions and ideas, and he was super easy going! So many guests commented on what a fun presence he was behind the bar! We took him up on the offer to provide a house made hibiscus tea, which resulted in a drink creation collaboration with our guests (shout out to Sue’s Sangria), and when we hit a small snafu with running out of water, he quickly found a solution for us! Numerous times I said to my husband “I’m so glad we booked Dean as our bartender!” Just watching Dean interact with our guests, it is clear he has a passion for this work! He is professional, efficient, and just a top-notch addition to any event!

o meet with us well in advance of the wedding to discuss ideas and budget, and even suggested a tasting event with friends to narrow down our wedding cocktails. The tasting was a huge success; Dean hit the mark with the cocktails we wanted, and our friends and family had a wonderful time. At the wedding Dean and his staff were professional, organized, and fun. The bar looked great, and there was never a line for our guests. We had many folks comment on how much they enjoyed the specialty Whiskey Tea and Blackberry Shrub cocktails. Dean and his team produced some fantastic drinks. We would highly recommend talking with Amaro for your next party or event. You won’t be disappointed!

e no idea but it was amazing)and he topped them with beautiful flowers and cute tiki decorations. Oh and he used the best crushed ice! He had them put together batch style so the line for drinks moved pretty quickly but you still got the fun bartender interaction. Those drinks and Dean will be reminisced on for many many years as they were a huge highlight to our party.

ed and inventive, Amaro doesn’t dissapoint. I can’t wait to have these great people bartend at the wedding I am plannning for!

ect custom cocktails for our wedding, he also was a hugely helpful addition to our wedding day. We decided not to serve champagne at our wedding, still, during speeches he had the foresight to find some bubbly somewhere, and bring us two glasses. He was always available to answer and work through any questions or concerns we had. On top of that, he's just a lovely person to work with and to have around! I'd hire him again in a heartbeat.
