Bailey and her team were amazing. They worked with me to set up specialized Bartending services for what I need. Her team kept the drinks flowing and the people happy. Absolutely recommend them for your bartending needs.

Bailey's team was awesome! Communicating was easy and they helped us get a better package that was less money when our initial selection was more complex than we needed. They kept the drinks flowing and the mixed drinks were perfect: nice and strong, but not over-mixed. Their bar stand setup is great for an outdoor space too!

Dottie Bailey
Owner
For 10+ years I have brought joy to so many of my family and friends by doing what I do best,mix drinks. My business was created out of a leap of faith on my part. I’ve had many special moments in my life occur when I wasn’t ready, but Bailey’s Bartending emerged from a woman shaped by her milestones. I attended ABC Bartending School where I was certified to bartend. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to make a good drink, but it does take that exceptional person with great personality and a flair for taste to make that drink unforgettable.

We hired Bailey’s for our wedding celebration and had an unpleasant experience with someone from Dottie’s bartending team. This bartender was extremely rude to guests, our wedding ...
planner, and even the bride to the point where we received numerous complaints that she was yelling at guests. What is even more disappointing is that we expressed our concerns and feedback to Dottie following the event and she didn’t give any kind of apology for her team’s poor service and even blamed us for having a large event (which has nothing to do with customer service; we also hired Dottie almost a year before the event and if she had any concerns about staffing capacity after we told her the guest count, she did not make that known to us). We have also used Dottie in the past (even as far as almost 10 years ago) so to have this poor experience from her and her team despite us having a longer standing client-vendor relationship is even more disappointing. A wedding celebration is meant to be a joyous time and to have a key vendor cause additional stress and unpleasantness to guests is not something I would wish on anyone.

our wedding reception and all the guests LOVED IT. Highly recommend coming up with a few signature drinks with her instead of an open bar. Very very reasonable pricing per head, way way less than traditional liquor caterers. Plus we kept the leftover liquor! You can stop searching for liquor vendors and bartenders, she can't be beat.

Ms. Dottie was incredibly professional from the get-go, talking through options and explaining everything while we navigated the wedding planning process. She was eager to help with whatever we needed and made sure the night went off without a hitch. Thank you for helping us capture all the fun and making us all laugh and enjoy ourselves with our beverages. Ms. Dottie was so personable with all our guests (many swear they met their new best friend!) From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

my other bartender because they neglected me for a whole month when I asked a yes or no question. Dottie was always friendly and professional. I was looking forward to her working my wedding but I think it was her daughter that ended up working the event. I’m not sure how she did the day of because I was busy (of course) but she seemed super nice and friendly. They also knew what i would like when I came by and asked for a drink. All in all I’d hire again. I’d love to have Dottie do an event for me.

she even went out of her way to go to multiple stores to buy the brands I wanted! She was always professional and our guests never had to wait long for a drink.
