of alcohol your particular crowd will consume and how quickly. Sometimes the crowd starts off very strong and multiple bottles of wine need to be open in advance to serve your guest quickly and efficiently. If the bottles if wine are not twist caps it can be time consuming to open a bottle of wine.  Same with the mixers, when you have 2 bartenders serving two seprate lines each bartender needs their own alcohol and supplies opened to serve your guest quickly and efficiently. The only way to truly eliminate waste is for the bartenders to share everything and to open one thing as they go as suggested. Unfortunatley this would cause more of an issue because your guests would be standing in long lines all night because they are sharing supplies and they would have to wait for the other bartender to get done using that juice before they could make the other guest a drink with th same juice. Or wait for them to get done pouring a glass a wine before the other bartender could pour a glass for its customer. Again, we do our very best to contain your cost and we are sorry you had some waste this is never our intention. However, we hope over all you had a great experience and it was a pleasure and honor serving you and your guests.

ent which we were unable to fill due to the volume of events we had that weekend already with other couples. If this service would have been added prior to the event with all the alvohol choices you wanted we would have been happy to accommodate. We try to accommodate everyone's requests but we do have guidelines and dead lines we have to stay in to ensure all our Couples that book with get the service they deserve. As for the bartenders hourly pay. As with any business there is overhead. When a AC or mechanic charges you 40.00 an hour to work on your AC or car problems the worker does not make the whole 40.00 the company charges you. Our hourly rate for our staff covers our time with you during planning emails, phone calls, office rent, electricity, insurances, tastings, AND AT YOUR SPECIFIC VENUE ice and coolers, the list goes on and on it basic fundamentals of busibess. For you to assume that our staff makes 150.00 before lifting a finger is presumptuous, our staff make a fair hourly rate which is not $40.00 an hour as assumed. We do ask for a base gratuity of 50.00 for our staff because unfortunately guests do not carry cash to weddings and our staff works very hard and they are in the service industry and this guarantees them some sort of tip. There are countless events if that 50.00 wasn't added they walk out with less than 10.00 for serving 150 people for 5 hours because no one has cash on them. We do appreciate the review it does help us to let other couples in the future to know that we might need to explain to them that we are a pro profit business and that our staff doesn't make the total cost of hourly that is charged.

ers and Margaritas. You did not order nor did you pay for sweet and sour mix it was not listed on your invoice. Unfortunately, You assumed that the sweet and sour mix would be included due to it not being on there suggested supplies to purchase, there was also other supplies not listed on your suggested list that you still purchased with out us suggesting it. Your invoiced listed 2 bottles of liquor of choice as suggested amount of additional liquor. It did not say whiskey, So we never knew that "Whiskey sours" was your signature cocktail until we arrived. Your tasting was for picking Margarita flavors not Whiskey Sours, you may have spoke of whiskey sours during your tasting as a drink you were going to serve, but you did not order nor did you pay for the ingredients for a whiskey sour. We let a family member know that it was not purchased by the bride and groom for us to provide and they did go buy some. You said in your email we "forced" the family to purchase this supplies, we only told the family for us to serve this signature drink we would need sweet and sour and they choose to go get it. As far as the margaritas you were told that only 2 bottles of tequila and 1 bottle of Triple sec was needed for the margaritas, you choose to by 4 or even possibly more no proof of how much was submitted to us to confirm. Our staff made the Margaritas with the appropriate amount of alcohol that you provided as they always do. You also stated you bought triple sec for the whiskey sours in the email to us. However triple sec is not used in whiskey sours, and you did not mention that the triple sec was not used. Therefore that leads me to believe triple sec was put in the margaritas as well as the the tequila needed for the amount of margaritas we made that evening as we always do. We have no reason to not put alcohol in the margaritas. You purchased your own alcohol why would we not use it. Your family and guests expressed great appreciation to the bartenders for going above and beyond and even received many compliments on how great the margaritas were. Our staff even cut off 2 of your guests that were drinking only margaritas that night. We fulfilled our contract which is YOUR INVOICE that you viewed multiple times online, plus received an email copy and hard copy and you even sent a picture of to me in your email REFEREEING to and you claim here that you claim you didn't receive a contract/invoice.

tunately we will ask our wedding planner for another recommendation for bartenders. We heard great things but this certainly fell below the level set by other vendors.Regards,Brandon Brandon, I am sorry you feel this way. Unfortunately, we had prior appointments that ran a little behind due to them being a little late. We can not control every ones tardiness. Also, I specifcally addressed you asking if you were a tasting or consult you said tasting and I said Charlie would be with you guys next. So we did acknowledge you. Unfortunately, 5 minutes after you leaving it was your turn. We would have been happy to compensate you for your time for we do understand every ones time is valuable. We wish you well and hope you find the best fit for you. I thought it was best to post the emails so everyone can make their own judgements of the situation stated above in the review. As we value all potential clients, booked clients and even past clients. It's never our intentions to make any one wait, we understand everyone's time is valuable. Could we have done things differently today, certainly, we will take this situation and learn from it and change a few things.

he didn't know our pricing she was estimating. Pricing given to you and then Bryant was different because you did not ask for the exact same quantity when he called and you emailed. Your pricing was different lastly because we actually through in the cups for free for you guys. As for the alcohol calculations we can only give clients estimates based off the information provided to us. Which we ask you how many people do you feel will be beer drinkers, Wine drinkers and liquor drinkers. If you give us a certain number we estimate one drink per hour per drinking guest off the number you provided. This is not an exact science, it's an estimate only.
