The bartenders we got were Scott & Dinah. At first they were so nice and amazing. Towards the evening Dinah was absolutely amazing from her personality she was so nice. Scott became very forth coming and noticed he seemed to care about is getting paid and what time he's there till. He gives off a rude demeanor that I received from my guests. & everytime he spoke to me it was all about money and making sure I paid him! Dinah was very understanding and made sure I had fun. Overall, they got the job done but customer service needs to be more about attitude and how they are with the bride and groom. & the guests.
I second the review below that you get what you pay for. I also chose this company for affordability. Scott certainly put minimal effort into the job. We weren't doing any complicated bartending- we just wanted someone to serve the beer and wine and prep the champagne toasts. Scott did show up on time and he did pour drinks for the evening but I think he was rather under-dressed and unenthusiastic.
Most importantly, several of my family members reported to me after the wedding that they found him to be rude! He gave attitude to my mom (probably not knowing she was the one that was paying him) and managed to tick off two of my aunts with snarky comments.
My advice- spend a little more money and get someone who actually wants to be there and will help improve the atmosphere of your wedding.
You really do get what you pay for. The primary reason we decided on Bartending by Mallard was affordability. While their service did not negatively affect our wedding in any major way, we were not impressed. They were late and underdressed. They watched as my bridesmaids poured drinks into beverage dispensers (in their dresses!) and were generally minimally helpful. They displayed their business cards on our gift table- I didn't notice until photos. The bartenders also tried to offer me and my groom marriage advise- yikes!
Amanda and Heather were our bartenders for our wedding and they were awesome! Very friendly and helpful and went out of their way to make sure my husband and I had everything we needed ( drink wise that is)! Scott was also great and easy to communicate with through out the planning process. Great price for the service. I would highly recommend!
