Welcome,
Thanks for your interest, and congratulations on your engagement! We are usually hired for wedding receptions and we would love to help with your special day! After you request a quote, we will send you a custom invoice that lists the prices of our services and all the tools we will provide. Once the deposit is made, we will start working on your custom shopping list for the needed alcohol, mixers (juices), and garnishes. We can also provide the mixers (juices) and garnishes for you!
Our bartenders can craft classic or modern cocktails, while our servers can help with all event related tasks such as setting all tables, refilling waters, passing out appetizers, plating food for guests at a buffet style dinner, cutting/plating cakes, clearing tables, and collecting/throwing away trash at the end of the night.
I am grateful you have decided to spend some time learning more about our services. Let me know if I can answer any questions. I look forward to hearing from you!
Kind regards,
Daniel Anastasio

Hello,
Daniel here! I've been in the service industry since I was 18 years old. I have also bartended in a fine-dining restaurant which gave me many skills, such as preparing multiple cocktails at once!
One day, I worked at my friend's wedding. I enjoyed it so much that I decided to make it a small business, serving drinks to guests during one of the best times of our lives. I can't express how happy we are to serve you. Thanks for your time. Let me know if you have any questions!

My wife and I hired Daniel / Best NW Events for our wedding this last June. They did a *great* job; all the setup happened as planned, food & drinks came out on time, they were per...
fectly professional. They also had experience with both our venues and knew the expectations of each, which made things easy.
They handled our nontraditional setup with no hiccups (two different food caterers, a separate rentals vendor, self-serve bar, tea+coffee station, two events over two days).
Oh, and they were affordably priced, with none of the BS fees that you run into all the time. It was a predictable price per person, per hour, for the time that we needed them at the wedding.
Daniel was also available and easy to work with during the wedding planning process, and had great advice about what would work or not (time to set up tables, that sort of thing).
I'd happily work with Daniel again.
