Classic Cocktails was absolutely amazing! Bailey was so wonderful to work with throughout the entire process. She was incredibly responsive and always encouraged me to ask questions or reach out about anything I was stressed about so she could help. That made such a difference while planning a wedding!
She created a great shopping list based on our guest count, helped us put together a fun custom drink menu based on what we thought our guests would enjoy, and even made the cutest custom cups. Once we booked with Classic Cocktails, I truly did not have to worry about anything bar-related, which was such a relief.
Our guests also LOVED the bartending crew! I’ve had several people come up to me since the wedding specifically to tell me how fun the bartenders were and how great all of the drinks tasted. It was so nice knowing that our guests had such a great experience too.
I would 100% recommend booking with Classic Cocktails. They made the entire process easy, stress-free, and fun from beginning to end!
I highly recommend Bailey and Classic Cocktails! Her communication was quick and professional from start to finish. She arrived on time and had the bar set up quickly. Bailey was friendly and efficient serving during our company Christmas party. We plan to use her again next year!

Hi! My name is Bailey, and I have been in the restaurant industry for over 13 years! I was tired of working for "the man", so I became the (Wo)man! I'm a little goofy, but also serious when need to be! I love Love and believe everyone deserves it! When I'm not behind the bar, I like to stay active and go on walks, ride my electric bike to a park, to the gym, or to yoga! I also enjoy traveling, and my favorite type of vacation is Cruise Ships! I have a golden retriever named Leo, and he also helps me stay active! My morning routine doesn't start until I have a cup of coffee in my favorite mug!
