I wrote this as a Google review but I wanted to share it on here too, so that it may reach more people:
I could not have been happier with the service that was provided at our wedding November 2nd. Joseph and Brenda were personable and reliable throughout the whole planning process. They were kind, professional, and really took care of what we needed. At the event, drinks were fantastic (we did a couple of mocktails and margaritas), all of the staff was incredibly kind, outgoing, and fun. We had several guests compliment their drinks and their service. We would HIGHLY recommend hiring Craftenders for your bartending needs.

I was skeptical about having alcohol at my wedding because my groom and his family don't drink but Craftenders gave us the perfect combo. My side had cocktails while his had sparkling grape juice. Joseph and Tyrell were professional yet fun and kept the drinks flowing for everyone. The drinks were great and they put bubbles on top which was a hugh hit. I love that they were very communicative with my venue.

I shared my vision and theme with Mr Craftender and he created a custom menu and drinks with my photos and theme in mind! My guests were pleased with their experience and almost a year later have not stopped asking me about his services. He was very detailed in advising what my package included and no hidden prices. Cannot wait to utilize his services again

I cannot express how amazing it was to work with Craftenders! We hired them for our annual holiday party at our house and they were easy to work with and always replied in a professional and timely manner. We were lucky enough to have Nesha for the event and she outdid herself. She was professional, a joy to work with, and personable. All we heard from our guests was how amazing she was. We will definitely be working with them again!

Would you like a standard bartending service or would you like an epic one? I hired Craftenders and I have to say that they were absolutely fantastic! From start to finish, the bartenders were friendly, detail-oriented, and a pleasure to work with.
Throughout the planning process, they were incredibly responsive and attentive to all of our needs and preferences. They worked with us to create a customized cocktail menu that perfectly complemented our wedding theme and preferences.
On the day of the wedding, they arrived early to set up and were well-prepared to handle the large crowd of guests. The bartenders were professional, personable, and interacted wonderfully with our guests. They kept the drinks flowing and even offered suggestions to guests who were unsure of what to order.
Overall, I was extremely impressed with the level of service provided by this bartending company. They went above and beyond to make sure that our wedding was a success and that all of our guests were happy and well taken care of. I would highly recommend this bartending service to anyone in need of a professional and friendly team for their event.

We hired Craftenders for our wedding back in Nov 2021. They were everything! Everyone LOVED our cocktail menu! We recently rehired Craftenders for our birthday party that we had yesterday, 1/7/23. (My husband and I are both Capricorns and our bdays are 3 days apart! 🥴) It was a small party and again Joe showed up and showed out! As long as he will have us, we will remain faithful clients! 😂 Can’t recommend him enough! You won’t have any regrets! Thanks friend! 💙

Craftenders Event provided bartender services for our rehearsal dinner at our home. The bartender made the night perfect! He was punctual, with a quick setup, had all the garish, and mixers needed. He was very knowledgeable about making various alcoholic and non- alcoholic drinks, and professional.
We will definitely use their services for the next dinner party. It removed the stress of making our guess drinks. We were able to soend that time entertaining them.

Craftenders are amazing! They were so detailed and kept communication throughout the whole process with us. They listened to our needs and wants and catered to them. A lot of things went wrong on our wedding day, including the power going out, but I never had a single issue with Craftenders. They adapted to the situation and kept everyone happy. They did a phenomenal job and I would hire them again any day! Thank you guys so much for being something that went right in our wedding day. 🙏
