Detroit on the Rocks did an amazing job at our wedding. Our guests were coming up to me during the reception and telling me how much they loved the bar tenders! Jeff was so easy to work with and made the process really smooth and affordable. We...

les and lots of excellent bartending! I would recommend Detroit on Rocks for any wedding or other event in the future!They we’re awesome
We booked Detroit on The Rocks without having any prior knowledge on bar services for weddings or anything to expect. Jeff Kurncz is who got in touch with us after we reached out.
He was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and willing to accommo...
date anything we asked for. He also pointed out many changes we could make to save a little money. We weren’t sure how much we’d need having an adult only wedding of 160 people. He gave us assurance that we would have enough and he was right. We had 2 separate bar locations in our venue and the guests all said the staff was great. They were friendly and were nothing but smiles all night.
We had absolutely no complaints throughout the process and we’re happy we chose them for our day.
Any questions?
They are the best!! We just had our wedding at Ypsilanti Freighthouse with Detroit on the Rocks and man did they do a great job! We did beer, wine, liquor and coffee unlimited, within a reasonable price. And lets all be real with each other, mo...
st places were upselling the crap out of poor couples this year with weddings but not Jeff. He gave me a reasonable price without the extra "service fee" of 18% at the end, which by the way brides watch out for that from some vendors and do yourself a favor and don't go with those people. Jeff and his team made our wedding the greatest. Everyone was merry from beginning to end and Ubered or Lyfted home of course. Thanks Jeff!!
Detroit on the Rocks did a great job at our wedding. Jeffrey worked with me over the course of so many emails I lost count to ensure that I was working well within my budget and also that the signature cocktails were exactly what I had in mind....
I didn’t drink much as I was little busy getting married on my wedding day, but I did make a point to have all 3 of our signature cocktails and none of them disappointed! I will definitely be reaching out to Detroit on the Rocks next time I have an event that needs bartending services!
Detroit on the Rocks were 5 star from beginning to end. Really know how to plan on bartending for a large event and staff was completely professional and gracious to all our guests. We had an outdoor, backyard wedding for 200 with two bars, wi...
ne, beer, and cocktails. Jeff went out of his way to have all ingredients for “specialty” cocktails desired. We simply could not have been in better hands.
The bartenders were great from start to finish! We were worried that there would constantly be a line at the bar and, although there was, it moved quickly! We did an open bar and didn’t seem to have any issues. According to our guests, they did...
n’t cheap anyone out on their drink orders which is always good. Note, our wedding was 21+, which makes things easy.
Detroit on the Rocks brought all the mixers, straws, garnishes, and cute add-on’s. We supplied our own alcohol, but they can provide it if desired. Be sure to confirm what size bottles you need because they bring and attach the pour spouts.
The only downside is that we purchased 200 3.5" x 3.5" circle “Please don’t take my drink I’m dancing” coasters and they didn’t fit the cups. Point is, that was the worst of it, so we can’t complain!
Jeff’s team at Detroit on The Rocks is so much fun! Our guests absolutely loved our bartenders.. they were so interactive with our guests, they had fun behind the bar and served some DANG good cocktails. We did three signature drinks & offered ...
spirits/beer/wine — ours guests loved it! Jeff’s team assisted us with berthing to stock the bar from garnishes, ice, cups etc. We wanted to purchase our own spirits/beer/wine due to our profession so Jeff provided us with a shopping list to make that happen for us. 10/10 recommend this team as your bar staff, they had everything under control and left us worry free.
Jeff was wonderful from beginning to the end! Answered our questions promptly and professionally. The servers the day of the wedding were very accommodating and professional! Very happy with our entire experience with Detroit on the Rocks! We h...

I appreciate the patience and professionalism they had with us as we were a post poned celebrations with lots of changes.

I highly recommend this team, I have now had them for my own event and have also seen them in action as a partner vendor for clients. They will be my go to every time.

our big day was exactly what we wanted. He created a grocery list for us when we asked if we could provide our own alcohol. He was completely open to our idea of using a huge ice luge to pour drinks down. When we ran out of certain types of alcohol on our wedding night, his staff was so kind to run out to the store to get more for us! The bartenders who worked our wedding were awesome! We even received compliments from several guests about how friendly they were. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better bartender service for our special day. We 10/10 recommend Detroit on the Rocks!!

Detroit on the Rocks provided an amazing bar service. Jeff was so helpful during planning and more than accommodating to all of my requests. There was never a line at the bar and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how great the drinks were ...

Thank you Abby. We had so much fun. Cheers!
A vendor that clearly stood out from the others! I worked with Jeff to establish the bar service, and helpers for event setup / tear down. Since everything had to be brought into the venue, I was at a loss of where to begin. Jeff was extremely ...
professional, very helpful, patient and responsive as he helped us tailor services to meet our desires. I had tons of questions and Jeff answered them all and provided additional information that I did not know to ask. He is just an upstanding man and so very helpful! I highly recommend this company. You will not be disappointed.

Thank you Kristin. It was a pleasure serving you on your special day. Congratulations again!
During wedding planning, my now-husband and I came across Detroit on the Rocks as a referral from our caterer, and I’m so grateful. Neither of us really drink alcohol, so we felt pretty clueless about the process. Jeff did an incredible job p...
utting together a package that would be unique to us, appealing to our guests, and budget-friendly. He was easy to talk to and had so many great ideas to make everything fun and easy.
Going through with a COVID wedding was stressful in a lot of ways, but Jeff and his team went above and beyond to make our guests feel comfortable and also have a good time celebrating. We originally had a self-serve flavored water and mocktail station planned, and they were happy to put everything behind the bar to make it safer. They even planned a hot and cold coffee bar everyone raved about. Many of the guests complimented how professional, friendly, and fun the bartenders were. Part of our reception included salsa lessons, and between serving, the bartenders were doing the moves along with the guests!
I wouldn’t hesitate to hire Detroit on the Rocks again for future events. Their professionalism, creativity, and fun attitudes were a memorable part of our wedding, and most importantly, they helped our guests to have a great time!

I wish there were more stars to give for this wonderful team! From the beginning, Jeff was prompt, professional, and patient with us. He was there every step of the way and gave great advice on how to proceed with things we were lost on. On our...
wedding day, the staff went above and beyond to make sure our guests had a ball! We were married at the Belle Isle Casino which required all vendors to be handled a la carte! We worried about how well they would all work together and to our delight, Detroit On The Rocks had seamless service! The cynergy between them, our DJ, the coordinator, and the caterer was amazing! You would never be able to tell that they were all separate vendors. They came around to help clean, they served our wedding party, the sign for our signature drinks was so awesome we took it home to frame, and oh btw....drinks were AWESOME! I also recommend getting their custom made bar! It really made the look come together for the bar area. Nothing but great things to say about this team! We will be customers for life!

Hired Jeff and his crew for my daughter's wedding earlier this month. We weren't from the area where the wedding/reception was taking place, so we really had no idea who to book. On the recommendation of our caterer, I gave Detroit On The Roc...
ks a call. I could not have been more pleased with how everything worked out! They were super
easy to work with and very accommodating. Even when I added the hot chocolate bar last minute because the weather turned cold! Jeff knows his stuff and gives great advice on what you will need for your number of guests. The bartenders are polite, competent, and quick. Everything was set up on time and ready to go as soon as the ceremony was over. Our guests didn't have to spend much time waiting in line for a drink, but could instead enjoy the reception. Need a bartender for your reception or party? You won't go wrong with Detroit On The Rocks!
