rtender was punctual, professional, and kind!
Things were a bit chaotic—we still needed to set up a table for her, bring down the alcohol, and take care of a few last-minute details—but she was so patient and understanding. Her calm demeanor made everything so much easier.
I would absolutely use Drink Slingers again. Thank you, Kenny and team!

We heard nothing about great things for drink slingers! We were very excited and in constant contact with Kenny up until our day. Kenny is extremely friendly and knows his stuff. W...
e are bummed thought because our specific bartender (I think her name was Justine) wasn’t good. She stopped making one of our signature cocktails stating she ran out of ingredients after we had requested the amount to purchase multiple times. Okay, no big deal. Then we asked her to put a champagne bottle on every table. I found out after the wedding that did not happen and I’m left with 12 bottles of champagne. Then I purchased $400 in drink toppers to be placed on EVERY cocktail. She only placed about 50 on random cocktails most people didn’t even get one. No rhyme or reason as to who got one. I’m now left with $350 drink toppers with our engagement pictures on them. That was a huge highlight of the night and it was tainted. Very bummed. I also had guests complain of her being rude. When I talked to her she seemed nice, but I was also the one wearing white and paying her. Just overall so disappointed, mainly about the wasted items and money. We love Kenny, just not the bartender we received from him.
Big shout-out to Ken and his team that helped make our wedding reception a huge success! They were friendly, quick, and professional. Couldn't have asked for more!
Showed up on time for our 9/24/22 wedding and knocked it out of the park! We got married at my family’s farm, so we weren’t sure how to go about bartending. They carry their own li...
queur liability which was a huge relief for the owners of the farm. They coached on what and how much to buy which was so helpful. Anytime I called or emailed with questions they got right back to me. The bartenders were friendly and made awesome drinks. So worth the money!!
Hired two bartenders for my wedding this summer. They were both great! The company is really easy to work with and their staff is reliable. Definitely reccomend!

which was a very nice relief to have! Jordan and Sarah were our bartenders and everyone LOVED them. I got so many compliments throughout the night! The bar is such an important part of a wedding, and I am so glad I chose Drink Slingers.
P.s. I had a lot of heavy drinkers at my wedding, and the girls handled them so well!!
This company was great! They are so inexpensive compared to other places, the bartenders were friendly, and the owner gave me a pretty accurate count of everything I needed to buy!

ly as it did with over 200+ guests. It started with the planning, where we brainstormed the best options for our budget, our guests, the season and the number of people were were looking to serve. His team arrived well before they needed to and were ready to serve our thirsty guests! His team was so accommodating, making sure the ice was fully stocked and that the liquor and beer weren’t going to run out. I cannot tell you how many complaints we received about the Drink Slingers and how they treated our guests. Our dance floor was packed, people were happy and it was hands down one of the best nights of my life. HUGE thank you to Kenny and the Drink Slingers in being a huge part of our day and making things stress free from the bartending side.
