I found E&k Professional Bartending on The Knot and communicated with them through there to begin with. They made it super simple to communicate and get a quote. Anytime I had a question, Ean was quick to respond. Sarah was very nice and professional. I could not have ask for an easier experience or nicer bartender than what I had. So very pleased with my experience with E&K Professional Bartending.

E & K Professional Bartending was great! They did an excellent job at our wedding. They showed up on time, had the bar beautifully set up, and had cold drinks when guests arrived. They were so fun and took fantastic care of all our guests. Multiple guests told us that our bartenders were "the best." They also made time to take special care of us as the bride and groom. They knew our drink and had it ready and waiting. Shana and Brandis were so much fun and provided top-notch service; we highly recommend them for any event.

We had the best experience with E&K. Ean was fast to reply and had great recommendations regarding what to serve our guests. Ean and his crew handled every detail so that we didn't have to worry about a thing. E&K are underpriced for the level of service they provide. Cannot recommend them more!

We hired E&K Bartending for our rehearsal dinner and they did a fantastic job! Katie was our bartender and she was very personable, attentive to our guests and made sure everyone was served quickly. I worked with Ean during the booking process and he was quick to respond and helpful in giving us estimates for our beer and wine we needed to purchase. I highly recommend E&K for your next event!

Excellent group to work with! They helped me choose exactly what we needed for the wedding, keeping my budget in mind, and then showed up, set up, and served our guests without any hiccups. Then packed it all up and loaded the leftover bottles in our car. Wonderful service and well liked by everyone at our reception. Plus we really just liked them all so much! So personable! Highly recommend if you want your bar service to be easy and flawless!

Ean was professional and fun. Somewhere in the night, we ran out of some ingredients (self-provided, not sourced by E&K) because our signature drinks were more popular than we’d planned. Ean made some swaps to keep the night going. Would definitely book again!

E & K Bartending did an amazing job providing a cash bar for our sorority spring formal. We contacted Ean only two weeks before our event and he was more than willing to help. We were able to figure out the timing, drink options, and the logistics very easily. Drink requests were made ahead of time and our guests were thrilled to see a wide variety of options at our event. Non-alcoholic drinks were also offered and came with ease along with everything else. We loved having Ean be a part of our spring formal and would definitely recommend for other events as well!

Ean was fantastic. His professionalism is top notch, and I immediately felt like he’d take care of us for our wedding after our first conversation. I had an approximate idea of the amount and type of alcohol I wanted, and Ean helped us really hone in how much to bring in, helped us workshop our couple cocktails, tracked down our specific beer preferences and provided brand suggestions for items we knew less about (wine).
Come wedding day, our eyes went WIDE when we tasted the mango margarita and whiskey smash. IT WAS SO GOOD. And according to our guests, they agreed, and they went FAST. They were impressed that they weren’t just pouring from a big batch jug but actually taking the time to shake over ice and garnish individually - the personal touch and attention really went a long way to making the experience stand out. Ean also, after a bunch of coaxing from the now-rowdy guests he had made friends with, hit our dance floor to a roar of applause. Finally, Ean also knew who the DD's were that night, and made sure they never waited for their own sodas and waters. He took care of everyone that night.
When people talk about our wedding, Ean and his amazing cocktails and amazing dance moves are part of the story, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. 100% recommend for anyone looking for a vendor for any event, wedding or not. We want the margarita recipe Ean! Thanks again!!!

ne we serve and no extra charge for the few dance moves🤣. The recipe, I add my own twist to it so it is not something you will find online. Here is a recipe I used for the mango margarita.
1 part(2oz) of Tequila
2 part(4oz) of Mr T Margarita Mix
2 part(4oz) of Looza Mango Fruit Nectar
2 part(4oz) of Master of Mixes Mango (Cocktail Mixer)
Always Drink Responsibly and Don't Drink and Drive!!!

E & K professional bartending is the best company to work with. I hired them for my wedding and everything was perfect, plus two flights of stairs were involved! Ean had to literally hunt for weeks for the red wine I wanted for my wedding and did it without complaint. He also was great at managing our guests and was dancing and keeping spirits up! The communication throughout the planning process was impeccable and he helped make our wedding night fun. I can't recommend them enough, but Ean specifically was a jewel on our day. Book them!!
