Any questions?
Our organization hired Elevate Bar Service for an important fundraiser dinner and we are so glad we did!! They were a wonderful crew of bartenders - efficient, pleasant, friendly, professional and very hard-working. Not only was the event per...
formance perfect, Rachel Pry, our event contact, was immensely helpful guiding us to solicit and buy the right amount of liquors in the most economical way. We appreciated her suggestions and guidance. I/we recommend them highly!
I used Elevate Bartending for my sister-in-law's Bachelorette Party in Austin, and I cannot say enough great things about them. From the minute I submitted a request, they were communicative, professional, listened to my requests, made great s...
uggestions and made everything so seamless. The day of, our bartender (Kendra- who was the literal best), was on time, organized, prepared, fun and engaging, we all learned something about cocktail making, and we felt like all the drinks were a little more elevated than just a typical cocktail that we normally make at home. I 100% recommend using them for anything you need throughout the wedding process. Outstanding experience from start to finish.
We love the Elevate team! They were our bartenders for our rehearsal dinner at our family home - they were on-time, very professional, super friendly, and helped our event run smoothly. They went above and beyond for us when our caterers ran la...
te and they helped the other vendor's team set up so that our guests wouldn't notice the caterer's delayed arrival. The elevate team made our guests feel taken care of & we were happy to have them there. By the end of the night they felt more like guests than vendors because they were a part of events and helped everything run so smoothly. Set up and clean up was a breeze - we would highly recommend them!

she's doing!!! During the consultation, she helped us figure out how much of what to purchase so we could stay within our budget while providing enough for our 120 guests. They were also very accommodating during the pandemic and allowed us to reschedule without charging a fee. We highly recommend Elevate Bartending for any event!

Thank you, Jessica! We loved your wedding! It was so great to highlight our amazing Spanish-speaking bartenders. xoxo

Thank you for the lovely review! We enjoyed being a part of this special day for your family! Best wishes!
Elevate Bartending were the perfect fit for our New Year's Eve 2021 wedding. When our catering fell through, they were able to provide 3 servers along with our 2 bartenders, and they all made sure our wedding—which had to be moved outside due t...
o wonderful Omicron surge—went off without a hitch. And Rachel was very responsive and helpful throughout the whole process, not always a given with some vendors! I would recommend them to anyone having a wedding in the Austin area; you will not be disappointed.
The drinks were wonderful, the bartenders were amazing, and the coordinator we worked with made everything go so smoothly!! Definitely recommend!!

Thank you for the sweet words, Taylor! It was such a pleasure to be a part of your special day. :)
Elevate Bartending is an awesome outfit to work with. We spent years (due to COVID) trying to pull our wedding off and Elevate was one of the coolest and most easy to work with vendors throughout all of the reschedules. Several times throug...
hout the planning process, my Fiancée and I commented on "how easy" Elevate was making everything on us; it was greatly appreciated in a very stressful time. Rachel is a rock star and made every piece of planning super easy and removed all complications from the matter. The staff provided incredible service and NAILED our signature drinks. Had we known they were going to do such a good job, we would have doubled the signature drink order as we ran out due to popularity. We cannot thank the entire Elevate staff enough. I really can't think of a single thing that you could want more out of a bartending service for any event.

Thank you, Maria! We love Kevin!
Rachel and the team at Elevate are a dream to work with! As a bride, I knew very little about Bartending services and quantity estimation - Rachel held my hand through every step of the process. She was easy to work with, communicative and came...
in right at budget!
We were able to return some of the unopened wine and liquor after our wedding at the folks at Specs marveled at how close our estimation was, all thanks to Rachel’s guidance!
Our signature drinks were a hit - our guests loved the margarita! Would use Elevate again.

Elevate was AMAZING!!!! We hired them for a cocktail class during a bach party and Taryn was the best! We made 3 delicious cocktails, and I really appreciated how Taryn worked with me to create the menu. A lot of other places offered basic cock...

Rachel and Taryn are the absolute best. You know you're in good hands when your bartenders are the type of people that you'd want to have a drink with! Very thorough communication and on top of everything from beginning to end. We came in with ...
a specific cocktail menu and they created two delicious drinks and an adorable chalkboard menu just for us. I'm sure they work with a lot of clients, but I always felt like we were getting personalized attention. Brittany and Dusty were our bartenders on the day of, and they handled the bar so well, even when we decided to cut our cocktail hour short because of cold weather. I would do it all over again just to have a bar by Elevate! One of the best in town.

Everything leading up to the event was perfect. The recommendations, the way the liquor order was handled, the rapid response to emails.

My in-laws hosted our rehearsal dinner at their house. We hired Elevate to bar tend for the evening. Rachel and Taryn were awesome. During our first meeting they helped us come up with our custom drinks and do estimates for the party. They came...
on site and met with our food caterers as well, to plan where the drink stations would be. The night of the party, the bar tenders were great - kept the drinks flowing and charmed our guests. Would definitely recommend them for any event you are hosting.
Response from the Vendor on 10/26/2017
Thanks for the review!
Taryn and Rachel were AMAZING vendors to work with. To say they tended bar at our wedding would be an understatement. Rachel and I had multiple consultations over phone, email, and text in the months leading up to our wedding. She provided us g...
reat recommendations and advice for our bar service, and took me changing my mind a thousand times with great stride. Rachel made the hour long drive out of Austin to our venue for a walk through and to plan our bar set-up a few months before the wedding, and Taryn jumped in to help us curate some awesome specialty cocktails for our big day.
On the wedding day they truly did not disappoint. They all showed up on time and finished setting up our two bar areas with more than enough time to spare and we're smiling friendly faces the entire night. Everyone at our wedding told us they were AMAZING vendors (and we had a boat load of service industry staff as guests). I even saw some of them walking through the venue and cleaning up empty cans and glasses throughout the night.
If you are looking for bar staff for your next event look no further. Book them!
Response from the Vendor on 10/19/2017
We are so happy to hear how pleased you were with our service! It was such a fun night!
If you are searching for a professional, fun, organized bartending service for your big day, search no further! Taryn and her staff were more than accommodating to our guests, and were such a joyful part of our special day. I have never tasted ...
such amazing drinks in my life! They were both beautiful and delicious, down to every little detail. Even the styling of their set up matched great with our wedding decor. We couldn't be happier with the easy-going, helpful staff as well! All around it was such a great decision to hire Elevate. Thanks again for the great drinks and memories!

Thanks, Holland!
Okay, let's be honest planning a wedding is overwhelming and sometimes getting information and quotes from vendors is worse than a game of monopoly where no one owns a single block (It's never ending and tedious). I messaged Elevate Bartendin...
g requesting additional information and pricing. Within a few hours I received a response. I gave Taryn an idea of what I was looking for and within less than a couple days I had my quote.
I cannot say enough about the delicious signature cocktails we came up with. They were delicious and my guests raved over them! The staff arrived on time with all of our liquor in tow. They were professional in appearance and demeanor. Elevate more than exceeded our expectations. Thank you Elevate Bartending for adding a fun touch to our special day.
