Embrace the Grape bartended our wedding and completely exceeded my expectations! Jane and Misty were great at communicating throughout our entire process. Our bartenders, Jimmy and Jess, provided full-service bartending for our open bar at our wedding. They were super attentive to our guests, extremely pleasant to work with, and just went above and beyond to ensure our event went smoothly. I did not have to worry about one thing! I would recommend Embrace the Grape for all events!

Thank you Taylor! We loved working with you too!
Embrace the Grape was good! There are different pricing options for every wedding. We did the call liquors, with varying add-ons of cost, like margaritas. There was an option that asked what the brides' drinks were, and I am unsure why. We were not served and had to go to the bar to order our drinks like everyone else. Overall, though, I liked it.
Response from the Vendor on 08/19/2024
Hi Rachael! Thanks for your review! We ask about your drink in case your planner or a bridal party member comes to the bar and jusat asks for a "drink for the bride". This way we know what it is and can serve you more efficiently.
Jane and Misty from Embrace the Grape were AWESOME. Easily one of our best, and most accommodating vendors. And out of the beverages vendors we looked into, they were the most affordable and offered the best options. I would throw a wedding, or large event, again just to have them there!
Response from the Vendor on 10/11/2023
Thank you Maggie! I'll pass your kind words on to your bartenders too!
Any questions?
If you are in the KC area, this is the company to hire. I started talking to Jane over a year ago. They are organized, pay attention to details and are always on top of things. My son was married on 9/23/23. They were on time ( actually a little early ) They unloaded everything within a few minutes. By the time service was to start they were prepared and ready to go. Both bartenders smiled through the entire evening and were friendly to everyone. I talked to MANY companies that didn't supply the drinks, only served them and I didn't want to deal with all of that. I wanted a nice carefree experience. I got what I wanted and the price was reasonable. For the service we got, I would have paid more. Guests loved the open bar and the bartenders. Amazing experience.

Thank you Kelley! You were super easy to work with. I especially appreciated that you didn't over react when the USPS took it's sweet time delivering your final payment to us! Cheers!
I utilized them for my 9/9 wedding this year and was blown away with their customer service before and during the event. I changed my mind on what I wanted and how much I wanted several times over the last year and Misty / Jane were always willing to accommodate without any issue. The event itself went flawlessly and I can’t recommend them enough for any of your upcoming events.
Response from the Vendor on 09/25/2023
Nikki! Thank you so much for the kind words. We loved working with you and wish you all the best! Cheers!
Jane and Misty were absolutely AMAZING!! We used them for our wedding reception and they completely exceeded our expectations! They were extremely easy to communicate with and made the planning process so easy! They thought of everything. They were even able to accommodate my request of serving a “boozy” hot chocolate prior to our ceremony. All of our guests were extremely happy with them and the service they provided at our reception. I can’t recommend them enough!!
Response from the Vendor on 12/26/2022
Thank you Katie! I'm so glad you and your guests enjoyed the boozy hot chocolate!
This vendor was THE most professional, succinct, and polite to deal with during the planning. They respond quickly, are clear and concise in their language, and they delivered great service during our reception as well.
Response from the Vendor on 11/06/2022
Oh Melissa! Thank you, thank you, thank you! We loved working with you and A Secret Garden is a wonderful place to get married! Congrats!
Embrace the Grape was our bartender for our whole ceremony/wedding and they did a fantastic job. Responsive communication, very punctual and friendly. Bartender was fast and our custom couples Moscow Mule was delicious! As the bride, I didn't have to worry about anything! Could not have asked for more.
Response from the Vendor on 10/28/2022
Thanks Aly! We love to hear when our brides have a worry free day! Cheers!
Embrace the Grape provided excellent bar service at our wedding! I worked with Misty and she was extremely responsive and very easy to work with. From coordinating the event/timelines to execution everything went perfectly. The bartenders were efficient and there was never a line at the bar with people waiting. I would highly recommend Embrace the Grape as a bar service for your event or wedding.
Response from the Vendor on 10/27/2022
Thank you Bailey!
They were all super easy to work with!! They were very accommodating to my fast-approaching date and it being on a Monday. They were familiar with our venue too. Misty was wonderful to have at our wedding!
Jane, Misty, and the Embrace the Grape Team were INCREDIBLE to work with. Leading up to the event, they were very quick to respond and provided all of the information that we needed. They quickly answered all of our questions and were very helpful in helping us decide the best beverage package and menu options that made sense for our budget and group size. They were extremely budget-friendly and were even willing to get creative and brainstorm a really fun signature cocktail + incorporate local options from KC in our menu for our out-of-town guests to enjoy. Highly recommend this vendor for your wedding and/or event– there was never a line at the bar and we couldn't be more grateful. Can't wait to work with them again!
We were recommended this vendor by the Knot website, Janice and Misty were wonderful. We had a fantastic time and we couldn’t be happier with this vendor. Janice is super nice to work with, she would go out of her way to meet us with a sample package so we could try the special drinks, we got a lot of complements on the those special drinks they made. One of them is Manhattan and it is delicious. I was sad that I was too busy and couldn’t have another one of those!
Everything was fabulous! Definitely recommend this vendor!!!
Response from the Vendor on 12/23/2021
Thank you An! It was fun for us to get creative with your signatures and provide options for you and Stacy to try at your leisure! All my best to you!
Highly recommend Embrace the Grape for any of your bartending needs! Jane and Misty were absolutely wonderful and answered all of our questions and concerns during the planning process, and worked with us diligently to make sure we had everything we needed before the wedding. Very professional staff, and wonderful service all around!
Response from the Vendor on 11/04/2021
Thank you Cinnamon! You and Tristan were amazing to work with too! And I loved seeing the two of you together as guests at a different wedding. Cheers!
So happy we went with embrace the grape! Jane and Misty were responsive, accommodating, and professional. We had a request of red sangria and they DELIVERED. It was so delicious! I highly recommend this company for any of your upcoming events either in STL or KC.
Response from the Vendor on 10/05/2021
Thanks Lindsey! Our house made sangria is yummy for sure! So glad you and your guests enjoyed it!
Highly highly recommend Embrace the Grape! Jane is just a pure delight to work with and was so friendly. Jane and Misty answered all my crazy bride questions as they came up during the planning process and went above and beyond. Jane was our bartender and our guests loved her! She was interacting with everyone and was just so much fun!! Would 100% recommend hiring Embrace the Grape for your next St Louis event!!
Response from the Vendor on 10/05/2021
Thank you Becky! It was a wonderful evening and I absolutely enjoyed the two of you and your guests!
Embrace the Grape was easy to work with and provided amazingly professional service for my son’s rehearsal dinner. Monica was our bartender and made our party special. I can’t say enough good things about all of their staff and service provided.
Response from the Vendor on 09/02/2021
Oh goodnesss! Thanks for your wonderful words. We absolutely loved working with you too!
Jane, Misty, and the Embrace the Grape team were AMAZING and so fun to work with!
They were attentive, kind, and understanding especially due to the number of times our guest list fluctuated due to COVID-19.
If you are a couple looking for an amazing team, look no further! Embrace the Grape is the best...and so were those spicy margaritas!!
Response from the Vendor on 06/01/2021
Thank you, thank you! I'm so glad you LOVED the spicy margaritas! It was fun to craft a drink for you and your guests.
Embrace the grape was amazing at our wedding! They accommodated to our special drink request, they had all the mixers, and we got a lot of choices for the price! The staff were so great to work with along the way as well. 10/10 Would recommend!
Response from the Vendor on 05/26/2021
Thank you for your wonderful review! We completely enjoyed working with you too! Cheers!
These guys came with our venue and I was a bit skittish at first. However, after working with them, I'd recommend them to anyone. Jane and her team were truly amazing. We had numerous special requests for our specific event and they accommodated us every step of the way. The team who actually worked the event were hilarious, friendly, and talented. Our guests are still raving about it. They will definitely be our first call for any future events.
Response from the Vendor on 03/31/2021
Your wedding was one to remember! We had a great time too! Thanks!
The entire process from start to finish was great. Jane and Misty were fabulous to work with. You will definitely get the most out of Embrace the Grape. The staff were fantastic, personable and our guests enjoyed their service. Please consider Embrace the Grape for your future events!
Response from the Vendor on 08/22/2020
Thank you Sean! I thought you did an amazing job of helping the couple pivot to a different vision through Covid 19. It was an absolute pleasure to work with you, too!
Our bartending service was amazing for our wedding! This company was so great on communicating and helping us pick the right package for our wedding. Our bartender was Sherri and EVERYONE loved her!! Very responsibly priced. I highly recommend their service!!!
Response from the Vendor on 06/16/2020
As we re-emerge out of Covid, it is lovely to work with people like you. Thank you for your kind words and I'll pass them to Sherri as well. Cheers!
All of our guests loved how quick the bartenders were. A few made a comment that the bartender started knowing what drink they were about to order so had it ready as soon as they came up. The bartenders made sure that the we as (bride and groom) had a drink when we were sitting at the head table.
Jane and her crew were absolutely amazing to work with! Jane helped us with everything from selections to make sure we had a variety for everyone at both our wedding and rehersal, to last minute changes due to rain starting and stopping. Embrace the grape was absolutely wonderful to work with and it was so wonderful to just not have to worry about beverages and just know they were handled.
Response from the Vendor on 10/24/2019
Oh Amanda! You were wonderful to work with too! Thanks for including us!
Jane was amazing throughout the whole planning process! Any time we had a question, all it took was an email and she responded quickly, and guided us through the choices for our open bar. We had planned on two bartenders for our crowd, but due to it being a rainy, chilly night at our outdoor venue, some of our guests left earlier than planned, so after a little bit they sent the second one home. But for the first half of the reception, they were both amazing and handled the line of parched guests like champs! This company is so easy to work with, and the staff are amazing and so kind. We could see why they were on the preferred vendor list of several venues!
We hired Embrace The Grape for my daughter’s wedding this past weekend. (6/29) I can’t say enough about how sweet Jane, Dani and Monica were ! We worked with Jane to set up all of the services and she was so full of advice and very accommodating for all of my questions. The bartenders were Dani and Monica and they were so sweet and helpful. They made this process so easy for me because once they arrived at the venue they worked with the venue owners and tried to take care of everything so I wouldn’t have to do anything! ( that goes for during the reception also ) All of our guests at the reception seemed very pleased with the choices of beer and wine that were offered. Also, they kept things moving and there was never a long line for guests to get their beverages ! Having a company like Embrace The Grape do your bar service is so worth it to not have to haul in and out all of the heavy alcohol and beer bottles. Plus, they were so accommodating to our numbers and making sure to cover people who may not RSVP. There was absolutely no worry of running out of alcohol ! They even kept refilling the bucket we had for personalized beer koozies! I appreciated that extra little help ! I am so happy I hired this company. Thank you again !😊
Embrace the Grape Beverage Catering was honestly amazing. From the initial meeting to discuss what we wanted to serve our guests to the actual event, the process was flawless. Incredible customer service, the bartenders were energetic and happy to be there serving the guests, and none of our guests had anything negative to say. We had about 120 folks at our reception and I cannot think of a time where there was a line. The service was quick and positive! Thank you thank you for adding to our special day!
Response from the Vendor on 06/25/2019
Your reception was a total blast and a complete pleasure for us too! Thanks for being so easy to work with!
Best bar crew ever! Jane was so wonderful to plan with, she was THE most attentive vendor contact I worked with during our planning. The crew onsite day of were phenomenal, we couldn't be more happy. Do yourself a favor and hire these guys!!
Embrace the grape is the best of the best! Jane was so easy to communicate with and Sherri did an amazing job as our bartender. I think our guests enjoyed the open bar a bit too much... LOL. Overall, a great company to work with and great service and drinks. 10/10 recommend.
We choose Embrace the Grape based on recommendation from my friend who owns the venue we used. He has used them for many different types of events and always gotten great service. Now we definitely recommend them too!
Embrace the Grape was an excellent bar service for our wedding! Jane had to deal with me having a bit of a ‘bridal meltdown’ on the phone a few days before the wedding. I didn’t realize until trying to give her a headcount the lack of rsvps we had gotten. She helped talk me through that and brought my stress level way down. She even changed from 2 bartenders (on the original quote) to 1 due to the headcount change. I thought that was very fair of them since it was only a few days before the wedding. They easily could have still sent the 2 and charged us for that.
Everything went so smoothly the day of the wedding! The bartender (I can’t remember her name) was great. She was very professional and efficient. I didn’t feel like people were ever standing around waiting for drinks. Everyone had such a great time.
Like I said, I would definitely recommend Embrace the Grape to anyone looking for a bartending service for their wedding.
Response from the Vendor on 05/20/2019
Thank you for that great review! Believe me you are not the first "bridal meltdown" I've encountered over the years. I loved how you regrouped, called me back and all went along as planned. It was a great event and Bridge Space in Lee's Summ...
it was the perfect venue!
Absolutely fantastic! They were hassle-free and I never had to worry (which is all I can ask for!). Added bonus that the bartenders remembered what I was drinking and never had to ask after the first time, which left me more time to mingle/dance/enjoy my wedding!!
Response from the Vendor on 05/20/2019
Mingle, dance and enjoy! That's why we do what we do!
How in the WORLD does Embrace the Grape only have 40-something reviews??!! They should be helping every couple in KC, because they were truly one of the best vendors we got to work with. Jane is SO sweet and incredibly accommodating. The team at ETB really helped our guests have a wonderful time and had a great attitude the entire night. They even checked in with my husband and I to make sure if we wanted to extend the bar time (because the night was not ending anytime soon and they wanted to make sure they were open long enough!). Jane even gave us a surprise in regards to our liquor selections and we are SO incredibly grateful for her and her generosity. I will tell everyone about ETB until the end of time!!! Super friendly people with wonderful organization that made our day so much easier to handle. Thank you, Embrace the Grape!!!
Response from the Vendor on 05/01/2019
#daymade You and your man were super easy to work with and it was an absolute pleasure to surprise you with a special something on your wedding night. Congrats!
The ETG bartenders were complete pros. They just showed up and took care of business. The one detail that I didn't even have to think twice about. Even with our 200+ thirsty crowd with one bar, no one waited for a drink. Several couples mentioned that they were so impressed they want to use them for their upcoming weddings.
Response from the Vendor on 04/03/2019
Your wedding was a blast and your guests were so fun! Thanks for including us in your celebration!
Wonderful! We used Embrace The Grape for our October 2017 wedding and they went above and beyond! Easy communication and they were happy to research and provide special requests (we didn't want Coke, Sprite, etc. but local, real sugar, vintage looking glass soda bottles and they NAILED it!) Wonderful attitude and energy. Highly recommend!
Response from the Vendor on 01/17/2019
Hey, because of you we discovered Polly's Pop in Independence! You were so fun to work with...you vision and theme for the day were a treat!
We used embrace the grape and they were fantastic to work with from start to finish. Very responsive, great help with signature drink ideas, good prices on bar packages and our bartender was amazing during the wedding reception!!!
We had Embrace the Grape do the beverages for our wedding! The prices had us hooked instantly since everything else we had looked into was way out of our budget. They were recommended to us by our venue and it was a great recommendation! They were flexible working with us when we wanted to add on time to the bar service last minute and were very friendly!
Wonderful service!
Jane is so wonderful to work with. Their prices and Dofferent options are very fair. Her whole staff is very friendly and professional. Would give them 10/10!
Embrace the Grape did a wonderful job at our wedding! They were super friendly and had lots of awesome drink options. We definitely recommend them!
Embrace the Grape was super easy to work with and did such a great job. I gave them an idea for a signature drink that I wasn't sure if they could replicate and they did without any problems and made it totally easy on my end. Jane was really responsive and our bartenders the day of were really nice and helpful.
They were awesome!!! We had no idea what we wanted alcohol wise; so it was nice when we had our meeting that they had a list of alcohol that we choose from. She even gave us the idea of buying everyones first drink and giving everyone tickets for their first drink. I would recommend them to anyone
We enjoyed working with Embrace the Grape. The staff are professional and courteous. We did have a few hiccups in that they ran out of all wine being served and garnishes for our signature cocktails. But overall they did well!
Response from the Vendor on 10/25/2018
We did run out of red, but replenished the bar and had enough to cover the evening.
The white ran out right at the end! Thanks so much for hiring us. I'm glad your day was wonderful!
I think I would be able to give embrace the grape a better rating if in a different venue. There was no menu for the guest to read and I did not understand why wine and our signature drinks were served in such a small glass. Also felt that I paid for several hours that I didn’t get because of transitioning and dinner. Again, I do recommend them be aware of sizes and time.
Response from the Vendor on 10/22/2018
Thanks so much for the thoughtful feedback. It's much appreciated!
I truly cannot say enough good things about Jane and all of the staff at Embrace The Grape. I communicated with Dani quite a lot via email and she was always so responsive and patient in answering all of my questions and concerns. The staff members that bar-tended at our wedding reception were Heather and Melinda and they were both amazing to work with. The night of our wedding reception, they constantly made sure that my new husband and I were enjoying ourselves, checking in on if we needed a drink refill or anything at all. Long story short, the communication with all of the staff at Embrace The Grape was excellent and they really went ABOVE AND BEYOND our expectations of what a good drink and beverage catering company should be. I can't say a single bad thing about them and would recommend them to anyone and everyone looking for a top of the line drink and beverage vendor! To everyone that we had the opportunity to work with at Embrace The Grape: Thank you for everything! You guys are awesome!
Response from the Vendor on 10/22/2018
OMG! #madeourday
We had the sweetest bartenders at our wedding reception! I would highly recommend Embrace the Grape for any of your bartening needs! They worked with us during our planning and got the bar set up exactly how we wanted it. Our guest's had a great time interacting with the bartenders all night and that helped with the full experience. Love them!!
Response from the Vendor on 10/22/2018
You were so fun to work with! Thanks for including us in your day!
We LOVED having Embrace the Grape as our bar service for our wedding. We met them at a bridal expo and the rest is history. Their services are a great price and really reasonable and they went above and beyond to make our wedding day run smoothly. Jane was great and was kind enough to meet with us beforehand and let us taste their signature drink options so we knew exactly what we were picking. Embrace the Grape is awesome!
Response from the Vendor on 08/15/2018
Oh my gosh...you were so fun and relaxed! (I bet your wedding planner helped with the relaxed part!) and your Dad was awesome. It's not often I meet a Dad as excited to see his daughter get married as he was. I'm the lucky one here to get to ...
work with you and your family. Contrats!
Embrace the Grape was so great for our wedding! I worked with Jane and Dani and everything was perfect! We discussed many different options ahead of time and they were so flexible with what we wanted. We knew we wanted signature drinks and just gave her a few notes on what we liked, they ended up making us a raspberry rum runner and blueberry vodka lemonade. Both were so amazing, I had guests asking me all night for the recipes! They took care of everything drink wise at the reception so there was no worries from me all night long! I would absolutely recommend ETG for your wedding!

We signed up for a beverage package with Embrace the Grape for our wedding reception. Jane was awesome to work with and customized our drink menu just for us. She was very responsive to emails. I would highly recommend her.
We used Embrace the Grape for our bar service at the Emaline Ballroom for our wedding reception. We had nothing but positive feedback from all our guests! They were friendly, fast, and did a great job. They coordinated with me to ensure I purchased the best package for my guests and were very helpful in answering questions and allowing me to customize my package. They did a fabulous job and I highly recommend them!
Embrace the Grape was so flexible and accommodating from beginning to end! This was our family's first wedding and Jane made it so easy; from beverage selection to serving, it couldn't have been smoother.( She even had one bottle of a special wine for the grandparents!) They were efficient and tidy: kept the venue spotless! Thank you so much! Sue W
We used etg for our wedding a few weeks ago! Loved them and their selection of all the alcohol we could want. They were very respectful on time and very friendly.
Great folks to work with through The Beck Event Space! I was in constant communication with Jane and she was fantastic to work with. Discussed all our options in simple terms, changed things as needed, made payment simple, and easy to work with. I highly recommend them! The night of the wedding, they took extra good care of us and our guests, and made the evening run smoothly in terms of beverages. Thank you!
Response from the Vendor on 01/02/2018
What a great way to start 2018! Thank you for the wonderful review. We loved working with you and Andrew! (and the Beck is gorgeous!) Cheers!
I loved everything about Embrace the Grape! Jane was easy to work with, very knowledgable, and incredibly helpful when choosing our selections. Their pricing and service cannot be beat! I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants to provide high quality service and products at a reasonable price to their guests!
Response from the Vendor on 11/29/2017
Oh my goodness...thank you for your kind words! It was a pleasure to work with you and be a part of your day. Cheers!
Embrace the grape does an amazing job at accommodating what you are wanting if it is wine, hard liquor, beer, or soda. I liked the fact that we got to choose what was available for our wedding. I enjoyed having them supply the beverages for our wedding. It was laid back and it was very easy for everyone. I hardly recognized they were there.
Response from the Vendor on 11/29/2017
It's your day and I love that we just faded into the background leaving the spotlight where it belonged...on you!
We came to book with Embrace the Grape for our wedding in October 2017 through our reception venue, and we were not disappointed. Payment was simple and the prices were comparable to other bartending services in the area. Jane was great to work with leading up to our wedding day and her bartending staff did a stellar job serving hosted beer and wine at our reception.
I hired Embrace the Grape for my wedding reception on 10-07-17 with 150 people. They were AMAZING! I had a package with beer, wine, and 2 signature cocktails hosted, and a cash bar for anything else. I had 2 bartenders, and there was little to no wait for drinks. They were fast, polite, and professional. The drinks were phenomenal and everyone was very pleased. Working with Jane to set everything up was a breeze. Jane had answers to all my questions, and was willing to change things around to my specifications. It's scary hiring a bar, but let me tell you Embrace the Grape does a WONDERFUL job!
Jane and her crew did an amazing job from start to finish. Our venue, The Emaline Ballroom, works solely with Embrace the Grape. At first I was nervous about the fact that I didn't have a choice, but once I met Jane I instantly felt at ease. She went out of her way to accommodate our specific requests (my groom wanted Red Cream Soda :) ). She was responsive throughout the planning process and very detailed. She even scheduled her set up times with the reception venue, so I didn't know to worry about a thing!! I knew exactly what to expect.
We had one little hiccup at the reception where the kegs weren't cooling down so they dipped into the bottles for our guests, but didn't charge us for this mishap, only for the kegs. I really appreciated the fact that they took care of it on their end and didn't involve me or make me feel stressed at all. I highly recommend Embrace the Grape for your wedding or event!! Thanks so much Jane!!
Response from the Vendor on 08/20/2017
Oh my gosh...those pesky kegs! I'm so glad you mentioned them because it's a great example of how you never know what will go wrong. We pride ourselves on adapting to each situation to make your day as seamless as possible! Thanks so much fo...
r the wonderful review!
Excellent in every way. From beginning to end, Jane and her team were awesome. Jane took the time to talk to us about what would work with our budget, and helped execute our vision for the signature drinks. Her team on the day of the event went above and beyond. They were very professional and fast. Our guest enjoyed the drinks and the service. ETG is an exceptional bar service. Thank you for being a part of our special day
OMG Embrace the Grape was AHmazing! From the moment we met with them at a Bridal Expo we knew we wanted to go with them. They are SO accommodating and were willing to go the extra mile when it came to alcohol selection as well as set up. I was not expecting to get to choose so many choices, from liquor to wine to microbrews to soda, ETG has got it going on! Our guests were thrilled as well, and I don't recall seeing lines at all at the three bars at our 200 person wedding!
Response from the Vendor on 04/14/2017
Woot! Paula and Josh had the best time serving you and your guests. Thanks so much for including us in your day!
I had stumbled upon Embrace the Grape online in February, before our December 2016 wedding and was quite impressed when I requested a quote. I promptly received an email from Jane and set up a phone call to talk over exactly what we wanted for the wedding, as far as drinks go. Embrace the Grape was not only the best value, but also had a lot of options, which was important to us since we were doing an open bar with beer and wine only. I had waited to book it, until I got an email about two weeks later from Jane again, saying she had met my mom at a Bridal show and just checking in. It was polite and professional and I was sold! They were extremely helpful and accomadating the entire planning process,
As for the wedding day, they sent one bartender for our wedding of 100 people. I was a little nervous that it wouldn't be enough or that we would run out of alcohol (we had some serious partiers and drinkers haha) but the open bar stayed full the whole night and the bartender was great and had a huge smile on her face all night! It was all so great. I wish I could use Embrace the Grape for every event I hosted, everywhere!
Response from the Vendor on 01/23/2017
Thank you, thank you! Let me tell you your bartender said your wedding reception was so fun to work. Even though she had to "slow some folks down" at the bar, everyone was terrific. Thanks so much for including us!
After searching high and low we came across Embrace the Grape as for October 1st Dream wedding. Jane is great easy to work with flexible and affordable.
Response from the Vendor on 11/29/2016
I loved running into you a couple weeks after your wedding. You looked beautiful, relaxed and happy. Congrats on marrying the man of your dreams! And, thanks for including us in the celebration!
Embrace the Grape was fantastic! I met Jane at a bridal show. I only interested in bartending services because I was set on buying my own liquor at Costco. Jane gave me a bid for an open bar for all of my guests, bartenders, drinkware, garnish, etc. The price was unbeatable and I couldn't make it not make sense. After we booked, Jane kept in contact with me and was always so upbeat and complimentary of my wedding "vision"/theme. Jane made it so easy for us. I received amazing feedback from our guests on the friendliness/appearance/speediness of the bartenders. Highly recommend!

Woot! You were wonderful to work with as well! Thanks for including us on such a special day!
I would recommend Embrace the Grape to anyone! Jane was so easy to work with and helped customize exactly what we needed to make our son's wedding reception perfect. Our bartender, Diane, was also amazing. She was so professional and nice. It was a pleasure working with this company!

It was fun for me to work with you in the development of the bar. So glad everything was just as you envisioned! Thanks for your kind words!
We are SO happy with our decision to go with Embrace the Grape for our beverage service at our wedding! The prices were great and Jane was amazing to work with while coordinating the specifics of the bar! We were a little indecisive and ended up changing things multiple times but she was amazing about updating our quote and sending it back quickly! Our bartenders--Drew and Aaron--were very professional while still making sure everyone was having a great time. We have had lots of compliments from our guests and are so impressed with the service--we could not be happier! HIGHLY recommend Embrace the Grape if you are looking for a beverage service!

You threw a great party! Drew and Aaron both loved serving your guests, and I was honored to be in the planning process. Thanks so much for reviewing us!
Working with Jane at Embrace the Grape was awesome! She was able to create a beer and wine selection that was perfect for our guests at a price that couldn't be beat. I would recommend them to anyone.

We love working in the wedding industry...it's such an honor to be invited to serve you and your guests on the most important day of your life! Thank you!
Jane is probably the most helpful human being on this planet. I had an issue with my previous bartending service ONE WEEK before the big day. I called Jane and she was extremely helpful. She was very flexible working with me a week before my event and eased my stress and concerns. Our bartender at our event was AMAZING and so joyful. I highly recommending using Jane and Embrace the Grape.

Your wedding was a blast! Thanks for including us!
I recently used Embrace The Grape for bartending services at my wedding. Jane, the owner, was amazing! She was so easy to talk to and was wonderful at guess-timating what and how much we would need! The servers were very professional and were very well dressed for my wedding! They did a great job and I will recommend them to everyone I know!

I grew up in the Kansas City Area and have been in the events industry since I was in college (eeek...that's almost 30 years). I love it! Ten years in the DJ biz and the last 13 in the liquor industry. I took a few years off in between to have a truckload of kids!
The excitement of each bride as she shares her vision for the day is contagious for sure. It still thrills me to see a bride in her wedding gown, a groom handsomely dressed in his tux and smiling family & friends all around.
Thank you to hundreds of brides, event planners and venue contacts for trusting us with the bar!
