From the booking to the set up, serving, and take down, all was perfect. Great communication regarding what we needed. Erin and another showed up on time for set up. Friendly and p...
rofessional. This was a pre wedding party cocktail event for out of town guests. We felt like guests instead of having to worry about the guests being cared for. And Erin made sure we had our refills! Definitely recommend Erin
Very professional, very responsive, personable, and a great price! Absolutely no complaints!
10/10 experience with Erin Cook Bartending! Erin and her team were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. They helped us plan our specialty cocktails, put together a shopping l...
ist based on our guest count and expected consumption, and kept everything running smoothly throughout the night. They were especially great during high-volume moments, like right after the ceremony when cocktail hour started, when they served everyone quickly without things ever feeling chaotic.
What really stood out was how much they went above and beyond throughout the entire event. They helped with little pieces of decor, made sure the bar layout was both practical and looked great, and added thoughtful touches like flashing ice cubes for our drinks. It was clear they cared about making the bar feel like part of the overall experience, not just showing up to serve drinks.
We are so grateful we chose Erin and her team and would absolutely hire them again for any future event or party. Highly recommend!
We hired Erin Cooks bartending service for my wedding, and they absolutely exceeded expectations. From the very beginning, communication was smooth and professional. They were resp...
onsive, organized, and genuinely interested in making sure everything fit our vision.
On the day of the event, the bartender arrived on time, fully prepared, and brought a great energy. The drink menu was creative and well-balanced, and every drink was made with care and consistency. Guests kept commenting on how friendly and engaging the bartender was, which made a big difference in keeping the vibe lively and welcoming.
What stood out most was the attention to detail. The bar setup was clean and stylish, service was efficient even during busy moments, and they handled everything seamlessly so we didn’t have to worry about a thing.
If you’re looking for a reliable, professional, and fun bartending service that will leave a lasting impression on your guests, I would highly recommend them!

bout how fun and lovely they were! Furthermore, in the middle of the reception, there was an incident regarding one of the guests; Erin was respectful and attentive during this time but then after made sure to get the party going again! I could not have asked for someone better. We will be using her at all future events!

They also made sure my groom and I were taken care of/ had our drinks all night. Best part was that they treated us like good friends and made the night so fun!
Definitely will be using them for all future Bartending needs!

tending throughout and the night of was perfect! No line at the bar, happy guests, and happy hosts! They were also a good deal and fairly priced compared with similar services.
Erin Cook and Shannon killed it bartending our wedding. The lines were short and the drinks were amazing. When my husband got a little too drunk before the wedding she was quick to...
cut him off at my request for the cocktail hour so he could sober up a bit.
We did the full bar package which included mixers, ice, cups, and garnishes. Alcohol was purchased by us. We found her package super affordable and convenient. It was one less thing we had to think about to buy for the wedding.
Erin was great at communicating and very pleasant to work with from day one. We made sure to tip them prior to services and allow them to keep a tip bucket out for guests. We highly recommend doing so for anyone using bar services as tip jars alone doesn’t always pay off for all the hard work they do throughout the course of the evening. Between set up, serving, and breaking down the bar they definitely earned their services and we were so happy to have worked with them.
They performed their duties at our wedding fairly well; however, we did have some issues with a bar being left unattended. Also, guests were refused when they requested whiskey on ...
the rocks. The bartender insisted that they must have a mixer.

of our patrons. Their bartenders went above and beyond helping us set up for our event and tear-down at the end. Erin is great at communication leading up to your event and will make sure all your needs are taken care of. They are wonderful!

had no bar area so we rented a bar and I put shelving behind the bar area and just left the alcohol there. They brought ice and set everything up. When I saw the photos afterward I was very impressed with the way everything was set up so beautifully and professionally. If there were any glitches I definitely never heard about them! A few guests even mentioned how nice the bartenders were!
