We booked Maegan for our wedding in April 2024 and can't say enough great things about the experience. From the beginning, she was communicative, easy to talk to and made me feel at ease with all the decisions regarding what type of service to choose, what add ons would be helpful and ones that wouldn't be necessary for our group. She made the whole process so easy and I felt we were in great hands the whole time. She provided so many cocktail options based on our initial preferences, but made it clear she was open to any suggestions or changes to any of them, down the the colors of the edible flowers and garnishes. The same goes for the cocktail menu, which she designed for us. We had 160 people and added an additional bartender and I never noticed a long line at the bar, and everything seemed really efficient. Although I bet two bartenders would've been fine, but we wanted to play it safe anyway! Then to top it off, the cocktails were amazing! We got so many compliments on the drinks and I still have people talking about how good they were a month later. I can't recommend French Honey Hospitality enough! Everything was absolutely perfect.

French Honey Hospitality provided bar services for our wedding. They were great to work with, always responsive, and served delicious drinks all night! The provided a personalized shopping list based on our taste and guest count, while providing many recommendations on what to buy. Another great feature was the customized drink menu which French Honey Hospitality designed and printed for us. We would highly recommend them and are very happy they were at our wedding!

French Honey Hospitality was absolutely amazing for our wedding. We had some hiccups in the planning process regarding bartending services and deciding what we wanted to do for this. We worked with Maegan, she came in and answered any and all questions we had and quickly sold us on her bartending services with how kind and caring she was about our special day. We spoke with Maegan multiple times regarding specialty cocktails to fit our theme and she absolutely nailed every signature drink based off the creative names we gave her. Her imagination for cocktails was astounding and you can tell she really cares about the drinks she prepares and is willing to push the envelope for your special drinks. On wedding day, Maegan was very friendly towards everyone and was very professional. She showed up early enough to have everything prepped and ready to go by cocktail hour. She also has her own bar that looks stunning and really adds to the vibes to the cocktail hour bar. We felt that Maegan and her husband took care of our guests and ensured that they had a great time. They made a beautiful menu to display all the drinks being provided which helps the guests know what to drink! I remember one of my favorite moments of the night after I had multiple drinks, Maegan hand delivered some liquid IV and water bottles to me which was very much appreciated. If you are looking for bartending services, I cannot recommend French Honey Hospitality enough. Maegan was always very responsive and receptive to our vision. They have a variety of extra services that can elevate your wedding to the next level. Maegan was an absolute pleasure to work with and we loved every aspect of the bartending services provided for us on our special day. You would be putting your trust in the right people with French Honey Hospitality.

French honey hospitality ~ where do I start?! We reserved their bar service and didn’t really have expectations because we didn’t know how bar service could be. FHH was able to do a Mocktail bar customized to our event. It was effortlessly perfect. Meagan went above and beyond to make sure that every detail of the event was accounted for and the drinks. One thing that really stood out was her communication. She made sure to address exactly what I wanted and what my taste was.. in reference to flavor of drinks, style of drinks, and even down to the menu. She was able to communicate with other vendors and just took a lot of stress off my plate. Drinks were delish! If you’re cutting corners on your isn’t for budget reasons, do not cut corners on the bar experience and I highly recommend you look into French honey hospitality!!

I cannot stress enough how excellent French Honey Hospitality and Maegan are. Maegan went above and beyond to learn the ins and outs of our wedding day--themes, colors, guests, etc. We booked with Maegan in January 2023 and she bartended our October 7 wedding. Over the course of those 10 months, Maegan kept in contact with me, sending me little reminders along the way, and always being patient with my boundless questions. One of the many benefits of booking with French Honey Hospitality is that you get an experience cultivated by Maegan. She was recently married and went through the wedding planning journey herself, so she is thoughtful in her approach and always willing to brainstorm and lend a listening ear. She designed 3 signature cocktails for us, each modeled after our 3 fur babies--2 cats and 1 dog. We gave her descriptions of their personalities and sent photos as inspiration. She then provided a detailed list that we needed to purchase before the wedding, including the size and number of bottles of each liquor, champagne, wine, and beer. Maegan was such a great addition to our day and made friends with our guests, made them feel comfortable, answered their questions, and kept the party going. We opted for the additional cold and hot bars, so there were plenty of options for every guest--coffee, tea, lemonade, sodas, and alcohol aplenty. I highly recommend hiring Maegan. She is the ultimate hype woman and consummate professional. She encouraged both me and my now husband on our way to our first look and cheered us on every step of the day. You will never regret working with her. Our guests haven't stopped raving about her. We count ourselves very lucky that she was available on our wedding date.

Maegan was amazing to work with from the very beginning! She made herself available anytime we needed to talk through details for the wedding or had questions. She was patient as we asked questions about the ABC license and made tiny changes to the bar menu (the final product was lovely!). She helped us design a signature cocktail that was a hit with all of our guests. Maegan and her husband were so professional and kind on the day of our wedding, ensuring that guests didn't have to wait in line for drinks and that everyone got exactly what they wanted. We heard so many good things from our guests both about the signature cocktail and the service from Maegan and her husband. If you're looking for a fantastic bar service for your wedding, make sure you look at Maegan and French Honey Hospitality!

Maegan was one of the highlights of our wedding journey and big day! She is clear and personal in her communication, was flexible, and went above and beyond her contractual obligations. Maegan is honestly overly fair in her pricing (which is a rarity in the wedding industry). There are so many positive things I could say — after attending several weddings in recent years with bartenders who were visibly short tempered, it was important to me to hire someone who would make our guests feel welcomed (despite any chaos inherent in weddings), and Maegan delivered so much more. One of my favorite videos from the day includes Maegan and her husband in the back smiling. I have no doubt that her business will continue to grow, and she will continue to be a bright light in any event. Book her before it’s too late! Thank you again, Maegan!

My husband and I were so pleased with French Honey Hospitality. Maegan made the process so easy and we absolutely loved the custom sign she did for us. She handled a few last-minute wedding changes with grace and really put our nerves at ease. All the guests were talking about how great the drinks were as well!

9/15/2023 • Jessica G

Maegan was a joy to work with throughout the entire planning process. Her exceptional organization, love for bartending, and attention to detail made for a beautiful bar set up and delicious signature cocktails. One of my favorite services she offers is the custom bar sign. She went the extra mile to make sure the sign was exactly what we wanted (she even included our two kitties on it!) We love it & are so happy we get to keep it as a fun way to remember our wedding day. Highly highly recommend French Honey Hospitality! You won’t be disappointed.

My daughter really wanted a separate bartender service from the caterers so they could have an outstanding bar service at their wedding. French Honey Hospitality was incredible! From picking their specialty drink to service/ knowledge and communication, they are the best! I highly recommend FHH!

6/28/2023 • Kristin P

Maegan at French Hospitality was wonderful professional to work with. We loved the signature drinks for the couple for the wedding. They were a hit. It was also personalized with beautiful signage in the bar area. I was very happy with the bartending service for my daughter's wedding.

5/30/2023 • Aliya W

Maegan and her crew were so amazing the day of our wedding and so easy to work with. Maegan made everything super easy and was so sweet too. They made a custom drink menu that was a huge hit and were so thoughtful and had the sign passed around for guests to sign! Would highly recommend working with them for your special day.

5/06/2023 • Madisan Y

I cannot say enough nice things about Meagan! My husband and I were struggling to find bartending services for our wedding and by the time we found French Honey Hospitality, we were only 2 months out from getting married. She was very accommodating to any and all requests we had, even with the shortened time frame. She made our day run so smoothly and our guests loved her. If I ever need bartending services in the future, I will for sure be calling Meagan!

Absolutely the best decision we made for our wedding. Fast, dependable, and gave us such a great list of item quantity's we needed per our guest count. They set up their section so neatly and everyone enjoyed the drinks that were crafted. Truly a seamless experience.

11/22/2022 • Janessa H

Maegan is absolutely wonderful! My husband and I booked this company very far in advance from our wedding date and I am so glad we did. Communication from day one was incredible! You don’t get many vendors who respond so quickly and Maegan reached out within the hour almost every time I had a question or she had an update about payment, license info, etc. The available package deal was perfect for our wedding day as we didn’t have too many guests projected to drink. We were able to discuss our needs with Maegan, and she was so helpful in narrowing down decisions and how couples typically used a bartender for weddings. We were able to discuss in great detail what we wanted in terms of our menu, how many guests were expected to drink on the day, and Maegan created a “what-to-buy” list of quantities which was so helpful! Throughout the process of planning, Maegan constantly communicated with my husband and I on updates and gave us a better sense of direction on how to maintain the proper license needed for our venue. On the day-of, guests loved our mixed drink which Maegan and I worked together on creating. We loved the overall customer service and friendliness Maegan and her team gave us on the day and beyond; we are so incredibly thankful! Definitely book Maegan and her team for your big day because she is absolutely phenomenal!

There is so much to say about how great Maegan Allen and her team at French Honey Hospitality were to work with for the wedding of our daughter Oct. 2022! Maegan is truly a consummate professional and her execution of every aspect of bar service was that of a seasoned pro. My daughter and her husband own a restaurant in Wash DC and when it comes to high end beverage service, they are are first among peers. Maegan was knowledgeable and gracious. She advised, collaborated, listened and in the end, ran the three bars we set up for the wedding at our farm completely seemlessly. There was never a long line for drinks as her staff were always one step ahead of the crowd, anticipating when there would be a surge in demand and preparing for it. We were all so impressed with every aspect of their performance - and this was a good size crowd of 150 with a lot of industry people in attendance. In addition, we had two tents set up on the river front where our farm is located - so there was a lot of real estate for them to cover. During the process of planning, Meagan was incredibly responsive, intuitive, friendly and kept us on task - all while planning her own wedding! We cannot say enough about how great French Honey was to work with - and we will always be grateful to Meagan for all she did to make everything turn out perfectly!!!

French honey was a huge hit at our wedding! Maegan was very communicative throughout the process. She was so creative, making drinks that fit our celestial and skoolie theme :) they were patient and friendly even with the chaos that happened due to rain and mud. Everyone is still raving about the awesome drinks at our wedding, especially the moonlight margarita :) French honey helped turn a rainy, muddy wedding into a real party with their hospitality 💜 thank you guys!

Maegan was very attentive and tailored the experience to what we needed. Maegan set up and coordinated the graduation party of our high school senior. It ended up being a stress free evening. Maegan had everything under control from start to finish! We would definitely work with Maegan again!

8/17/2022 • Nichole W

Maegan (and her husband) were more than I could have ever asked for or expected. From our initial connection to even after the wedding, Maegan went above and beyond. From impeccable organization and a seamless experience, to true and honest kindness and desire to help us even outside of her role, to amazing and consistent communication (even when I was a little late to reply), to keeping the party going during the event, and to one of the most thoughtful gifts for me and my (now!) husband, Maegan was seriously just amazing. I would and will recommend Maegan to any bride that wants an organized, kind, thoughtful, and hype drink vendor (should be every bride). I can't thank you enough Maegan!!!!

Maegan was AMAZING! She was super chill and also energetic at the same time which is a rare combination, and GREAT for a bartender. She was super easy to vibe with, and she did EVERYTHING I wanted. I got a lot of pushback from other bartenders regarding a Frozen Hot Chocolate bar for my Christmas in July wedding, but Maegan came up with ideas for me and got a Frozen drink machine!!! The drinks were delicious, the signs were super cute, and everything was smooth from start to finish. 10/10 recommended ❤

7/16/2022 • Kendall N

French Honey Hospitality hands down was a highlight of the evening! Maegan was professional, knowledgeable and so accommodating of our desires for guests’ experience. She made sure everything was perfect from the cocktails themselves to the personalized details of the bar decor. Our guests had nothing but great things to say about not only the cocktails themselves but also the service and positive attitude behind the bar! There were never any long wait times for service which was a huge plus. Everything was absolutely amazing and it f I could, I would have them bartend all of my events!

7/14/2022 • Kaleigh R

French Honey is fantastic. They took care of everything including creating the cocktails, setting up, serving guests, and tearing down. It was a huge relief to not have to worry about any of the alcoholic or non alcohol beverages and it gave me more time to enjoy with my loved ones. My guests especially loved the mint strawberry limeade, and the oat milk hazelnut iced coffee! Mae Allen is so talented at creating unique speciality cocktails. I would definitely recommend French Honey for any and all of your beverage-related needs!

7/13/2022 • Kaseem A

The vender was there 2hrs before her time to start, we was short handed with setting up , her staff didn’t hesitate on helping out set up the chairs while completing there task on getting the bar ready . She was very professional, and her drinks were to die for. I would definitely recommend her for any future functions , and or weddings that is looking for someone.

7/13/2022 • Madison S

Maegan was so accommodating and easy to work with it made the whole experience wonderful. Everyone at our wedding was raving about her drinks! She made the cutest menu sign and was so prepared it was so nice to have one less thing to worry about on our wedding day. I would 10/10 recommend French Honey Hospitality and use them again.
