We hired Pistol Pete and Handlebar Catering for our wedding this August - and they were amazing! Pete was so accommodating and easy to work with, and his drink options that he made...
for us were incredible! I’ve had multiple family members ask me for the recipe of the “Sweet Purrfection” drink that he crafted! Not only did Pete and his team run a tight (and very entertaining!) ship during the event with an open bar, but also provided us with champagne toasts and with our very own version of a Spritz as a welcome drink for our guests. Thanks so much Pete for everything! Definitely recommend this guy and his team if you want to have a tailored and fun bar service for your event!!
