Hello Penny Bar

g. We were excited to have them for our event. Unfortunately, they didn’t live up to our expectations, far from it. They actually ended up being our biggest regret. I’ll start with the most egregious of the things they did first. Number one, when you hire them, part of the deal is that you purchase all of the alcohol and mixers. They send a list and you purchase their recommendations. We actually bought more than they recommended because we wanted to be on the safe side, but less than one hour into the wedding reception we were being told by guests that we were “out of alcohol.” How could this even physically be possible? We had purchased two handles of vodka, two handles of rum, two handles of gin, various other liquors, not to mention 3 cases of wine and a keg of beer and two cases of champagne. All this for 100 guests. I will say that a lot of the details of why we ran out of alcohol we found out after the fact over the course of days of friends and guests telling us what happened and what they witnessed or we might have handled some of it differently, but it turns out that these bartenders, one being the owner, yes, the owner of Penny Bar, like to overpour drinks (some drinks were 3/4 full of pure alcohol), hand out entire bottles of alcohol to guests to take to their tables, and best of all, join the guests drinking and doing shots. Not sure how they expected to maintain the integrity of the guests’ alcoholic intake while they were drinking themselves, but this is what they apparently chose to do. The fact of them drinking with the guests was reported to us later by many people, not just one or two. We were told an hour into our event that we were out of alcohol so my parents went to talk to the bartenders, one being the owner of the bar and were rudely told “this is a record.” So here we are in the middle of our wedding forced to figure out where and how to get more alcohol. Luckily a friend knew about ordering alcohol for delivery through an app so we chose that option and spent hundreds of dollars more to get enough to continue our event, not to mention emptying out our parents’ liquor cabinet in the meantime to keep things going. I can’t even begin to list everything that they did wrong but suffice it to say we would not recommend them to anyone. We are lucky that no one was hurt and thankfully everyone made it home safely considering the details we found out over the next several days about the over pouring of drinks and bottles of vodka and tequila being handed to guests to take to their tables. They loved telling the guests that “we’re the party.” I want to let them know that, in fact, no, you are NOT the party. You are a hired vendor being paid to responsibly serve our drinks to guests at OUR party. We were not paying you to drink our alcohol, come unprepared and dressed inappropriately and change midway in the event into proper attire. Yes, that happened, too. To say we were disappointed in Penny Bar is a huge understatement, disgusted is a closer descriptor. The owner needs to grow up and realize where he’s at when hired for an event: You are at work, sir. Period.

ng!!! A couple weeks before our wedding my step mom actually found the Hello Penny Bar - I saw one picture of the cute little boho trailer and I was sold! And lucky for us they were available!! Scott was great at helping me with mixed drink ideas. All of my guest including my husband and I were obsessed with the Hello Penny Bar! It was the best addition to our wedding! Highly recommened!

ny Again and For Recommend Them To Everyone! Thank You All So Much!!

ott!), he was super helpful with wedding planning, too! I cannot recommend Scott and the Hello Penny Bar enough. The bar itself looked amazing at our venue and let me tell you, our venue was not easy to get to! Scott and his staff were such troopers. Our wedding happened to be scheduled during the one time a snow storm was passing through southern California and Scott got the Penny Bar there on time and without complaint. Scott and his staff were definite highlights with our guests and served up the best cocktails and drinks all throughout the night! They were the best and if you have the chance to work with Scott and Hello Penny Bar, you definitely should jump at it!!!! Thank you again Scott, you guys were seriously THE BEST!!!!

l planning and care, making sure to accommodate every type of party. It's easy to see from reviews that this should be your go-to! Absolutely would recommend this to anyone! it is quite rare to find people that are so passionate about what they do and it shows with every detail.

blessing to find such a cute, fun bar, but it also came with two incredible bartenders who helped to make our wedding just that much more special. As you could imagine, my wife wanted something perfect, and perfect is what I gave her! :) I HIGHLY recommend using the Hello Penny Bar at your wedding or special event. You will not regret it! Big thanks to the Hello Penny Bar team for making our wedding so incredibly memorable. We can't thank you enough!

erience more enjoyable - they made a cornhole game available, plant decor, and brought the cutest little sign to say our brand slogan, FIND YOUR GO. Their crew, decor, and vibes made our first party in our new office space as awesome as it was. Their Hello Penny concept is so innovative and we will definitely have them out at another event soon! Thank you Scott and Gabby for everything, we love you and we love Penny!

nd the pictures came out super cute. The owners were wonderful and really great to work with—we ended up going with the full bartender package and the staff was professional, fun, and amazingly helpful. They relieved me from the worry to keep the bar stocked/moving and had a very warm interaction with the guests. I'd recommend Hello Penny to anyone looking to add a fun, fresh feel to their party/event. She's super cute and fun!

loved the experience! The owners were super helpful and were quick with communication. They made everything a breeze. It was nice they gave you the option: you could either just use Penny or hire their bartenders. We hired their bartenders and they were great! I will totally use them again for other events. Thank you Penny for an amazing addition to our event!

perfect. It was well decorated and VERY clean. I think I drank more that night just cause I wanted to keep going back to look at it. I highly recommend using it for your wedding and I may even hire them for my next big party. The bartenders were very professional and apparently friends of the owner which I thought was pretty cool.
