Johnny was such a Godsend to our wedding. After much drama we found ourselves three weeks out with no bartender. I found Johnny on the knot and got a response very quickly. After that first phone call, I knew he understood what our vision was...

and would be a great addition to our wedding team. He messaged a few times leading up to the wedding making sure everything was accounted for and that he had all the correct information. He showed up the day of with plenty of time to set up and went out of his way to make sure the bridal party had everything we needed. Plus he is a fun guy to talk to and our guests loved him! I would recommend Johnny 100x over for how stress free he made this area of the wedding planning. He is knowledgable, and efficient and will make sure everything goes smoothly. Plus his prices are very reasonable. Thanks Johnny!

Johnny Jackson

Owner

At 9, I was up at 5, making mom coffee and starting my paper route, I was always a hard worker. Best part of the day was putting my speakers outside and playing DJ for my neighbors, I was always a people pleaser. As a husband and father, I know love is the reason for which I do everything. However bartending has always been my passion. I've even won Triangle bartender of the year. My wife and I find happiness within ourselves while we cook dinner together, listen to music, watch a lot of sports and most importantly take the time to slow dance whenever and wherever we hear our favorite song
