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

Johnny and his team were AMAZING! Nancy was the bartender for our wedding and she was so great! Not only was she super friendly, she is also went above and beyond with service. Me nor my husband had to go get another drink from the bar area once, she was on top of it the entire night and would bring us our drinks. Johnny and Nancy both were very professional, and kept in contact with me the entire week of our wedding. I cannot thank Johnny and his team enough for helping make our wedding night so great.

Johnny and his team were one of the best decisions of our wedding planning. He served our 200-guest wedding in Pleasant Garden, NC. He was super professional and friendly, accommodated all of our requests and questions, and helped us curate our bar selections with his experience. The price you pay is an amazing value, not only with the bar servicing, but also with the incredible level of customer service and expertise you receive! We love Johnny!

Johnny and his team were fantastic! We supplied all beer/wine/liquor (including naming a few signature drinks) while Johnny and team supplied mixers and did the actual bartending/serving. He also tailored the mixers based on our crowd and the expected cocktails with no issues. Professional, responsive, and all-around a pleasure to work with leading up to and on our wedding day, you can't go wrong with this crew!

Johnny was the best bartender we could have asked for at our wedding in Southport, NC. He's very knowledgeable and helpful. He was always quick to respond to any questions we had, and he even helped us clear off our reception tables at the end of the night. If you want customer service that goes above and beyond, Johnny is your guy!

Mae used Johnny’s Bartending for my daughters wedding last weekend in downtown Raleigh. There are not enough kinds words for the top notch job Johnny, Nancy and performed their service from set up to tear down was the best I’ve EVER experienced ! Not only were they incredibly hard workers but possibly the nicest folks as well. I would give them 10 out of 5 stars! I wish I lived closer so I could use them for all of my events.

He was so sweet and did a great job. All put drinks were chilled right on time for the party. He had a great personality and made sure everyone was having fun but being safe. The second we sat down for dinner he was at our table asking what we wanted to drink. The bridal party noticed too and were so impressed. He also helped my mom put the favors out too. He told her so stop and that she should go and injoy herself or relax before the wedding. All I hread all night was how great he was. thank you so much.

Johnny and his staff did a great job at my sons wedding 9-17-22. They took care of the bar, served the food, cake and kept all of our tables cleaned.
And took up all the decorations for us.

Loved this service for our wedding. John made me feel very comfortable, really took his time and even gave me a lot of wonderful advice regarding saving money. Nancy was our bartender.

Johnny and his crew are amazing! York, our bartender, was an absolute doll! I cannot say enough good things about this service. Johnny went out of his way to make sure our setup was everything I could hope for. And his margarita mix was SOOOOOO GOOD! You want this guy to service your wedding. Hands down, the best you will find.

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!
