If you’ve found Knock Em Back look no further!!
We used Bobby and his team for our winter wedding right after the new year (Jan 13 2024).
Bobby was amazing! He was the perfect ...
bartender for our wedding. From the start he and his wife Samantha were extremely communicative and detailed in their responses to all my questions. All the planning leading up to the big day was well executed. Bobby even took the time to come to my final venue walkthrough and get a look at the venue and meet the other vendors. He explain in more detail his plan and his vision for the big day all keeping within my overall wedding day timeline.
Bobby and Samantha worked with us to create our speciality drinks and all three of them were an absolute hit. Guests couldn’t get enough!! He also had waters readily available and served our non-alcoholic drinks for guests who wanted something other than booze.
During Cocktail hour and reception Bobby was a hit behind the bar. His overall demeanor was extremely pleasant and he made every guest feel welcome. My guests were served promptly and correctly, even when we were asking for 15 pickle-back shots at a time!
Bobby and his team were well prepared and such a hit they made the bartending aspect look effortless from the outside. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience with a bartending service.
Five Stars, 10/10. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a trustworthy partner on your wedding day!

mmediately to our questions and even requested to check out the venue early to help us pick the best location for the bar to be setup at the wedding.

Everyone at the wedding thought bobby and his team did an amazing job keeping the drinks flowing. He was so kind and helpful throughout the whole process, and you could truly feel how much he wanted us to have the best experience possible. I would highly recommend Bobby for any future events!

is wife Samantha were always available to chat when I had questions. Not only was the communication great but Bobby went out of his way to come by the venue before the wedding to take a look and help put my mind at ease on set up.

It made people feel special and I got more compliments about Bobby and his services than anything else! I HIGHLY recommend Knock Em Back Bartending Services as I don't think there's anyone else out there that will put you and your special event first like Bobby and Samantha did. Cheers and thank you both so much for making our day that much more special.

yond, hooking us up with a caterer when ours canceled last minute ("Gringo's and Mariachi's" - they were also excellent), arranging the cheese plates, and even helping bring out the wedding cakes. He was incredibly responsive, arranging a tasting of our signature cocktails ahead of time and offering to make signage for them featuring our adorable cats. Bobby's professionalism, attention to detail, and warm demeanor made our wedding an extraordinary experience. Thank you, Bobby, for going the extra mile and making our special day unforgettable!!
