Bobby did an incredible job bartending our wedding in June. All our guests made a point to mention how amazing the drinks were after the day and how great he was! He also was really fun to work with planning our signature cocktails; we did a his and hers and a couple drink. He also had some great mocktail suggestions for guests who were not drinking during the event! Samantha and Bobby treated us so well and we are definitely going to use him again when we have any upcoming events. We have also referred him to our friends and family for their upcoming events!

Bobby and his team were incredible, from start to finish. They were super helpful in the planning process (shopping list, how many bartenders we needed, signature drinks, answering my 7000 questions, etc.). On the day of, they came early and set everything up. They provided almost everything and it made the process super simple. The bar area looked great too! The drinks were really good (many people talked about them) and they were very efficient and personable. Highly recommend Knock Em Back Bartending Services for any of your events!

Bobby Shah and crew did a fabulous job bartending for my daughter’s outdoor summer wedding! I really appreciated meeting with Bobby in advance at the venue to figure out the best places to serve drinks. He had great advice and experience to offer and was very invested in the success of our celebration. The service was cheerful and friendly, working hard to meet the bride and groom’s expectations. Our wedding guests were impressed with the unique cocktails and mocktails on the menu. Wonderful, reliable service - would highly recommend to others!!!

Bobby was awesome, he made creating our bar menu for our wedding an absolute breeze. Our wedding day was incredibly hot but our guests were happily sipping on cold drinks all evening in the 90+ degree heat! We were thrilled with our experience working with this team and highly recommend them to anyone planning a big event!

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!

Bobby went above and beyond to help us get the drinks organized for our big day. He provided us with a list of everything that was needed, and what he would provide. He responded immediately 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. He did an amazing job helping us pick out our signature drinks and did everything he could to help make unique drinks that were delicious and personalized to us. 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!

Bobby's attention to detail is so amazing. He made sure to listen to our theme and decour for our event so the drinks would match. The drink menu signs were thought out and planned and also matched our theme and decor. Samantha and Bobby would send drafts of the drink menu until it was exactly like I wanted it to be. I would definitely recommend hiring Knock Em Back Bartending Services. They treat you like family and communicate well as to never make you feel forgotten. I will be hiring them again in the future.

Bobby was amazing. He is professional and takes his craft seriously. He uses hand crafted mixers and takes time to create a menu that's right for your event. He has such a kind spirit and was great to work with. Will definitely book again without hesitation.

Where do I begin? From the very start, Bobby made this experience a breeze. He not only worked with my price point but offered suggestions on how to keep our costs low. Bobby and his 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. Bobby was a HUGE hit at the wedding and EVERYONE enjoyed his company and demeanor. Bobby made sure everyone was taken care of, even those who weren't drinking. 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.

Response from the Vendor on 06/20/2023

Wow Brittany! Thank you so much for these kind words. We had a blast putting your bar together and working with you guys. Y'all are awesome and I know you two will have a life full of amazing adventures!

I cannot express enough gratitude for the outstanding service provided by Bobby Shah, the bartender from Knock Em Back Bartending Services, at our wedding!! Bobby went above and beyond, 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!!
