e end of the event, they were professional, responsive, and incredibly accommodating. They elevated the entire atmosphere, and I received countless compliments from guests, not just on the drinks, but also on the warm, attentive service.
The team was flexible and detail-oriented, and Athena worked closely with me to tailor everything exactly to our needs. Their punctuality and organization made the process seamless, and the pricing was extremely reasonable compared to other quotes I received during the planning process. I would hire them again in a heartbeat and can’t recommend them highly enough.

We cannot express enough how wonderful working with Athena and team was. Our New Years Wedding was a 10/10 and LHB was a huge part of that. Super professional, adhered to our dress...
code and seemed over the moon to be able to bartend at our wedding. It really made us feel so special. Athena is on TOP OF HER STUFF. We got a curated list of what alcohol we needed and it was more than enough, and the expertise led to delicious beverages that we got numerous compliments about. Such an easy process to inquire, send deposit, hire and chat with this team before the big day. Highly recommend LHB if you need bartending services for any reason whatsoever!!

Athena bartended our wedding in September 2023. I could have asked for a better bartender! Full of personality, smiling, chatting with all the guests, and of course amazing drinks!...
Even, my grumpy at most times dad commented on how fun she was. But, what really made her stand out is she really went above and beyond..even when our caterer left earlier than expected Athena stayed to help clean. Thank you Athena for being a part of mine and Cams big day! Hiring Lavender Haze Bartending will be the one of the best choices you make when wedding planning!
