We cannot thank the Life of the BARty team enough for making our wedding day truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived at our venue, we knew that the bar service would be top-notch, and they exceeded every expectation. The team was friendly, approachable, and so efficient, keeping drinks flowing without a single hiccup. Not only was the service excellent, but they also brought a real sense of fun and excitement to the bar. The cocktails were expertly crafted, and the team even worked with us to create 3 signature drinks that were a hit with everyone! We are so grateful for their hard work and energy – they were truly a key part of the success of our celebration. If you’re looking for a bar team that’s professional, fun, and attentive, they would be my first call. Thank you for helping make our wedding day a very special day!

We loved having Life of the BARty be there for our special day. They were so helpful before hand with what and how much to buy. They created an amazing menu for our guests to look at with our signature cocktails and other options. The service was great and the conversations were even better. I highly recommend having them be there for you on your next event.

Life of the BARty did great bartending for our wedding! Very communicative and responsive. Took care of all the details without any slip ups. When our bar rental showed up without the right linens, they were able to fix something together. Would recommend them for any event, especially a wedding :)

Elyse was wonderful! My family loved her!! Communicated before the wedding several times, provided a list of the things I needed and suggestions which I loved. Loved that she made my drink menu the same as my wedding invitations. I will definitely use her again. She was such a pleasure to work with.

Life of the Barty was amazing! Elyse absolutely nailed our wedding menu, including last minute changes. They went above and beyond and helped make our wedding a huge success! The lines moved quick and never got too long thanks to their preparation and quick (delicious) drink making! The prices are affordable and reasonable and I could not be happier with our decision to have life of the BARty at our wedding.
