My fiancé and I booked with Luke’s in September 2020 when they were apparently under different management. For the past month or so I have been trying to get in contact with them to make sure that everything is set with our fast approaching wedding. I have yet to hear from them. My coordinator has also had issues with communication with Luke’s. Thankfully we have found someone else on such short notice. I’m hoping to get our deposit back, but again he’s not responding to any sort of request.
If I could give 0 stars, I would. Luke’s Bartending out of college station, TX took our wedding deposit in September 2020 and ran. Our wedding was set for 02/20/2021. Just over three weeks out from wedding date My fiancé and I and then others attempted contacting them to finish up plans for requested alcohol purchases, our guest count, our timeline and didn’t hear anything back in any form of contact made. Venue owners told us at our run through at the venue 01/31/21 that several couples are not getting any responses back. Contact attempts were made by my fiancé, wedding venue owners, our current bartending company, and myself.
Great bartenders! Very easy to work with, I definitely recommend!
Although most of the communicating happened through our parents, the actual service was great. We had no complications with them and everything ran smoothly!
Luke’s did a great job bartending my wedding! We had four bartenders and two bars. They also brought a margarita machine to our rehearsal dinner (they were awesome btw!!) All bartenders were very professional! There was never a long line and the drinks were fabulous! I requested a special signature drink and they were happy to create it for me! They were always available to answer questions and responded promptly. Excellent service!!
Good price for bartending service only. Bartender was friendly but seemed a little overwhelmed and flustered (per our wedding coordinator)! I would use Luke's again :)
Lukes did an excellent job of bartending our wedding. We ran out of Pinot Grigio during cocktail hour and they went to the liquor store to pick more up. Another bonus is that they were able to return any bottles, beer, and liquor bottles that had not been open in order to get our money back. The bartenders were polite and did a great job ensuring that the line at the bar kept moving.
Luke's did a great job. We had originally told them no because we had located someone else well 1.5-2 weeks before our wedding that person stopped communicating with us. So I reached out to Jordan with Luke's and thankfully they were able to accommodate us which we were so thankful for they really helped us out. We did hear one of the bartenders was not friendly from some guests but overall they did a great job.
Luke's Bartending was great for our event! They were very easy to work with and very responsive to questions or concerns. Additionally, I was appreciative of the fact that they take care of delivery and set up for the bar as well as all of the alcohol. It was such a huge weight off our shoulders having them for our event.
Luke's was one of the vendors choices I had to choose from having my wedding at The Springs - Woodlands. We supplied the alcohol and only paid for the actual bartending itself, which was reasonably priced. My only complaints would be that their communication isn't the best and that if you hire for bartending services only, they don't do anything but show up and serve. They won't bring garnishes, ice, cups, napkins or straws. My guests were very happy and they poured good drinks!
Communication is lacking. I called several times and no answer. After almost a week of calling, Jordan answered, but was rude and argued with me when I told her I had been calling for a week. Apparently she's the "sales manager". Wonder if her boss knows how rude she is. I went with a Houston bartender instead and my wedding worked out perfectly. I'd say pass on Luke's.
Our experience with Luke's was outstanding from beginning to end! Jordan helped us pick the perfect wine, beer, and mix drinks for wedding while respecting our budget.
I sent a message on their website about getting a bartending quote for my upcoming wedding. I didn't receive an email back as stated on the website so I called after about 3 days. The phone rang and rang and no one answered. I called again later and got someone on the phone who took all of the same information I had already sent in the email. She never apologized. She did say she would email me a quote. A week has passed and I still haven't heard back from anyone in any form...not a call nor an email. I called again and no answer. Guess who won't get my money!
I read great reviews on Luke's so I was expecting better service than what was provided. I felt there was a lack of communication and I was constantly following up with Luke's to get information or confirm I was taken care of. I was expecting them to be more in contact with me instead of me always reaching out to them. There was also a lag in response time, even close to my wedding date. I felt the process could have been more streamlined.
The actual service for our wedding day was great and the price was reasonable. We were charged for the hours of set-up which I don't think is right but overall the bartenders were nice and friendly.
Luke's was great! They took care of everything so you didn't have to worry about anything the day of! Our two bartenders were very friendly and very professional. They even take back all the alcohol you don't use and don't charge for it, which is very nice for the wedding budget. I highly recommend Luke's for any event you are having.
Out of all of our vendors, Luke was at the top of the list to work with. He was one of the few vendors that realized the service he was providing was crucial. On the day of the wedding, the last thing you want to be thinking of is if you have enough ice, or if your drinks are cold. Luke and his team literally took care of everything to make sure we did not have to worry the day of.
His price was also competitive with the other quotes I received, and he took back the alcohol you did not use and did not charge you for it (huge plus). I have 0 complaints with Luke and his staff, and would recommend them for any event or wedding.
Luke was very helpful through all of our weird questions and indecisiveness. He really took care of us. We ordered a lot of beer and wine and used less than half of it-surprisingly. We get charged only for the opened/used wine and beer though so we didn't pay as much as we thought we'd have to. The bartenders were awesome. Turns out one of the guys' aunt was my English teacher my freshman year of High School. Weird. Anyways, they were really friendly and on top of things. They even came and brought us one of the bottles of moscato from the bar to have later which I thought was really nice.
Luke's was great! We provided whiskey, rum, vodka, scotch, 2 types of beer, red & white wine, and mixers. Between service and alcohol we spent roughly $2500. We had 6hrs of service from two amazing bartenders! And Luke even took back the unopened bottles so we didn't have to pay for it. You pay for the service up front and the liquor after it has been opened!
We ordered last minute from Luke's and received everything we asked for. They delivered early, provide bartendars and all necessary supplies. This really made it convenient for our families to have a one stop shop when it came to bar and bar service.
LBS does an excellent job when it comes to providing alcohol for any occasion..we have used them for more than just our Wedding. They are professional and very service oriented. They know exactly what they are doing! Luke makes sure that you have everything that you need and he has been in the industry for years!
