We used Meier's Cork N Bottle as the bar service for our June 2018 wedding. Kevin Meier was very easy to work with, and the bartenders did a great job. They offered great value and...
fair pricing. We were able to customize our menu, and everyone enjoyed the cocktails that were served. 10/10 would recommend for any occasion.
Decided not to go with Meier's Cork and Bottle after the treated me like am idiot for my suggestion on how to do a partial host bar. It is one thing to tell someone the way they'd ...
like to do something won't work, it is quite another to treat said person like an idiot for suggesting it and be rude. I will be going with Ken's Kegs instead. Not sure why they aren't listed as a vendor to begin with.
The staff at Meier's Cork 'n Bottle were wonderful to work with. Their bartenders made fantastic drinks (our guests loved them!) and they had a fantastic selection of drinks.
Meier's worked with us to develop a personalized wine list, and even special ordered pisco for our international guests. Excellent service and professionalism from start to finish....
We even had a guest remark that he was impressed with the bartender's commitment to quality service when she passed over 2 smudged wine glasses to serve him an impeccably clean glass of sauvignon blanc. Highly regard Meier's services and appreciate the peace of mind that came with knowing they would ensure a flawless evening. Highly recommend!
I should have walked out of Meier Cork and Bottle the very first time we met with them and never looked back. But I didn't...hence this review. Shame on me.
My husband-to-be a...
nd I met with the owner, Ken, one afternoon three months before our October wedding. About 10 minutes into the meeting as I'm asking exactly how they go about pricing for their alcohol and bar service, he starts giving me the 'you're a crazy bride' attitude. He explains that he basically guestimates how much your guests will drink and therefore how much you should pay him for the alcohol and service. All due prior to the wedding date. Then if you go over the amount paid, you pay him the difference. If you go under, he cuts you a check. I wanted a breakdown in writing of what we ordered, price per bottle, and total amount paid. For some reason, he couldn't give us this. (again with the crazy bride looks) He kept repeating that 'this is what we do', 'this is our business', etc etc.
On the day of our wedding, the bartenders Ken sent were great. It was cold, our wedding as outdoors, and they hung in there. Despite the bartenders, we had several issues. The first being that they neglected to send the Bacardi completely. My husband wouldn't even consider booking a venue or vendor that could not provide Bacardi. And it was his wedding. Problem. When the bartender called Ken to discuss, he said it wasn't on the list. She had to then tell him that she was looking at an email from him that listed Bacardi as the first thing on the list. We were also having a hot specialty cocktail - they didn't bring a warmer. When she asked Ken about this, he again blamed us. Said we were bringing it, when in fact, he assured me in person and in email "we'll take care of it. we do this all the time." There were other issues I'll spare you the details. Since the night was cold, many of our guests left early and we sent the bartenders home an hour before originally planned.
When it came time to settle the tab with Ken, we were expecting a sizable refund since we closed the bar early ($30 just in bartender pay for one hour) and many of our guests left without drinking as much as we expected them to. Not to mention all the issues we had. After weeks of phone tag with Ken, he told us he'd sent a $45 refund check to us. And that included $34 for a bottle that he sent us incorrectly. WHAT?!?! It was a complete joke. He sent us a breakdown of what we supposedly drank. There's no way. We should have gotten hundreds back. Do not do business with this guy. He will get your money, give you terrible service, and then keep it all. No matter what.
