Absolutely the best cocktails EVER. I am not exaggerating when I say that the best negroni and best paloma I've ever had was at my wedding, with Pizen as our bartender. My husband ...
likes a paloma, which I have never found particularly good, so at the pre-wedding tasting we asked to try one. I was FLOORED. The best paloma I've ever had - I didn't even know they could taste like that! It was like that with every cocktail we tried from Pizen - from the negroni to the blackberry mule to the watermelon jalapeno margarita to the vanilla maple espresso martini. WOW.
Beyond just absolutely DELICIOUS cocktails, it's the best decision to work with Pizen for your wedding because they pre-batch cocktails, so they can quickly pour them at the bar and your guests don't spend the whole cocktail hour waiting for a single drink. Our guests at our wedding got to actually hang out, mingle, and have fun with a cocktail in hand rather than spend the whole time in line (I've seen this line-waiting happen at many other weddings I've attended).
And the pre-batch thing doesn't make the quality go down at all.
AND, they let you buy your own alcohol, which saves you a ton of money!!
They also happen to be such kind, warm, easy-to-work-with people. When I was confused about what brands to buy, they hopped on the phone with me on their day off to coach me through.
I haven't received my wedding photos yet (it was 2 weeks ago) so I don't have any photos, but the cocktails are beautiful, and usually garnished with something pretty like a dehydrated lime wheel!

to say that this mobile bar killed it.
They had a line from the second the ceremony was about to begin and kept the party going all night. They have the coolest set up with a couch on the outside that allowed a guest who was allergic to the sun to sit and enjoy the entire wedding without being left out.
Their drinks were fresh and their service was on point. Need a bar... get them!

e are still getting compliments from our guests about them a month later. They were one of the first vendors we hired for our wedding and the ones we were most excited about working with, and they did not disappoint. We're already thinking of excuses to hire them again in the future. We'd give them a million stars if we could.

ds at our wedding thanks to their incredible energy. Just the kindest couple that all our guests actually conversed and partied with! Our venue had a lot of logistical challenges on top of changing county ordinances & the Caldor fire, but they stuck with us every step of the way and it all felt really collaborative. So happy we had them at our wedding!
Not only is their trailer amazing, the drinks are incredible and the service superb! They worked with us to make sure all of our needs were met and personalized the drinks for us. ...
Highly recommend for any wedding or event.
