I just worked with PJ on Saturday March 15th and I can only say amazing things! He was the only bartender and kept the line moving. There was never a time that I looked over and was concerned with the amount of time people were waiting. He was efficient and gave the guests a great experience! From a planners side, he responded to all of my emails efficiently and definitely had the couples best interest in mind. When we had down time, we chatted about our season and I could tell he loves what he does, which to me, is huge! I highly recommend PJ for all your events.

We used PJ Bartending service at our daughter's Sweet 16 Party in West Chester (at the History Center). For the event, the Bartender, Brandon, made mocktails and provided soda's for the many teens at the event (we had PJ's bring everything to the event so we did not have to deal with any drink-related stuff). We were very pleased with the bartending service! The kids loved the mocktails (the number of mocktail drink cups we cleaned off the tables at the end of the night was remarkable). We also found that Brandon was very friendly, and positive, and pleasant throughout the whole event. He did a great job all night interacting with the kids. We would definitely use PJ's Bartending Service again for a big party or event.

We used PJ Bartending for a recent Birthday party and were extremely happy that we hired them! Working with PJ to get the party booked was easy. He was extremely friendly and helpful in making sure we had everything we need for the party to make it a success. Brandon, the bartender, arrived early to ensure setup was completed well ahead of guests arriving! He was professional, friendly, accommodating and made fantastic drinks. All guests loved him! I can’t recommend reaching out to PJ and his team for any of your upcoming bartending needs!

PJ was so easy to work with. He guided us with what services with needed and those that we did not need. He suggested what liquor and wines we should supply. At the wedding, the bartender arrived in plenty of time to set up and was ready to serve. He was great with our guests. Very friendly. We would recommend PJ’s to anyone who needed bartending services.

When I got there is was a torrential downpour. The bartender put his jacket right on and assisted me in unloading the alcohol, which was my responsibility. Not to mention there was A LOT, for the party. Right from there I could tell it was going to be a positive experience. I was right, it was great. Professional, helpful knowledgeable and the right personality. Must use.

WOW!!! PJ Bartending is the very BEST! PJ and Krista did an amazing job at our daughter's engagement party last week (6/15/24) and we couldn't be happier! They both came an hour early to prepare and fixed up a remarkable set up for us and our guests! I asked for a signature drink and Krista kept it flowing for the entire party! They were professional, friendly, fun, knowledgeable and all around terrific; we will 100% be hiring them again for our next event! Thanks so much, PJ and Krista!

If you are looking for a professional and personable bartending service team, give PJ a call.
Outside of whipping up tasty beverages for all pallets to enjoy, PJ and his team offer so much more! Professional and courteous, prompt and responsive, outing and an absolute ball of well directed energy.
PJ and his Team recently worked an event of ours where 200 Union brothers and sisters gathered for a night of fun and solidarity.
The bar stayed packed and flowed smoothly the entire time. While hosting the event, I popped in to the bar nook a few times and PJ and his team were making great conversation and creating some joyful laughs while mixing up the tasty drinks.
This man and his Team have our business and support for as long as his doors are open.
Don’t settle for any Team less than the best, call PJ’s Bartending and ensure your event has the cocktail host with the most.
Thank you brother PJ. See you soon in PHL.

PJ was absolutely excellent! I hired him on short notice in February after another bartender option fell through. He was quick in responding about booking and very helpful. PJ arrived on time for my hosted event of a 60th surprise birthday with over 120 people attending. His set up was very professional and timely. He took care of everything and I didn't have to worry at all.
All the drinks were delicious and my guests really enjoyed his service! Every time I looked over to the bar, he was entertaining the guests in the way that he was preparing the drinks, and I really loved that. Clean up was also great. His service was worth every penny and I would definitely hire him again and again. Thank you so much PJ for everything! You are so good at what you do and I wish you continued success! Don't look anywhere else, hire PJ Bartending and you will not regret it!

PJ bartending was a great vendor for our DIY summer camp wedding! PJ and his team were easy to work with and served our 200 guests efficiently and kindly. PJ was great in the planning process helping us to identify what to purchase and where to go so we could get the best value. They made it easy for us by providing the ice and all the mixers. Would happily recommend it to anyone looking for bartending services for your wedding or event.

PJ was easily the best bartender I've ever seen at a wedding. Being the groom, I was hoping every aspect of the event would run as smoothly as possible. PJ was easily the smoothest part of the wedding. He showed up, asked all the necessary questions, and set up with a quick efficiency only exercised by a seasoned professional. He remained collected and organized throughout the entirety of the event. He was extremely personable with everyone and very importantly for the guests, fast. Nobody was wanting for a drink. With around 100 guests for 4.5 hours he danced the bartending dance with perfection without slowing or missing a step once. Pj was more than we could have hoped for in a bartender for our special day and I highly recommend hiring his service. If you want at least one aspect of your wedding to run with ease and zero stress whatsoever, hire PJ Bartending.

We hired PJs for our rehearsal dinner and wedding day. Guests RAVED about how great they were and how even though everyone was drinking, they never had a line. Our ceremony and cocktail hour and reception were on site and since guests didnt have to travel that can sometimes cause backup at the bar but they were making amazing drinks and quickly! The bartenders were remembering people drinks and making them when they saw guests approached. They were also super friendly and guests kept commenting how wonderful they were. I had left little notes for them about the cups and straws and special cups for our flower girl and ring bearer and they handled it all. Leading up to the wedding we had great communication with PJ of what we need and what quantity. He answered all our questions and was always willing to hop on a call. They really made our wedding amazing!

I was shocked that they had two bartenders available for my wedding, which was the Sunday before Memorial Day! Sydney and Adam were AMAZING!! They went above and beyond, whether it be to restock food dishes, plates, etc that ran low during dinner. We didn’t have anyone formally manning the food, so it was so thoughtful and appreciated!! They even catered to the strangest requests from some of my guests, and they never complained! I would 100% hire them again ♥️

She was a pro at our signature cocktails and she engaged so effortlessly with our guests. She had a positive can-do attitude and was very easy to work with. Rondi was so sweet and very helpful. Our guests were talking about her days after the baby shower! She came with her own bartending supplies and ready to work. Will definitely hire PJ bartending again in the future!

We hired PJ Bartending for our backyard engagement party and it was a 10/10 experience. PJ was extremely helpful offering his expertise and guidance on drink recommendations based on my guest count. The bartender Matt who was on-site was professional and fun - everyone loved him. It added such a nice touch to the party that my guests were not expecting. PJ could not have made the process easier and with very reasonable rates. If you're looking to have a bartender for your engagement party, bridal shower or even wedding, I would highly recommend PJ.

From the initial booking process to the end of the event PJs Bartending LLC went above and beyond! Showed up roughly hour/hour 1/2 before party, helped set up, slice garnishes and was prompt and ready to go once first guest arrived. Trevor was so kind and was a trooper during the excessive heat. Highly recommend PJs Bartending LLC for any/all events- you will not be disappointed.
