say, the bartenders themselves day of were amazing. They did the job perfectly and none of my gripes are with them.
On the first call were told to buy a certain amount of beer. Great. We did that. On the second call we told him how much beer we bought, the amount that he told us to get, and he said "Its not enough." Fine. We buy more. We had so much beer left over it wasn't even funny.
We were told to buy a certain amount of champagne and ran out in the first ten minutes. So disappointing.
I'm not saying don't use them... but be wary.
I feel like we paid too much considering they didn't provide ANYTHING. We did the drinks, ice, coolers, signs, cups.... everything.

l be paid.
We hired PR bartending at recommendation of our venue and reading positive reviews for a wedding in October of 2023. Interacted directly with Kevin in the wedding planning phase who was pleasant and helpful. Kevin allowed us to modify services offered, determine what would align with our projected budget, promptly provided us updated quotes, and provided a purchase order. Overall very easy to wok with in palling phase. There was one small pre-wedding issue in which PR Bartending changed addresses and did not notify us, resulting in our final check payment to be delivered to the prior address. We only learned of the address change when Kevin reached out regarding the missing payment, but he did NOT charge us a late fee.
On the day of the wedding, all bar related items were organized/set up as per our contract and discussions. During our cocktail hour our guests notified me that bartending was not serving draft beer. Our day of coordinator was not notified of this problem (as if standard for vendors). Our contract with PR bartending did specifically state that WE were responsible for ensuring the setup and proper function of the kegerator. I identified myself to Kevin and attempted to work to identify the problem. Kevin, seemingly frustrated did not provide a clear answer as to if the kegerator was working properly and what the specific problem was as to why beer was not being served. I assigned two individuals familiar with kegs/draft lines/carbonation systems to troubleshoot the issue, they were able to remedy the problem (CO2 regulator needed adjustment) but it took them considerable time as Kevin was reluctant to physically move and let the in the space near the kegerator. While this was during a busy point in cocktail hour and the space was small, clear communication and a degree of flexibility from PR Bartending would have allowed quicker resolution.
Later on that evening approximately 1 hour prior to the pre-determined conclusion of bartending service I went up the bar to obtain a drink for myself and my bride. Kevin recognized me and before I could ask for a drink immediately stated “I’m x amount short” and asked how I was going to pay the remainder of the balance of the tip jar (as per contract). I left the bar area to find my checkbook to write the remaining balance but was intercepted by several guests. When I returned, 30 minutes later a family member informed me that he covered the remaining balance as a wedding gift as the bartending was asking for the bride or groom to rectify the balance on the tip jar.
Other than the terse interactions, our guests reported good service and well-made drinks. I was pleased to hear that our guests had better interactions than we did however, I would expect more cordial interactions from a wedding vendor with the bride and/or groom.

Dear Eli and Mackenzie: Thank you for your detailed feedback. Know that all feedback helps...
us improve and we appreciate that.
A gratuity shortage is never an easy subject to broach and for that reason we now offer couples, families, and planning professionals an array of alternatives related to our gratuity.
The third-party CO2 tap system’s regulator failed in its pouring of two different beer brands. Following numerous attempts to fix the problem by all involved, including our bar team, we ended up having to pre-pitcher the beer. Not once were we able to pour a proper pint straight from the taps. This is the dreaded pitfall of keg beer in a service where we have only one chance to get it right. However, under tremendous pressure everyone chipped in, and we got it done.
We especially appreciated all the comments noting the beauty of the bar set up and the quality of our service. It was a pleasure serving you and your kind guests at The Preserve in Tamworth, NH and we wish you both a lifetime of happiness.

with the bar and alcohol for our wedding, but Kevin was so detailed and thorough from our first call with him that he helped us clarify exactly how we wanted things to go from the moment our guests hit the bar after the ceremony to last call at the reception. I don't know what we would have done if we hadn't found Kevin because there were *so* many things throughout the planning process that he thought of that we would never have known we needed. From picking a signature cocktail that was in line with our taste but simple enough to be made quickly, to exactly how much glassware we'd need, Kevin thought through every single detail with us. On our wedding day, everything went seamlessly, our guests never waited long for a cocktail, and we always had a drink in our hands! On top of that, Kevin is just a great guy and he and his staff were always pleasant and super professional to work with. We can't recommend PR Bartending enough!

We purchased the alcohol ourselves for the event and Kevin did a great job in understanding our drink preferences and providing a shopping list for drinks, mixers, garnishes and ice for the event (we had 140+ people).

We had an overall great experience with the bartenders and would recommend them for your next event.

and my husband and made sure we never had empty water or cocktail glasses. We both felt so taken care of and our guests reported feeling the same.
Would highly recommend this company to provide an excellent bar experience for your celebration!

I wouldn't have thought the bartending services would be such a hit at my wedding, as it seems so standard, but I am still hearing 2 months later how much the guests were impressed...
! In addition, the event was held at a family owned venue, and my husband's family is still talking about how it was the best bartending service they have ever had at the Inn. In fact, they are going to be recommending PR Bartending as a preferred vendor to future guests hosting events. Patrice & Kevin were fantastic, from initial consultation and questions, to working on a purchase list, to the big day. They were really helpful in navigating what you need, and what may be wasteful, which I appreciated. The communication was excellent for questions as well. Day of, staff was so professional. The bar was spotless, their attire was very nice, and they interacted with guests so graciously. They were making mixed drinks and champagne cocktails I didn't even know were possible with our purchase list! Finally, the clean up and care for the venue was above and beyond. If services were needed in our future in NH, we will definitely reach out to PR bartending again.

Kevin and Jada were amazing! Through the whole planning process Kevin was supportive and answered our questions in a timely manner. He was very knowledgeable and understood what we...
wanted for our big day.
Jada was our bartender and she killed it! Our guests were raving about how great she was! An absolute sweetheart. Unfortunately due to Covid we were not able to have a bar back as planned. I felt so bad she was going to be working alone. My father helped her set up in the morning and my wedding planner's husband helped her during the event. They had nothing but great things to say about her. A team effort to execute an amazing wedding!
Thank you both so much!

pared for our venue to the creative recipes he sent along for specialty drinks, Kevin stayed in close contact leading up to the wedding. The venue, a children's summer camp, was not a simple set up. Kevin and his staff created 4 bar stations in 2 completely different areas of the camp. He and his staff "weathered" the storm when rain changed our layout at the last moment. Serving over 200 guests at a summer camp, Kevin and his staff went above and beyond. I highly recommend PR Bartending & Waitstaff!

mely helpful throughout all of this process as we figured out all of the details. We had a family member make beer as a wedding gift and Kevin was great in helping us coordinate how to best highlight it on our menu. On our big day, Kevin and his staff were so great! He made everyone feel comfortable and was joking with all of our attendees. From setup to breaking down all our options we couldn’t have been more satisfied and we would highly recommend PR Bartending to anyone looking for bartending services for their wedding!

n was wonderful to work with while we were trying to replan. He was very helpful and tried to make sure we got the best bang for our buck with our purchasing. On the day of the wedding, they were so great! Our guests had only good things to say about the bar service, and they were great about making sure my now-husband and I had something to drink during the wedding day. Overall, an excellent experience!!

Working with Kevin was an absolute pleasure. He felt like more of a wedding planner than a contracted bartending service to us. We spent so much time on the phone with Kevin going ...
over details that Kevin knew were important but we hadn’t even thought of. Kevin’s extensive knowledge and background in the industry really gives him an edge while discussing and planning with brides. Kevin is also very kind and patient which comes in very handy when dealing with stressed out brides.
He really helped us reconfigure our wedding more than once when COVID challenges were being thrown at us from every direction. He dove into our state’s current guidelines and went above and beyond to make sure everything was going to be perfect for our big day.
The day of the wedding he arrived with his staff and they didn’t stop until the moment they left! They worked so hard the entire day to make sure I did not have to worry about anything. Our guests loved them and many of them commented on how friendly and efficient the service was. We could not thank Kevin and his team enough for making our big day go so smoothly! We highly recommend PR Bartending to anyone considering hosting a get-together or larger event, as I think Kevin has the expertise to cater to any needs.

PR bartending was a life saver! 2 weeks before my wedding I called PR bartending. They were able to bartend for us (thank god!) on such short notice. Kevin was so nice over the pho...
ne and guided us the entire way. The whole experience is totally customizable. He listened to what we wanted but also helped suggest things when I was clueless on what to do for certain types of drinks. He also suggested ways we could save money (like buying our own ice or buying cups online) but gave us the option of PR providing it all as well. So flexible! The day of the wedding they showed up when they said they would and were amazing! They were fast and friendly, so many guests told me that they even remembered their drink orders. There was several times throughout the wedding where I had an empty drink in my hand and Kevin would come and replace it for me. So sweet!
Now my wedding took place in august 2020 (during the COVID pandemic). Kevin and his staff were careful and followed protocols, but were still able to provide great service safely. They saved my wedding and I would highly highly recommend them for any event.

my wedding coordinator who originally found PR bartending decided she would no longer be a wedding coordinator due to Covid, the guest list had to be cut by over half and we had to do at our the house in the yard yard- throughout PR bartending kept me informed on the Covid rules, as they kept changing and never left my side as I became my own wedding coordinator! They gave me information that helped me save $$$ with rentals and just all around very nice to deal with! The day of the wedding poured buckets as they were setting up and never a complaint!
