Our specialty is turning your bar service into a polished, seamless experience that feels effortless for you and unforgettable for everyone else. Think: beautiful presentation, fast and friendly service, intentional details, and a vibe that looks as good in photos as it feels in the room.
What sets Rebel Spirits apart

Meet the team
John Van Matre
Owner, drink maker and toast coordinator!
Hi, I’m John owner and lead bartender of Rebel Spirits. I’ve always loved creating unforgettable moments for people, whether it’s mixing a signature cocktail or helping guests celebrate with a smile. With years of experience in the event and hospitality industry, I take pride in bringing great energy, attention to detail, and a personal touch to every celebration.
When I’m not behind the bar, you can usually find me on my motorcycle, meeting new people, and sharing a laugh or two wherever I go. For me, bartending isn’t just about drinks — it’s about connection, creativity, and making every event one to remember.
