We hired The Guilty Garnish to serve our wedding and we're so glad we did! Kelli did an amazing job customizing our cocktails based on just a little bit of input on our end. She helped us create a shopping list for our alcohol to save us money and she handled sourcing all the mixers and garnishes. She was so good at serving our guests and very personable. So much so, that many of our guests came up to us and complimented our choice in bartender. They absolutely loved the cocktails, beer, and wine as well as Kelli. I'd highly recommend Kelli and The Guilty Garnish for any event!

If you want the best bartending service then please choose the guilty garnish! Scott was our bartender and he did AMAZING! Everyone loved the drinks and he was extremely kind! The espresso martini was 100/10 . They were helpful, kind, professional and excellent at what they do! I would say this is the best bartending experience I’ve ever had!

We hired The Guilty Garnish for our 50 person wedding, and Kelli was an absolute rockstar!
In the months leading up to the wedding, Kelli was incredibly helpful. She provided us wi...
th recipe ideas based on our preferences and was always there to answer any questions we had (and we had many!).
She crafted the most delicious blueberry lavender mule for me, complete with homemade blueberry and lavender syrup that was simply divine. She also made a mean old fashioned!
On the day of our wedding, Kelli was on top of everything and went above and beyond to ensure that our day was everything we had envisioned.
Kelli is kind, professional, and excellent at communication. She’s your go-to gal for any event bartending needs. She works extremely hard, is incredibly skilled and knowledgeable, and genuinely loves what she does. She’s just all around awesome!
We have also worked with her business partner Scott throughout the years, and he is just as professional, knowledgeable and personable as Kelli. They make a great team!
I highly recommend looking no further for your event bartending needs. You’ve already found your vendor!

e thoughtfully included. From the creative touches to the flowers, food, and overall logistics, everything was beautifully executed and felt so personal to them.
What really stood out is how well Kelli works within Asheville’s amazing wedding community. She connected Kadie and Colton with incredible vendors—from the flowers to the food, officiant, and music—and every part of the day flowed seamlessly because of it.
It was clear that Kelli genuinely cared about making their wedding exactly what they dreamed of. The entire celebration was beautiful, joyful, and perfectly organized. I would highly recommend Kelli to anyone planning a wedding in Asheville. 💓🙌🏼
