Shake It Up Bartending

ight Zone. As the mother of the bride, dealing with the disastrous domino effect of the owner Tiffany's actions severely affected what should have been a perfect day. If you want a professional, reliable vendor, look elsewhere. Our issues started gradually during the planning process. Leading up to the wedding, Tiffany’s communication started to fall off. She missed a scheduled appointment with one of our other vendors, moved phone calls, had to be reminded to send us information we discussed. and ended up being rude to our guests at the welcome party. Unfortunately, her behavior on the actual wedding day at our beautiful venue in Hood River was vastly worse. From the very first drinks served at cocktail hour, Tiffany was stumbling and highly intoxicated. Because of her state, she completely mismanaged the bar setup. She failed to chill our beer and wine ahead of time and completely neglected to set up the rented glassware we provided. Tiffany was shockingly out of it to our guests and entirely incompetent handing them specialty cocktails that were almost straight tequila and adding ice with her hands. Her behavior was so unacceptable that her two contracted employees threatened to walk out. In order to keep them there so our guests could actually get drinks, we had to pay those two employees extra out of our own pockets on top of what we already paid Tiffany and Shake it up. Since the wedding, Tiffany has refused to refund us what we paid her, despite completely failing to deliver her service and forcing us to pay her staff extra just to stay. We have since learned that she has an extensive record of issues going way back. Save yourself the heartache, stress, and money. Please spread the word especially to any brides getting married in the Hood River, OR area. Do not use Shake It Up Bartending for any event.
