Southern Sips of SC

Southern Sips was the best decision I could have made for my special event. MaryFrances and her crew were absolutely amazing. Everything was exactly how I imagined it. I used them to bartend my daughters 30th birthday. I met with her a few times to pick a menu of drinks and try some of her specialty drinks. They were all great and had a hard choice deciding. Their service was worth every dime I spent. I will book them again!!

I chose Southern Sips to do my daughters engagement party and it was the best decision. MaryFrances and her team are very kind and you can see the passion they have for it in their work. Both bartenders never stopped going above and beyond. I chose their BYOB package and they still went out of their way to supply extra things. They were amazing and can’t wait to see them again on the wedding day.

I don’t believe 3500 characters is enough for what I need to say.. We contacted her by a business card we had received from a local bridal shop. (She wasn’t on the knot at the time) Before the wedding she was very communicative and attentive. MaryFrances was asking me all kinds of questions I never even thought to bring up. She helped us make a drink menu that my now husband & I were happy with. We decided to have two cocktails, beer and wine at dinner and then for the reception we added three shots. I was happy with everything she had to off prior to the wedding. 02/05/23 The day of the wedding I felt like everything was going to fall apart around me. The morning of everything is going great. We are moving in the right direction with our time frame & then all of a sudden we went off road and I was flying by the seat of my pants. The food caterer was late and didn’t call to let me know anything. Our photographer NEVER EVEN SHOWED (that’s a whole other story) but this woman right here was a major help to me and my nerves that day. She came to the venue early and set up so that she could be ready to go when she was needed. MaryFrances made sure my bridal party as a whole had waters to drink before hand. She was very respectful in knowing that I didn’t want a buzzed bridal party. I never once had to figure out where she was. When MaryFrances was done setting up she came by to let me know and of course I was overwhelmed and snappy with everything else. (I am still so sorry about that.) She stayed professional the entire time and never once caught an attitude or snapped back at me but when she realized that it was because I didn’t have a photographer she took it upon herself to call in a friend of hers. I knew this wasn’t apart of her job as our bartender & I knew that she didn’t have to do any of what she did for me that day especially after all of my emotions ran together and was spewed on her but she still went above and beyond to help me. My wedding day may have been a complete and utter disaster but Mary Frances did all she could to help. Thankfully because of that it all worked out! I was praying this was a nightmare I was going to wake up from not realizing she and two of my bridesmaids were making things happen. I didn’t find out until later that night that she had even done that for me & I cried when was told. I don’t know this woman from a hill of beans but I can’t give her enough praise for all that she did. MaryFrances went out of her way to make sure my day was perfect and I couldn’t have been more thankful. That night at dinner & the reception it was a hit! I never heard one complaint about her not getting drinks out fast enough. She was friendly with all of my guest (we had approximately 50/60 people in attendance). There was hardly ever a wait & if there was it was only because she was making a gazillion shots at the time. During that time even though we knew she was tired and had a lot to handle behind the bar she never once showed it. Her personality is top tier and I couldn’t have been more satisfied with her business demeanor. There just aren’t enough words to describe how grateful we were for everything she had done. She may be a small business but she has a big heart and I just love her for it all. Thank you again for being absolutely amazing.
