I cannot recommend Swift and Stiff enough ... they are amazing! One of the reasons that we chose our wedding venue was because we were able to bring in our own food and beverage. My husband and I have both worked in the hospitality and food/beverage industry for a long time and we wanted to make sure that we were able to choose a company that would make the planning easy on us and that would give our guests amazing service and drinks the night of our wedding. We definitely weren't disappointed! The owners, Chad and Samantha, made the planning process so easy ... they walked us through the entire process, helped us figure out our menu and offered really helpful advice and insight along the way. The night of the wedding, the bartenders arrived on time, set up their beautiful bar and made sure that everything, including a table of pre-poured champagne was ready to go once our guests headed in for the reception. From then on it was smooth sailing and our guests never had to wait for a drink! The bartenders, that night, were professional, friendly and fun and absolutely helped make our wedding reception a night to remember!
Stephanie and everyone at swift and stiff were great! We opted to have them help us with purchasing the alcohol our selves and they made it super easy and clear for what we needed to purchase. The bartenders were great and all of our guests had a great time.
Chad and the entire team at Swift and Stiff were amazing! They came up with a great cocktail menu and a list of how much alcohol we should get. The day of they set up and broke down everything super quick! Drinks were delicious and the bartenders took great care of us and our guests. They made sure to save the last few specialty drinks for us and our parents. Could not be happier!
Any questions?
My husband and I are very picky cocktail people, and these were the best old fashions we’ve ever had!! Thank you so much for providing such high quality cocktails for our guests - we were so impressed!
We had our original catering option opt out at the last minute so we contacted Swift and Stiff with not much notice. They were happy to help us and were more than accommodating. They offered a wide variety of options and the customer service was top notch. We will definitely recommend it to any friends or relatives having any get together. 5 stars well deserved.
I recently acquired Swift and Stiffs services for my wedding. From start to finish, they were extremely professional, through, and flexible as our wedding was last minute. There bar setup and selection was remarkable and the bartenders (Chad and Theron) were extremely knowledgeable, quick and great with our guest. If you're looking for the best in the business, look no further! Thanks again guys!
We booked with Chad for an 85 person wedding, and the team was outstanding. We found Swift and Stiff last-minute when our previous bartender fell through. He communicated with us regularly, set up a tasting for us immediately, and designed drinks that were custom-made for what we wanted. The bar tenders at our wedding were friendly, and they made their drinks quickly (but good!) so there was rarely a long line for the bar. People raved about the drinks all night. Highly, highly recommended - we would work with them again in a heartbeat!
My fiance and I were referred to Swift and Stiff from a friend via Facebook when we asked for bartender recommendations in San Diego. Samantha, the owner is extremely responsive and professional. We had two bartenders, Samantha the owner and Jonathan, serving beer, wine, and hard lemonade for 130 guests. The bartenders were absolutely amazing and our guests loved them! They were professional, friendly, personable, and kept our guests happy with quick service. In fact, I think many of our guests found themselves hanging out at or near the bar much of the night because the bartenders were so much fun! The prices were extremely reasonable for the outstanding quality of service we received. I would highly recommend hiring bartenders through Swift and Stiff.
Super professional! Innovative drinks that are quite tasty. They made our night so special. I’d highly recommend Swift & Stiff if you’re looking for a top quality experience for your guests!
I absolutely loved using Swift & Stiff! Their staff was extremely friendly and professional but also easy-going. They answered all of my questions and kept me in the know throughout the whole process. The bar set up was beautiful and their cocktails are AMAZING! I will definitely be using Swift & Stiff again in the future and I highly recommend using them for any of your mobile bar needs, they'll cater to you
This was honestly the best setup for a bar I've seen at any event I've attended. Their bar broke up into sections so the traffic wasn't jam packed at any point through the night. They were fast and accommodating all around. The bartenders were very knowledgeable and great at their craft. They had a HERS and HIS section as well as a jockey box pouring those San Diego craft beers which I can personally say everyone thought they were fantastic. The cocktail for the gentleman was a twist on an old fashion and all I know is it represented the fall in every way. The cocktail for the ladies was a gin infused with apples among other ingredients and was a huge hit. The cocktails were executed perfectly and made for everyone to enjoy. Swift and Stiff made the whole process from when we sat down to when the big day ended so easy and smooth. This company exceeds all expectations and would highly recommend them for your event! Thank you guys for an amazing night of cocktails and excellent service.
I can not say enough good things about this company. We booked them for our wedding event fall 2018 and our special day was beyond perfect thanks to Swift and Stiff. First of all they were super prompt in all their responses to my millions of questions. Very professional, knowledgeable, and talented at what they do. I come from an service and bar industry background which makes me extremely picky when it comes to bar beverages and service. These guys blew me away with their creativity and design. They made a special "his and hers" menu for our wedding, totally their idea! I gave them my budget breakdown to which they helped me come up with awesome drink offerings within my budget and helped me with ordering the alcohol. I've always disliked weddings that offer "chardonnay and Pinot Noir" and some neon color cocktails for their event; with bartenders that wear a tie, vest, and cheesy white collared shirts. The cocktail industry is turning over a new and exciting leaf. Craft cocktails are becoming the norm and I'm SOOOO glad I found this company to be at our wedding. I literally cant say enough good things about them. Thank you guys so much!
This is the best mobile bartending experience I've ever had! Not only was their set up absolutely beautiful but their cocktails were amazing! They were true to their name, professional and on time. They were clear and up front about their pricing and so easy to work with which is much needed with all the wedding planning madness. I plan on using them in the future for all my events and would recommend them to everyone who's looking for a mobile bar, they are the best in the business. Thank you again for being so easy to work with, the amazing drinks, and gorgeous set up!
They are the most professional and well set up staff I have ever had the pleasure of working with.
Super easy to work with. Appreciate their creativity & going above & beyond to create a custom menu for my event!

We appreciate your kind words, the drinks we ended up going with were such a hit!
Best bartending service that you could possibly have on your special day. I recently went to a wedding that swift and stiff was working and have never been more impressed! Polite, creative, professional staff! AND GREAT DRINKS! I can’t wait to hire them for one of my own events.
My fiancé and I booked Swift and Stiff for our engagement party and we couldn’t be happier. Their service was amazing and really made our engagement party great.
The mobile bar set up was classy and nicely decorated. Chad, Samantha, and Johnathan were all so nice and friendly to our guest. They also worked with us on creating a His and Hers specialty cocktail that was a huge hit. We have nothing but nice things to say about the team and we definitely hope to work with them again in the future!
