This guy almost ruined our wedding!!
Total scam artist, and now he has ghosted us after offering to refund us for the 3 hrs he was late. We had nothing to give our guests as he as...
sured us he had it all covered down to the bottled water and cups. Cocktail hour with no cocktails to serve our guests. We had to serve dinner with no drinks. One of the guests actually saved the day when she left the wedding and went to abc and grabbed liquor and mixers and then hopped behind the bar to help us out. It ended up costing us over $400 more in liquor because we did not even know at this point if he was gonna show or not.
When he finally did show, he should have had more than enough liquor to last the last couple of hours left but actually had ran out of a lot of specific stuff like rum, bourbon, etc..
After we got back from the honeymoon, we heard from multiple guests that he was doing shots of our liquor behind the bar, but he ran out of liquor. Why?
We were also told that he asked a 13yr old to give him a 5 star review, to which her aunt replied, "You know you are talking to a 13 yr old right? His reply was, "I don't care as long as she gives me a 5 star review."
Did he serve her too?? Why in the world else would you ask her for a review??
I would absolutely NOT go with this bartender. He is incapable of such a responsibility, and your special day deserves way better than what this guy has to offer.
Hire at your own risk!! Did my mom's party. Tasty signature drinks but he's very slow to respond except when he's looking for payment. I am also out of $52 from ordering a bottle o...
f 1 of his signature drinks. He requested I pay upfront which I did. He then made excuses for meeting with me to deliver the bottle and has since ghosted me after I've requested a refund. No bottle and no money back. Criminal behavior.
DESERVES 0 STARS - a DISASTER.
I don't want to say too much because we are contemplating legal action (yes that bad). But there will be a more in-depth review coming, just wanted ...
to try and save others before they book.
CAUTION!

Unfortunately, our recent experience with Taylor Made...
Bartending has been anything but reliable. We initially contacted Evan in January regarding a refund that we were owed. He promised to refund us in February, but failed to do so. After some communication, he assured us that he would issue the refund in the first week of April.
However, it's now past that date and we still haven't received anything. Despite multiple attempts to contact him, we haven't received any response from him. This whole situation is not only frustrating but also disappointing.
To make matters worse, Evan claimed to have received a sudden promotion, which led us to pay an additional $200 (non-refundable) for alcoholic beverages. He said he wouldn't refund that amount, but promised to give us the alcohol instead. However, he has not responded to our calls or emails, and claims to be busy or unable to answer. We feel ignored and abandoned, and he is leaving us in a difficult situation.
It was very easy to get a hold of him at the beginning when he was trying to make a sale. However, now that we're asking for our refund or the promised alcohol, he has gone silent. We will continue reaching out to him until we receive a response, but we wanted to share our experience with others who may be looking for bartending services. We'll update this post as soon as we get a response, the alcohol and our deposit.
