Avoid TL Bartending. One month before our wedding, they cancelled. While Tony was initially friendly and responsive, Larissa was curt and slow to communicate. They clearly don't wo...
rk well together.
Timeline of Issues:
* June 2024: Tony provided a quote and contract for our wedding bar service (champagne, one beer, one specialty cocktail, and non-alcoholic beverages; we'd buy and deliver). Deposit sent.
* January 2025: Email detailed drink selections and our plan to potentially rent glassware (as they only offered disposable).
* March 2025: Communication turned cold. They claimed the original quote was only for champagne pouring and that our requests were outside the scope, despite months of clear communication. They insisted on a revised contract with an added fee, even though our needs hadn't significantly changed (we were even willing to forgo rented glassware). It seemed Larissa, who hadn't been involved initially, disagreed with Tony's pricing.
* Late April 2025: We coordinated inventory drop-off with Tony (Chick-fil-A in Leesburg). When we inquired about a cocktail tasting, Larissa said we'd need to book a private event at a bar. We declined.
* Hours Before Inventory Drop-off: We received a cancellation email and Venmo refund with a vague text citing "further consideration" and differing expectations. They didn't respond to our requests for clarification.
Their unprofessionalism and last-minute cancellation caused significant stress. Do not hire TL Bartending.
Tony and Larisa are a great team. Super communicative, thorough, and honest. Their set up at our venue was perfect!
