Tonic & Lime Boutique Bartending

d organized, and was so clear in her process - without a doubt one of the easiest vendors to work with throughout my planning. Beyond that, Amber was incredibly kind, helpful, patient and genuinely fun to work with. We requested a very specific cocktail (a Jet Pilot), and she didn't bat an eye. The drinks were unbelievably delicious (not a single person I spoke to failed to mention how good the cocktails tasted), and she helped me track down an entirely local beer and wine list. She answered every question I had thoughtfully and kindly, and was even wonderful enough to deliver a couple bottles of sparkling wine to our barn where we were getting ready after my dad accidentally bought alcohol-free prosecco. Talk about saving the day! I will be genuinely very sad to not have reasons to email Amber and pick her brain or ask for her help and advice. She might have to deal with me emailing her just for fun to say hello once in a while, haha. If Tonic & Lime is available for your big day, book them right away. I loved every second of my experience with Amber and her team.

f info to help us determine the quantity of drinks to order and we were able to place our alcohol order through them as well, which was great to get something off our plates. We hired two bartenders for our wedding with 80 guests and never felt like anyone was waiting too long for a beverage. The bartenders were extremely professional and made it a point to introduce themselves to us and make sure we were happy the entire evening. And most importantly, all drinks were amazing :)

they arrived, before the ceremony and then throughout cocktail hour. Amber was great to work with during the planning stages. They set up at the bar outside of the farmhouse and it was so fun watching people arrive and get a drink and socialize as I was hiding inside, ready for showtime! They crafted two specialty cocktails for us and also served a beer and sparkles option. Our bartenders Katie and Chris were amazing!! They were so positive, congratulatory, and expressed they wished they could stay longer! Though this is their job and I'm sure they've seen a million weddings, they really made us feel special and like it was their favorite day ever too. Wish I lived in northern Michigan so I could hire them for parties and more events!! Highly highly recommend.

and helpful. We would not hesitate to hire them again!

ended up running out of red wine after cocktail hour and their team gladly ran out to purchase more for us with our card for the rest of the evening (our August wedding felt more like a fall day, so it was preferred over other drinks at the time). Thank you for going above and beyond!

ct, etc.) Stacie did a fabulous job bartending at our wedding. We would recommend Tonic and Lime and would definitely hire them again for an event.

hey were able to make drinks that we didn't even know were possible for our guests! They were efficient and patient the whole night, which I am sure could not have been easy. Leading up to our wedding, Amber sent us a very thorough document that walked us through all the quantities of alcohol, and we were really please that we didn't have too much of an abundance of leftover alcohol. We did run out, but that was near the end of the night. We can't thank you enough for all of your help and keeping the party going!!

uy (and it ended up being a great estimate). They were very accommodating of our signature cocktails and did a great job making them, including a less common one with blackberry liqueur. In addition, Amber had worked with our venue before and her knowledge of the procedures and collaboration with them made the process run seamlessly and efficiently. Amber was always prompt and responsive to emails and even offered to provide and deliver ice to the venue because our venue doesn't supply it. Another pro of Tonic & Lime was being able to buy alcohol from a third party through them- this streamlined the process significantly! The bartenders also did a great job on the night of--all of our guests got great service.

were very accommodating and the value of their services is unmatched. The bartender was very sweet and very quick as well. I have no complaints. Bonus if they’ve worked with your venue before too! They were able to set up, serve guests, and clean up with no questions for us.

, and our bartender Abby was so much fun during the event! The cocktails we created with Amber’s guidance were delicious and beautiful to boot thanks to the quality mixers and garnishes Tonic + Lime provided, and we felt like we were in such good hands throughout the entire bar planning process. If you have the opportunity to work with Tonic + Lime, don’t hesitate to book them!

advice through the phone on how much to buy. The service was great and professional. We would recommend tonic and lime bartending for anyone who needs a bartender at an event!

staff! Her bartenders were so kind, fun, and caring! They were professional, fast, and friendly with all of our guests and genuinely seemed to enjoy themselves. They also nailed our signature cocktails! If you're thinking about adding this to your package - we'd HIGHLY recommend it! We gave Amber ideas for what we like and she helped us tailor creative and delicious drinks that were a really fun and special addition to our cocktail hour and reception!

she is very knowledgeable. They made us our signature drink of a moonshine sour and people still tell me it was the best signature drink they have ever had at a wedding!!!

re fabulous all night long and all of my guests kept commenting on how quick, efficient, and friendly the bartenders were. Amber the owner was so easy to get in touch with throughout the wedding planning process and helped me every step of the way. I HIGHLY recommend them for your bartending needs, I will definitely be using them in the future for other parties, etc. -Alison Meyers

nning and personalizing service with Amber, to great bartenders that everyone loved at the wedding.

ht that was new to them (Pisco) and was for our signature cocktail, and they executed it perfectly! All of our guests were raving about it, and it was so good, it was the first drink to run out. Professional, fun, and skilled...what more can you ask for in a bartender?

ch and we just overall really enjoyed the experience.

were the perfect vibe for our group! The bar was perfectly set up and organized, and they were able to keep the line moving super quickly so no one was waiting around for too long. Amber helped us craft some cool signature drinks that fit our style before the wedding, and they were a huge hit with our guests!

d Shannon were our primary bartenders for the night and we couldn't have had better ones! So many of our guests commented on how they were impressed that the bartenders were remembering what everyone was getting! I also heard, after the fact, that there was an issue with my father being disrespectful to them, but my guests that overheard that interaction said that they both handled him with such class and grace, I am even more impressed with them (and terribly sorry that it even happened-he has an unfortunate reputation). I was also unaware that at least 2 guests brought their own specific kinds of alcohol and had asked the bartenders to keep it cool for them. They did this, and while they did not have to, I appreciate their flexibility. Amber and I had a slight misunderstanding at one point, but she was so kind and easy to work with, it didn't even matter. The alcohol distributor that she works with didn't have one of the primary ingredients for my "Hers" drink, she spent the day before my wedding driving around to different Sam's clubs trying to find it. I know food/drinks are one of the main things that people remember from a wedding, and I am so very thankful we had these amazing people to give our guests a good time!!!

nd did an outstanding job all the way around. Don’t look any further for your bartending service!

nothing but positive comments! I would highly recommend Tonic & Lime for any event!!

were outstanding; our guests were raving about them all night. Thank you for being part of our day and keeping the drinks flowing and party going all night long!

and professional. I highly recommend them. They are truly worth the hype they have.

out and purchase our own alcohol and trust Tonic & Lime with the rest. Amber was extremely flexible as our wedding day plans changed due to COVID, even down to a few changes we made the week of the wedding. What I loved most was the way Amber viewed herself as part of the team to ensure our wedding day was perfect, pitching in wherever needed. Multiple guests commented on how kind the bar staff were. We couldn't recommend them more highly!

ce it came down to about a month before the wedding, we requested a couple specialty cocktails of Amber - leading her to create the PERFECT espresso martini. Luckily, we bought some extras of the ingredients, and still have some weekly :) Her team was very professional and lovely to have at our wedding!

b with our signature drinks and helped make a cute sign for our bar options. Definitely recommend working with them!

wedding special and unique to them. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for an amazing team for beverage services.

with providing some of the items I could not find. I would hire them again for any event even if it is not a wedding. THEY ARE AWESOME

their service and organization on the big day. I have no complaints from my experience. Tonic and lime even surprised us with a small wedding gift and made their own sign for the drinks. They provided the little details that made our special day a little bit sweeter.

among other things and even went as far as letting us do a fun tasting of it a few weeks before the wedding! It involved some pretty specialty ingredients like hibiscus simple syrup and they created and provided all of it! We used these cocktails instead of a champaign toast and it worked out perfectly. Everything went perfectly smoothly, there was never any waiting, everyone was able to get the drinks they wanted both during the cocktail hour and reception. They really went above and beyond! As the person doing a lot of the coordinating I found the team easy to connect with, they answered all our questions in a timely manner, and during the event they truly took care of everything - I didn't once have to think about our bar service except when they were serving me a drink :). You definitely want them as part of your Up North wedding dream team!

the woods (and rain!) and Tonic and Lime helped make it magical.

ily recommend to all.

before we hired her. She was there early and stayed as long as we wanted to. Even when the bridal party was the only ones left at the hall, she stayed to make us drinks, even if it was after the scheduled ending of our wedding reception. She was great. I would definitely use her service again and recommend her to anyone!!

to organize and ice drinks because our bartender was there only about 20 minutes before the time they were supposed to be. Our bartender removed and swapped out our taps because she couldn’t figure out how to operate them cross contaminating beer, and in term ruining one of our kegs. We paid additional funds for ice to be provided and there were only 3 small bags brought for an entire evening of festivities, if we had not spent $25 on bags of ice drinks would have been warm. Totes or tubs were supposed to be provided and only 3 small ones were. Bottles of wine that supposedly were empty were taken for what purpose I’m not sure. Last but not least the day of the wedding not even an hour before the ceremony my husband had to run to the store (which we were out in the middle of nowhere) to get plastic cups because the plastic cups that we had on the tables i had spent hundreds of dollars on were someone not plastic enough?! But that was NEVER discussed in any email or contracts, AND the bartender ended up using those after a couple hours ANYWAYS. Absolutely do not recommended this beverage company to ANYONE probably why they changed their name not long ago.

e also created a cute bar menu to help guests decide on what to order. Our bartender Heather was awesome and several guests commented to me about what a great job she did. Highly recommended!

thing mixer and citrus related — we just had to provide the booze. Cannot recommend enough!

those expectations! They were kind to our guests and our vendors and I made everyone feel special. I also never found myself without a drink in my hand and a team member was constantly coming by and pouring more champagne in my glass - such a nice touch! If you're considering hiring Tonic & Lime for your wedding or event - just do it! You won't regret it!

ider for your wedding needs. Amber is an expert at setting up and staffing her events, and not only are Tonic & Lime's bars well organized, but stock is managed and maintained throughout the night so guests are served efficiently and you never have to worry about running out of anything. Tonic & Lime's staff are professional, super nice, and were always willing to lend a hand with other parts of food and beverage service throughout the evening, which is above and beyond their role! Clean up and tear down of events is effortless and simple, and this service alone is well worth the value in hiring quality bartending services. Definitely make hiring Tonic & Lime a priority when you are planning your Michigan wedding. Thanks Amber!

owner) was so great about communicating and helping us plan. We chose the option to purchase all of the alcohol ourselves, while they provided all of the mixers and bartending staff. It all worked out so great! They were very accommodating. As an example, we had our cocktail hour outdoors. They were very flexible about setting up an outdoor bar for the cocktail hour and then transitioned to an indoor bar for the actual reception. They are true professionals and did a wonderful job at our wedding. If you are looking for a bartending service that is reliable and great at what they do, use Tonic & Lime!
