Stacy & Sam

Owner

We started our company during the pandemic. We were both suddenly out of a job (restaurants were forced to close in LA) and decided to take matters into our own hands. Twist & Bitters was born. We take immense pride in our work and feel so blessed to turn our passion into our very own company.

Twist and Bitters were a business named on our preferred vendor list when booking our wedding venue. They did an amazing job bartending for our wedding at Into the Woods, Big Bear. The dual served up top quality drinks that are guest raved about days after the wedding. Thank you both so much for providing excellent service on our big day.

We used Twist and Bitters for our wedding, and they could not have been better! Throughout the whole process of planning, they helped us with a shopping list based on our guests needs, and were super communicative and helpful. The day of the wedding couldn’t have been better! The drinks were elaborate and delicious - our guests were raving the whole night (and rest of the weekend) about it! Beautiful setup, great service, super professional. Would definitely recommend for any occasion!!

Thank you Trisha! It was such a pleasure to be a part of your special day. Hope to see you...

We own a wedding venue in Big Bear and Twist and Bitters has worked at least a dozen weddings here over the past couple years. We first met them when one of our clients booked them for their wedding here. We’ve also seen their 5-star reviews here on TheKnot and Wedding Wire. My wife and I were blown away by the professional of Sam and Stacy. They are truly next-level bartenders. I say this as the son of a bar owner. With Sam and Stacy you get two very experienced bartenders, not a bartender and a bar back. This allows them to comfortably handle even the largest weddings we have here of 125. There is rarely a long line and if there is it’s because one of the guests wants to have a chat. I live this about Sam and Stacy. They are the opposite of some of the robotic bartenders I’ve seen previously. They smile and talk to each guest, asking them what they want and even making suggestions. Lastly, their signature cocktails are nothing short of amazing. To date my favorite has been the blackberry Moscow mule. They know I prefer tequila to vodka so they usually have that or one of their amazing old fashioneds ready to go when I walk up. Hire Twist and Bitters for your next event and I promise you will not be disappointed.

Thank you Jeff! We love coming up to your venue. It's always a good time :)

Twist & Bitters went so far above and beyond for our wedding! They worked with us every step of the way and helped make our dream come true of having a signature cocktail for each of us that was available before the ceremony, and then offering a special couples drink after the ceremony. Every guest was obsessed with the drinks! It was one of the most important parts of the day / night, and they did not disappoint!

Twist & Bitters was the perfect choice for our bartending needs. Their exceptional service started way before our event where they responded promptly to the seemingly thousands of questions we threw their way. Choosing them as our vendor was one of the best decisions of our day! We cannot thank Twist & Bitters enough for making our wedding an absolute success. If you are looking for a bartending service that will serve the best tasting, best looking, & most photogenic drinks, look no further! Twist & Bitters is all that and more.

They did such a great job! The drinks were amazing. They worked with us to craft the perfect signature cocktail menu with fun unique drinks that reflected our tastes. Their bar set up was super cute too! They were incredibly professional but fun at the same time. Great at communicating and always responded quickly. They did an excellent job all around. Best bartending team! Would definitely recommend!

I cannot recommend Twist & Bitters enough!! They were so communicative prior to our wedding day and were mindful of our budget when shopping.

They are truly a joy to work with and I absolutely recommend them to anyone for their next event!! Thank you both so much :)

Twist and Bitters is a must to have at your wedding. They create excellent signature cocktails and mocktails. They are very communicative through the process and let you know what to buy for the special day. I can’t wait to use them again for an event!

The best in the business. I have no complaints and no regrets. Their signature drinks were so good, we received a ton of compliments. On top of it, they are the nicest people! They worked well with us, our venue coordinator and all our guests. If you need a bartender for an event or wedding I highly suggest booking this amazing group.

Thank you, Miranda. So glad we were able to be a part of your special day!

Twist & Bitters are fantastic! The most down to earth couple. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR BARTENDERS, STOP LOOKING & BOOK! Almost ALL of my guests could not ranting and raving about the bar. The service was great, they were super sociable and fun, and made delicious drinks! (I had a jalapeño margarita - and everyone said it was soooo delicious). I can not stress enough how wonderful they are. You want them at your wedding. Also, Sam goes above and beyond to communicate with you prior to the wedding day. He will ensure that everything is perfect and exactly what you want. Thank you, thank you, thank you - twist and bitters, for being a part of our special day. I am so happy it was you two. Cheers! 🍻

I found Twist & Bitter online with no prior references or recommendations, so I was a little concern. However, from the first contact, they were incredibly attentive and professional. On the day of the event, everything was IMPECABLE! We received numerous compliments about them, from the presentation of the bar to the quality of the drinks and garnishes. Everything was perfect. I can't recommend them enough and I can't wait to have another event to work with them again. Thank you!

I highly recommend Twist & Bitter! They were a huge hit at my wedding/wedding reception with all our guests and they handled everything with the bar seamlessly, so I didn't have to worry about anything. Sam was very easy to communicate with when going over the needed details leading up to our wedding. And their craft cocktail selection is beyond impressive, making it so much fun to come up with a bar menu. Their bar is beautiful, their drinks are creative and delicious and have an amazing attention to detail with the garnishes. My guests were coming up to us throughout the night, telling us how wonderful the bartenders and cocktails were and I know a number of people took their cards because they want to use Twist & Bitters for upcoming events and recommend them to their friends. Sam and Stacy of Twist & Bitters are two of the nicest people I've met and worked with, and I will happily use them again and recommend them to all of my family and friends.

Wow. So Stacey and Sam were one of the best things at our wedding. They were everything you hope for and more from bartenders. Not only were they a great price, but they did craft cocktails and did them fast. There was never a long line at the bar (had less than 100 people) and the drinks were SO GOOD. They worked with us to come up with two custom drinks and even custom designed the menu to match our color scheme. Not only that, so many people at my wedding (many who are people who run events) came up to me to say how great they were. Also they looked great and the bar was cute as heck! I’d hire them for everything and anything forever. Seriously… book these guys.

We had a lot of amazing vendors at our wedding. I think our friends’ favorite vendor was Twist & Bitters. They are artisanal bartenders - homemade black sesame syrup and smoked whiskey? My friends still talk to me about how great they were - I do not even drink. You do have to purchase your own alcohol, but they will do the shopping for you and even work within your budget. It did not seem to matter that we got lower budget alcohol, because their drinks were so good. If we were to have another fancy party, we would definitely hire Twist & Bitters again and cannot recommend them enough.

Twist and Bitters did an excellent job bartending our wedding earlier this month. Notably, they had some of the best communication amongst our vendors. Sam, one of the owners/bartenders, was so kind and helpful during the planning stages of our wedding. He was always super responsive and thorough in answering all our questions. He also took the time to meet with us via zoom to discuss event logistics given we had a bigger wedding of about 160 people. During and after the wedding, we heard so much positive feedback from our guests regarding T&B including that lines were never too long and cocktails were very delicious. We even heard a couple comments about the bartenders personally smoking some of the drinks and chilling some of the shots. One of the guests said it was the smoothest shot they ever had. This is the level of service you can come to expect of T&B - bartenders who are passionate about what they do and can deliver true craft quality while also knowing how to run an efficient bar. We're so happy they bartended our wedding. We would absolutely recommend them and hope to cross paths with them again some day.

Twist & Bitters were nothing but amazing! They were a dream to work with leading up to our wedding, were incredibly flexible (it POURED on our day), and such a fun couple. They worked with us on a 'grocery list' and we provided all the alcohol. To say I am AMAZED at what they created is an understatement. Their garnishes and craftsmanship were stunning. We had 2 bartenders at the wedding and they were impressed as well! They went above and beyond the day of, making sure not only our guests were taken care of, but also that my husband and I were as well. They made my husband an extra special old-fashioned that he's still talking about. Not only were they extremely professional, but they were also SO much fun. Our group was fun, crazy, and out there and Twist & Bitters never missed a beat. I'm only sad I don't have another event to plan and have them at. Hire them for ANY bartending needs you have.

We hired Twist & Bitters for our wedding at a private estate in Indio. They were super easy to work with, SO genuinely friendly and fun, and most importantly, made seriously delicious cocktails. We did lavender French 75s, blackberry mules and spicy margaritas as our signature drinks and everyone kept complimenting how good, well-balanced and not too sweet everything was. Could not have been happier!

Sam and Stacy deserve every single one of these five star reviews! We cannot say enough good about them. Everyone at our wedding raved about our bartenders, including our friends who opted for nonalcoholic options. We had a small intimate wedding and Sam and Stacy were the perfect addition to the event! The menu had specialty cocktails in addition to a list of cocktails, and beer and wine. While we don’t plan on any more weddings in our future, we are already trying to find another excuse to hire them! We cannot recommend them enough!

Pre-Wedding: Sam was super responsive (especially grateful for that quality in the last two weeks of planning!), friendly and very accommodating. We had pretty specific requests and they came through and offered suggestions to enhance our evening as well! At the Wedding: The drinks were a smashing success - specifically the specialty signature drinks that T&B concocted! Not only that but they were quick to serve and always had a smile on - we fully plan to have them join us at future events

Found Twist & Bitters on The Bash and I’m so happy I did. I hired them for my wedding. We had great communication the entire time and they are very friendly & polite. We had so many compliments on the drinks. They were very flavorful with a classy unique presentation. We also added games which was a nice hit! People played Cornhole , Connect 4 & Giant Jenga. Twist & Bitters is the best in the biz. Affordable classy & unique with a nice set up . I’d definitely hire them again and I’m sure friends/family will too. So many people wanted their business card, including the vendor where we got married.

Twist & Bitters is ABOVE and BEYOND the best! You should no doubt hire them for your wedding or event. Not only do they have incredibly delicious and stylish drinks that everyone will rave about, but they are also incredibly communicative, prompt, and kind. We collaborated on the drink menu and they provided me with the full shopping list so that I could BYOB the alcohol and then created fabulous cocktails and mocktails for all of our guests. Twist and Bitters is SO professional, they make amazing drinks and are fantastic to work with. 6 stars if I could. Thank you Twist and Bitters for making my wedding day drink fantasy come true!
