We met Chad and his team at our Launch Party and LOVED working with them. Along with creating amazing drinks, they were fun, personable, and professional. For special events, the bar is a big deal, which means selecting the right bartender is so important. The person behind the bar contributes quite a bit to the tone of your event, and Chad and his team were on point! Keeping it classy but fun.
