We hired Shawn to bartend my dad's retirement party and he was absolutely amazing to work with! He was incredibly helpful not only the day of the party, but throughout the weeks leading up to it. He answered all of my questions, gave me great advice, and even helped with shopping lists so I knew exactly what we needed and how much to buy. The day of the party, everything went so smoothly and it was such a relief knowing the bar was completely taken care of. Shawn was professional, friendly, easy to work with, and really helped make the whole experience stress-free. We don't throw a ton of parties these days, but anytime we need a bartender in the future, Shawn will absolutely be our first call. I can't recommend him enough! read more

Shawn was the bartender for our wedding and I cannot recommend him enough! He was so helpful and patient with my many questions and emails beforehand. He had experience bartending at our venue before which made it easy to understand expectations and what was needed from both of us. Our guests raved about him which made us feel even better about our decision to work him. read more

Shawn was amazing! If I could give 10 stars, I would! Great communication, and very professional! He had excellent drink selections, and created a helpful shopping list so I could pre-buy the alcohol. He arrived early and worked hard through the entire party! He battled the heat and the bees (that was a first) without a complaint. Our guests loved his drinks! He prepped all the mixers ahead of time, which kept the bar line short, and he helped our 75 person party run smoothly. Highly recommend and will have him back to help with future events! read more

Shawn was awesome! He was set up and ready to go right when we needed. Our guests loved the menu he put together for us and was a pure professional. Nobody ever was waiting on a drink! We'll be bringing him back next year again for our summer party. Thanks a ton! read more

Let's talk about Shawn! My husband and I booked Shawn for our 60 person wedding May 2025 and all we could talk about was how amazing his service was. Shawn is so friendly and makes the most amazing drinks. In all honestly, I've never had a better mule in my life! Please please please book Shawn to work your special event. Shawn was so reliable and easy to work with. I didn't have to worry about anything. Shawn took care of everything for us on our wedding day and we'll be forever thankful for that! read more

Shawn is an excellent bartender! He's very professional and responsive leading up to the party, and he helps make all the planning very simple. Then during the party, he arrived ahead of time and was ready to go exactly the time requested. His setup and preparations were perfect, and every drink he made was great! He was very friendly and very accommodating with all our guests and truly made the party very enjoyable! Shawn's expertise made that part of my party planning a non-issue. And everyone was very grateful and impressed with his service throughout the night. I highly, highly recommend him for any occasion! read more

I've never seen a vendor be so quick to get back to me. Shawn was responding to my messages so quickly I knew I was going to be in good hands for my wedding. He had answers to all of my many many questions leading up to it and his quote was easy to understand. He'd broken down each part and the cost and even had the ability to extend the time if we wanted for a small extra cost. He has several signature drinks to choose from and can also make some not even listed. I'd chosen about 5 drinks to offer our wedding guests. When it came to cost, there were no surprise fees or problems with equipment he brought most things (ice, soda, coolers) himself all I had to provide was the alcohol. The day of he got there early enough to get everything set up for himself and be ready for all of the guests. From guests I heard he even went out of his way to help set up some things that weren't just bartending. He helped make the whole day perfect. The drinks were amazing, I'd really wanted a lemon something and the blueberry lemon drop was perfect. I'd brought some edible glitter to add to them and he made the drinks sparkle and taste incredible. The drinks we'd offered were the old fashioned, strawberry margarita, blackberry mojito, Moscow mule, and the blueberry lemon drop martini. Shawn took the time to even make a custom menu for us that made ordering easy. My guests told me all night how he was a pleasure to speak to as he was very kind and funny. Shawn even chased some guests down to make sure they got their drink they'd ordered!! He was definitely someone I didn't have to worry about at all and when you're planning a wedding, that's absolutely huge. read more

Shawn was absolutely amazing! From start to finish, it was a seamless process. He was quick to respond to my inquiry, and I had a quote within a day.

One of our other vendors even ran out of ice and he was nice enough to give them some of his! Would absolutely hire again for a future event. read more

My wife and I hired Shawn to bartend our baby shower and Shawn provided excellent service. He was very fast at providing a quote, responsive when I had questions, and very accommodating. Ultimately, Shawn's excellent communication sealed the deal for me to hire him. He also went above and beyond by creating menus, including a tasting menu for my many kinds of whiskey, and served our ~70 guests beer and crafted cocktails. Also, help us with some additional setup, preparation for games, and was willing to stay an extra 30mins upon request. Would highly recommend hiring Shawn for one of your events. read more

Shawn did an incredible job at our party. One of the first vendors to show up and set up (he beat us there), I wasn't even sure it was him because he was lending us a helping hand in so many other ways such as helping us to transport decorations on his wagon. He even helped us set up our food trays and offered suggestions for how to arrange them. And he even helped us take group photos of our guests. He is a super nice super helpful all around guy with a servant's heart. We will surely hire him again for future events. Thank you Shawn for great service! read more

I can't recommend him enough! Shawn was very attentive in menu planning before our event, even offered to send us a buy list.

Had a 60's themed party for my parents and decided to get a bartender so our guests wouldn't have to make cocktails. Found Shawn here on Yelp, read the great reviews, reached out and it was a done deal. His prices are SUPER affordable and he is a true professional! Our backyard party was made classier by having him there. We had a spot in the kitchen for him, got everything he would need, he brought a few things of his own and he set up the bar to his liking. Looked perfect! He makes great drinks, he's very clean and just seriously a nice guy. In the last two weeks I've had several family members and friends comment how cool he was and such a great bartender. We'll definitely be hiring him back as a bartender someday and maybe just inviting him and his family to hang out as friends! Lol Seriously though, if you're considering having a bartender, hire Shawn! You'll be glad you did! read more

We were looking for a bartender for our 200 person wedding and I came across All Occasions Bartending on Yelp. My wife and I both contacted him at different times and he was quick to respond. He helped me figure out the math and how many drinks I probably need to purchase. Every question I had he was quick to answer, both via email or on the phone. During the event, we had specific drinks for specific people and he was very accommodating towards our needs. Shawn came early than asked to set up. He answered every question with a smile and the wine and beer kept flowing, and it was just him for a 200 person wedding. He also set up the jockey box I rented and broke it down very easily. At the end of the night everything was cleaned and put away. He followed every rule and regulation the Event Center had. If you're planning an event, whether big or small and need a bartender, do not hesitate to call Shawn or All Occasions Bartending. read more

Shawn is a gem! I hired him for my husband's 37th birthday (yes, we celebrate those milestones!), and he helped with everything start to finish. He provided a list of common drinks, suggested how many to pick, I had fun re-naming them for the birthday boy and that was it. Shawn literally handled the rest, from bringing ice to garnishes, the physical bar and even the menu. I sent him pics of the alcohol I already had on hand and he gave me specifics of what I would still need to buy. This guy is a one-stop shop and his drinks were a big hit! Will definitely be reaching out to Shawn in the future for more occasions (definitely the 38th birthday, if not sooner!) read more

Shawn provided bar services for our two day wedding event. He was on time, professional, and engaging. Our guests were very satisfied.

My now husband and I hired All Occasions Bartending (AOB) to host our wedding. Shawn was our bartender and our point of contact. Shawn is the best vendor we had the pleasure of working with. From the day we contacted AOB for a quote, Shawn was attentive, quick to respond, and answered all our questions. He was so helpful and patient when it came to deciding what alcohol package we wanted. Shawn went above and beyond to show us a break down of the packages and when it was time, also helped by giving us a shopping list. On the day of the event, he was approachable and friendly. His customer service went from a 10 to a 100 by going above and beyond in remembering some of our guests drink order. We also had many guests compliment Shawn on his great service. I cannot express how grateful we were to have him host our event. My husband and I highly, highly, recommend hiring All Occasions Bartending for your next event. read more

Shawn is incredible!! He helped me every step of the way in planning which drinks to serve at our wedding (listing pros and cons for each option to help me decide), how much to buy and where to buy it. He was so understanding and accommodating when I called him from the grocery store with questions. Even while he was on vacation he called me to follow up and answer questions. He is a gem of a human and an extraordinary bartender!! His drinks and delivery are also ammmazing! Professional and personable. Our wedding was 2 weeks ago and we still have people commenting on how wonderful Shawn was. I seriously can't say enough about this guy! read more

All Occasions Bartending - Having this guy be a part of our wedding was the BEST DECISION EVER!!! - Bartenders Near Me - Placentia, California

We got married a little over a week ago and hired Shawn after reading the great reviews. We had a beer and wine bar and although there were a few hiccups (that were not at all due to him), it turned out wonderful. He was very friendly, courteous and prompt during the entire event. Will definitely be calling him for any future events we do! Thank you Shawn! read more

I hired Shawn for my Company's holiday party, and OH MAN it was the best decision I made. I don't even know where to start other than to say at every single step Shawn exceeded my hopes both as a bartender/company and as a person. I took forever choosing a date but Shawn was very patient, he consistently followed up and was avail for all questions. Once I booked Shawn, we chatted on the phone and he walked me through every detail, from where to put the bar to the drink menu, to how many drinks we should estimate per person and followed up with exact perfect details. Every email, phone call and text he answered quickly, Kindly and with all the information I needed. For the event, he was on time, a superb bartender, had a great set up. I had MANY vendors with this event and Shawn was the only one I never worried about if he'd be there or if he'd do great. I really do not write these reviews often, but Shawn deserves it. Now stop reading this and go hire him, then give him a big tip for how amazing he is (which he will be). read more

This review is a year overdue (sorry Shawn!!) but here it is! My now-husband and I hired Shawn for our wedding a year ago and it was such a pleasure working with him. We weren't fully sure how many guests we were going to have when we first contacted him, but he was very flexible and communicative, and worked with us along the way. Once we did have the number of guests, he gave us a shopping list with how much alcohol to buy and also had drink suggestions (we went with the mango jalapeño margarita for our signature drink - SO GOOD). He offers many amenities (like cups, ice, mixers, garnishes, etc.) which is so convenient so you don't have to worry about buying anything other than the alcohol, and you can customize what you need him to provide depending on the needs of your party. He was also accommodating enough to extend the time of his services during our reception since the flow of the party was still going strong. Our guests definitely had a good time that night! I highly recommend Shawn and All Occasions Bartending for your wedding or any event you may be hosting. If you're on the fence - just hire him already! You definitely won't regret it. read more

All Occasions Bartending provided their services at a 120 person private charity event at our residence. Shawn, the owner, personally covered the event. I messaged several companies/individuals using Yelp and Shawn was one of the first ones to respond. There were several other companies who were very professional and communicative, but Shawn came across as being very reasonably priced, down-to-earth, accommodating, friendly and someone willing to go the extra mile. Shawn was very responsive with his communications via email, text, and calls. Prior to the event, Shawn provided us with all the necessary paperwork and laid everything out in clear terms in a contract. Shawn met with us several days before the event to consult on the drink menu and location of the bar. After the consultation, Shawn provided a shopping list, which made it very easy for us to prepare for the event. On the day of the event, Shawn arrived earlier than expected to setup his bar to get everything displayed properly. Shawn helped us with four "specialty" drinks for the evening, but his jalapeno margarita was a super hit! In fact, we ran out of tequila because of his margarita an hour before the event ended. Towards the end of the event, Shawn accommodated us by staying a bit longer and by being very reasonable in his calculations of the extra time. After dismantling the bar, Shawn even helped organize and put all the extra drinks away properly. Thank you to Shawn and All Occasions Bartending for making our charity event and celebrations fun and memorable. read more

We actually did not end up using Shawn because of a few conflicts that came up, but he was quick and professional in providing us with a quote for services. I am sure that if we had gone with him, he would have done a great job--but unfortunately we had some issues with our venue that wouldn't allow us to use his services. Do yourself a favor and get a quote from him; you'll get great value! read more

We hired Shawn for our son's wedding reception . BEST decision ever! Shawn responded quickly to any question during the planning. I needed someone to help with food service and Shawn suggested someone who was perfect! Shawn showed up early to be FULLY prepared for the party. He provided EVERYTHING but the alcohol, which makes it so much easier! Great personality, very professional. And the drinks were great too. When I said he provides everything but the alcohol, I mean.... ice, water, sodas, juices, mixers, cups, straws, napkins, and his own bar. Perfect! If I ever need bartending services again, I will definitely call Shawn! read more

Unlike most vendors, Shawn showed up EARLIER then the agreed time and we spent about 20 minutes finding the perfect location for the bar. Originally we wanted it inside, but it worked better outside (fortunately we had heaters!). We requested a certain "drink of the night" which he helped us locate the ingredients and made with perfection! His professionalism and detail was very much appreciated and helped to make our party a success! read more

Shawn you were amazing ! My wedding day went perfect, all my guests were amazed at how great the bartender was.

I recommend Shawn to everyone I know who needs a bartender, he truly is amazing at what he does and he is so detailed in what to have at the venue for him to provide the best service ! Thank you so much Shawn ! read more

All Occasions Bartending covered our 300 guest wedding in Downtown LA. At our venue we had the luxury of providing our own alcohol and then hiring a bartending service which saved us big bucks. Shawn (owner) was very responsive and apologized if there were a couple days of delay of a response, I discussed with him my vision and he sent a "shopping list" of things we would need. From that point we just ordered through Bevmo (comes with free delivery over $500) and then we were good to go! Shawn and his team arrived promptly and set up and were VERY busy the entire night as our friends were having a great time, so they were pretty much hustling the whole night. They had really great attitudes the entire night and as busy as I was being the bride I could tell they had great rapport with our guests. They are a great service and will definitely contact them for any future events. Thanks guys! read more

Shawn went above and beyond our expectations when we decided to hire him for our wedding.
