We hired Chris for our Christmas party. He is very professional but also a fun addition to the party. He we definitely be invited back for all our corporate events read more

We decided to use Bartenders2U for my father's birthday party and man Chris is the best! Not only was Chris an expert mixologist he was a key component to our party. The guests simply loved him and he knows how to vibe with a crowd. read more

We were referred to Bartenders2U from our coordinator, and we're so happy we went with them! Chris is awesome to work with, and incredibly sweet. He was swift at replying to all my questions and provided a pretty accurate shopping list for us. Last minute, like week before wedding last minute, we had reached out to add the photo booth to our package as our previous vendor had dropped out - and he had responded instantly and got everything set up. You're able to use your own strip design if you wanted (which we did) and the pictures get printed out right there.  Chris, you're awesome and make amazing drinks! Thank you again for helping create such an incredible day. read more

Multiple phone calls and messages unreturned. When I finally reach someone I ask for Chris. I'm told he's not around and they ask who is calling. I say who I am and suddenly unavailable Chris is the guy who answered the phone. Sketchy. We set a time to chat later in the day. Surprise no call back. Sent emails and no response. I've seen his work before so I was shocked when I read reviews that were so negative, but now as a consumer I'm realizing how awful his communication and customer service is. If I can't trust you to return a call how can I trust you to bartend for a large party? They may be great, but that's a big if. I'm not comfortable working with someone who I can't even get on the phone or via email. Putting clients at ease and giving them a level of service and assurance you're up for the job goes a long way. Being unresponsive and unreachable speaks more volumes than that. read more

I booked Chris for my wedding a couple years ago and honestly the worst decision I've ever made on my wedding plans. He does not reply which made me feel so nervous as I already put a deposit down. Keep in mind that this was on my wedding day which is one of my most important day of my life. Chris decides to show up one hour late and tells me one of his bartenders called out sick. I had a wedding for 150 people and now I only have one bartender. I also paid extra for a second bartender and Chris said he will refund me as there was only one bartender. After many many many calls and emails. No answers! No refund! A bit of my wedding ruined by Chris. This still haunts me and I'm finally able to write this review and let this be a warning to you! DO NOT BOOK CHRIS FOR YOUR WEDDING! read more

People are still talking about the cocktails!!! My husband and I got married five months ago and I can't tell you how many people (drinkers and non drinkers) told me how great our bartenders were and how yummy the cocktails were. We had a whiskey lemonade, which I was a little skeptical because I figured clear liquor went with lemonade better but I trusted Chris and it was an absolute hit!!! We know a lot of wine drinkers and we had a lot of extra wine but completely ran out of whiskey by the end of the night. Chris was easy to work with during a stressful season of planning. I would highly recommend this team of bartenders to anyone. They were fun and helped make the perfect night! read more

I can't even review the actual service because we never got to that point. I had a quick turnaround time to find a bartender, so I called around to see if businesses were available for a Christmas party. I think it was Chris who said he was definitely available and would love to take the job. He requested that I fill out the online form, so I did and waited two days, hearing nothing from him. I finally called again and let him know I filled out the form and really needed to know if he could do it or not, he said he definitely could and he would send me info that day, he had just been busy. So I waited again... and nothing. I ended up with no bartender at all, and incredibly disappointed with this business. If you can't do it, just tell me! read more

Had to find a bartender for a school fundraiser. Booked him for April 6, 2019. Paid a $399.99 deposit which we would get back when we met the minimum, which Chris said he was going to send us back our deposit a long with a donation. It's now Aug 7th and after multiple attempts to resolve this, it has lead me to leave a bad review. Book at your own risk. It's sad that they would do this to a school. He's not from the area either. Lesson learned. I gave plenty of time to resolve this. DON'T BOOK HIM! read more

I was recommended to Chris for a photo booth service on my wedding day, June 7, 2018. Chris was on time and ready to go. All the guests enjoyed his company at the photo booth. They said he was polite, friendly, and had a friendly sense of humor. The kids couldnt get enough of him and his photo booth. Thank you Chris for all your services and enhancing the vibes at my wedding through the rooof. Highly recommended! read more

Had the pleasure of working with Bartenders 2 U at wedding in Elk Grove. The team was very social, professional, and really knew how to pour quality drinks with a rush of guest. I would highly recommend them to cater to your party needs! read more

I just recently went to a friends wedding and was extremely satisfied with the bartender. Dylan was very knowledgeable with drinks and also very friendly. I also asked if he would be able to be the bartender at my wedding next year. I will be contacting them for my wedding. 10 out of 10, would drink again. read more

Amazing cocktails. Can run a party like no one's business. I love the creativity in drink names for our industry event. And these folks are cute as ever! Of their drinks don't make your party look good, the will! read more

I hired Chris for my wedding 3/30/2018. I spoke with him about setting up earlier for the event which started at 3:45, he said no problem I will be there. I also asked to have a mini bar set up outside where the appetizers would be served and he assured me there would be no problem and that he would take care of it. Two weeks prior I emailed and called for a grocery list that they are supposed to provide. It took a while for the response but eventually the list came through. When I spoke to Chris on the phone prior to the wedding I explained that I did not want people to get intoxicated and to make sure that no one was served alcohol if they seem to have had too much to drink, he also assured that was not a problem. The day of the wedding, it was about 2:30pm and he was not on site to chill the beers, wine, etc. or setting up yet. I called and no answer, I had to call a few times and finally he said he would be there in 15/20 minutes. He showed up at about 3:05pm. Everything was fine to my knowledge my bridesmaids said he was setting up quickly. Come to find out there was never a small bar set up outside with the appetizers, just the main one inside. I would say that was due to lack of set up time and he must have simply forgotten at that point. During the wedding I asked how the bartender was and everyone said he was great and was moving quickly so I thought I did not have anything to worry about. By the end of the night I was told that Chris was intoxicated and making inappropriate comments to not only the bridal party but also some of the vendors and their staff. While I know that bartenders do get offered shot and do take a couple, I would expect a professional to know when to cut it off or spit it into a beer bottle. He was more intoxicated that most of my guest. I asked my dad to go speak with him and ask him to leave, which he did. However Chris would not leave, so I then asked my brother to go remove all of the alcohol from behind the bar and when he did Chris said, "whoa whoa whoa, what are you doing?" I then went over and went off on him. He was highly disrespectful and I then told him about how he was unprofessional and inappropriate with my guests on top of being late. He was so intoxicated he began to argue back and told me I only paid for 3 hours of his services... hhmmmm the email with my shopping list clearly says 3:45pm-8:45pm, anyone who can do math will tell you that that is more than 3 hours. He was recommended to me and I have already contacted that vendor to tell them about the experience and I would never recommend him to anyone ever! As a bartender, you should know how to carry yourself and he absolutely did not do that. I am highly upset that he was so unprofessional and did I mention that using his shopping list we ran out of vodka in less than 2 hours of the party?? Oh yes, it happened and that it very embarrassing to run out of something so soon into the party. read more

This company is the best! They are so helpful with anything that you need! Very easy to communicate with as well! Dylan is the go to guy for your event, very professional and hardworking! He definitely made my wedding less stressful! Thank you guys so much! read more

We hired Chris as recommended through a mutual friend for our bartending services as we as our Photo Booth for my husband's and my wedding. He was definitely a great choice for both, however there were some difficulties during the transition from cocktail hour to reception. It took a long time to get the bar set up since he was busy setting up the Photo Booth at the same time. Unfortunately, it was during dinner when most people didn't have a drink. One of my guests yelled at him, regrettably, but he handled it like a pro. He had a young woman there helping her, but I'm not sure what her role was since she didn't do much until the bar was finished. However, we got a great deal so I really can't complain too much. He was a great bartender, the drinks were delicious, and everyone seemed to having a good time, and that's what matters. Chris, thank you again for your patience and handwork. read more

We used them as out bartenders and for the photobooth at our wedding. They treated each guest amazingly and even had fun with us. They were very professional but so much fun! read more

We hired Chris for my 30th birthday party! Him and Eileen did an excellent job of bartending for the 50+ people we had. They both are funny, nice, and professional at the same time. I will defiantly be hiring the again for all of big functions! read more

I scheduled and paid for a certified bartender in July for our NYE party. I wanted to ensure we would have a bartender guaranteed for our specified date, as I know NYE is busy. I maintained communication over the months in between just to make sure we were still on schedule. An hour before our scheduled start time, he texts me for the address!! At that point someone was supposed to already be at our house preparing for our party start time! Needless to say the person - Schuyler (who was scheduled by the owner Chris) never showed up, he instead sends a construction worker an hour and 30 minutes late who admitted he has never made a drink in his life! He was NOT certified & NOT licensed! Instead myself & one of my guests has to make the drinks. I've been told by Chris that he would take care of me and make this more than fair...which I responded I want a refund. He has yet to respond to my requests for a refund via texts & email. I have contacted the BBB as well. Beware if you have an important event contact another company. read more

Chris and his crew were perfect and friendly for our wedding. The guests enjoyed them and they even saved and served some shots for the bridal party at our table. Along with that Chris helped me plan a shopping list with our limited alcohol budget and a menu that everyone enjoyed. They made great drinks that both me (a hard whisky drinker) and fruity drink enthusiasts loved. I would definitely recommend them to anyone else for an event whether on a tight budget like we were or otherwise. Their kindness and end-to-end services were awesome. We plan on recommending them for some of our other friends getting married as well. Thanks Chris and keep up the good work! read more

We were extremely happy with our choice of Bartenders 2 U to serve cocktails, beer, and wine at our backyard wedding! Along with our family and friends, we were delighted with how tasty the drinks we had selected turned out! Chris and his staff are true professionals, were a pleasure to work with, and were responsive from our initial inquiry up through the event itself. We truly feel Bartenders 2 U helped to make our event special, and could not recommend them highly enough to anyone seeking fun drinks for guests on their special day. -Karen & Matt, Sacramento, Oct. 2017 read more

I just went to a NYE house party and Bartenders 2U was handling the drinks. He did such an awesome job not only mixing the drinks but being super professional and easy going.

I hired Bartenders 2 U for my 50th birthday party. Chris was very helpful with suggesting what drinks to serve as well as how much alcohol and mixers to purchase for the party. I also appreciated how flexible Chris was as I had a last minute venue change due to the weather and he was very accommodating. And I can't say enough about how great each drink Chris made tasted. Everyone at the party enjoyed their drinks and had an awesome time. Hire Bartenders 2 U, you won't be disappointed! read more

Chris and his team absolutely saved the day for our charity auction with roughly 150 people in attendance. Last minute, our governing organization told us volunteers could not pour and we would have to hire professionals. With less than a week's notice, Chris was able to staff our event. They proved to be very knowledgeable about all the different types of wine, what should be chilled, and how it should all be served. And! They cleaned everything up before they left! Highly recommended! read more

Chris and his staff just bartended my wedding of more than 150 people. They simply poured beer and wine for our guests but did it with such fun, enthusiasm, and professionalism! We received many compliments from our guests. In addition, bartenders2u is the most affordable company you will find for this kind of excellent service! I highly recommend you choose them for your next event! read more

I am an event planner by trade. Can't say enough good things about Bartenders 2 U that came out to our party last Friday. He came dressed in the appropriate "bartender" garb. Smiled through all my party goers request and made excellent mixed drinks. No complaining on setup or breakdown and stayed an overtime with absolutely no resistance. Highly recommend! read more

Hi Chris, we sincerely want to thank you soooooooo muchhhh for your very hard and dedicated work on Saturday (special thanks for remembering the bride's drink without asking). I knew you was working extra hard. I was very very happy with your service and will definitely refer you to my next 6 cousins + 1 sister when they have their wedding in the future and if they considering having Open Bar at their wedding. read more

Experience started off great! Booked Chris within 24 hours of inquiring. But then once I paid the final amount a month before my wedding, I didn't hear from him for three weeks. Then had a horrible time getting a hold of him the week before my wedding. Honestly I wasn't sure if he was going to show up & he certainly didn't treat me like a valued customer. So in short, overall communication experience was pretty crappy, but the bartender who did show up did a great job...still wouldn't recommend because it was a really stressful experience. read more

We used Bartenders 2 U for our Wedding Reception. The Owner Chris is very nice but communication definitely needs improvement. We asked for the bartender's contact information a few days prior to the wedding and received no response. We didn't press the issue however it would have given us peace of mind to hear something back. Luckily, someone showed up that day and none of us went thirsty. read more

We got the photo booth + bartender package for our wedding since it was a good deal compared to other vendors. Communication was a bit tough in the months preceding our event, and we often had to follow up by phone to get a response for drink lists, photo booth backdrops, etc. On the day of, we were at the ceremony when they arrived so didn't see them set up, but what we did see was that they left about 1 hour before their scheduled departure time. This was disappointing because we and a lot of our guests were waiting until after dinner to go get our photos taken, but by that time the bartender and photo booth people had both packed up. I notified Chris about that afterwards and he said that he had to deal with a family emergency and had to send other staff, and that we would be refunded for the hour since they left early. However, a month has passed and we have still not heard back. The photos that our guests did get a chance to take looked good, and I guess the bartender was fine (we got mostly non-alcoholic cocktails since it was a beer/wine venue). But we are still frustrated that we and our guests lost the opportunity to take photo booth pics (something we had been really looking forward to) at our once-in-a-lifetime event. Even if they only wanted to stay 4 hours, or had to leave at 9:30 for some reason, they should have told us in advance so we would know to at least notify our guests to go get their photos taken. Overall, price was decent, but service was lacking and missing out on the photo booth was one of the few disappointments of our wedding. read more

Great bartender. Loved every bit of Dylan. Awesome customer service. Makes great drinks. Literally chat and drank for hours with Dylan. Very nice. read more

Bartenders 2 U is a really great company to work with! Not only do they have excellent services and highly qualified staff, they are personable and helpful.

After getting married at SF City Hall, we had a cocktail reception at my mother's house for 30 people. We contacted Chris at Bartenders 2 U and we couldn't have been happier with the spectacular service and professionalism of Chris and his team. He worked with us one-on-one to cater to our needs, set up the bar and make sure our guests were happy - all at a great price! We had many, many comments of how great the bartending service was and how nice Chris was to all the guests. He helped complete a very special evening for us. We highly recommend Bartenders 2 U! read more
