Wanna bring the cool factor to your next party, wedding or event?…read moreI highly recommend VIP Bartending if you want to bring things to the next level. Awesome bartending skills.....you want a speciality drink created you got it! Serving staff that aim to please no matter what the request is or how large your numbers are and all professionally done. Theme parties or just an air of class...the sky is the limit. Dave is the man who can make dreams come true. He did a wedding with over 400 guests that I attended which was through the roof; people were blown away! Dave has a knack for taking the stress out of the event and making it the party of all parties. Through his magic he managed to pull off something that most people will never relive again outside of a wedding. From what I seen that night, VIP is a must for your next event big or small.

When I was planning my wedding, I realized that in order to run a successful bar, we needed a…read morebartender. Instead of forcing one of our friends to get a serving it right certificate and spend the night slinging drinks, I did some google searching and discovered VIP Bartending. I made a phone call and immediately got a hold of Dave, who is the owner of the company. Dave's mantra is making sure that your wedding bartending is as low stress as possible. He is a very busy man, but he always returns phone calls and emails without fail. He is fantastic at answering many different questions, and even looked over our liquor list to make sure we didn't buy too many spirits that would end up unopened at the end of the night. We got married in New Westminster, which has way more liquor license rules and fine print than any other city in the lower mainland. Dave not only answered our questions and clarified the rules, but returned many panicked phone calls. Some perks about his bartenders: they come with their own set of tools, and purchase all of the limes, lemons, and ice for the evening (which you pay for at the end of the night or a few days after the wedding). They can also provide a float for a cash bar. Our bartender was Chris, and he was super friendly, personable, and made delicious drinks. I'm sure he also enjoyed our chemistry theme with beaker mugs for drinking glasses and test tubes for shots. Now for the important part: price. The deposit required to book VIP Bartending is $50, which is payable however you like (cash, cheque, or credit card). For our wedding, we hired the bartender to work from 4 PM to 12 AM. Our bartender showed up at 3 PM to set up, and was finished after midnight. The final cost for his services was $209, or $22 an hour plus HST. If you decide to get VIP Bartending to buy the liquor license for you, the cost is $25 for the license and $75 for the service ($100 total). I will admit that the bartender was probably one of the least stressful aspects of our wedding, so Dave was definitely true to his word. If you need a bartender for an event, I highly, highly recommend VIP Bartending.

We needed bartenders for a work event a couple months back. Since it's the first big work event I…read moreorganized, I had a lot of questions but Pamela was very, very patient and accommodating and made very good suggestions I wouldn't have thought of. We purchased our own beverages but Pam delivered ice and bins early on the day of the event so drinks will be nicely chilled by the time the bar had to be opened. The bartenders she assigned to us were Cindy and Sienna and they were also wonderful. They gave very good suggestions on how to set up the bar and get lines moving efficiently and also offered help in other areas needed for the event to run smoothly when the bar wasn't busy. We will definitely go for YVR Event Staff again in the future as Pam and her team are amazing to work with!
