I thought a bourbon tasting and bourbon cocktail themed party would be fun but knowing nothing about bourbon I was kind of intimidated. I contacted PBS and they responded stating that they had the perfect bartender Alex for the event. Alex contacted me prior to the event and gave me suggestions on bourbons and quantities I should purchase. The happy hour was so much fun and Alex was amazing to work with. He arrived early, set up and kept the drinks flowing. He was also extremely knowledgeable about bourbon which the guests loved. The party ended up going later than expected and Alex offered to stay later if needed which was appreciated and accepted. This will be the only bartending company I will use going forward as the quality of their service is superb.

Avoid TL Bartending. One month before our wedding, they cancelled. While Tony was initially…read morefriendly and responsive, Larissa was curt and slow to communicate. They clearly don't work well together. Timeline of Issues: * June 2024: Tony provided a quote and contract for our wedding bar service (champagne, one beer, one specialty cocktail, and non-alcoholic beverages; we'd buy and deliver). Deposit sent. * January 2025: Email detailed drink selections and our plan to potentially rent glassware (as they only offered disposable). * March 2025: Communication turned cold. They claimed the original quote was only for champagne pouring and that our requests were outside the scope, despite months of clear communication. They insisted on a revised contract with an added fee, even though our needs hadn't significantly changed (we were even willing to forgo rented glassware). It seemed Larissa, who hadn't been involved initially, disagreed with Tony's pricing. * Late April 2025: We coordinated inventory drop-off with Tony (Chick-fil-A in Leesburg). When we inquired about a cocktail tasting, Larissa said we'd need to book a private event at a bar. We declined. * Hours Before Inventory Drop-off: We received a cancellation email and Venmo refund with a vague text citing "further consideration" and differing expectations. They didn't respond to our requests for clarification. Their unprofessionalism and last-minute cancellation caused significant stress. Do not hire TL Bartending.

I don't live in DC, so I haven't personally hired Cocktail Ovations, but I have been in DC twice in…read morethe last several months, and both times, my friend Ava B. threw house parties with the help of Changa O. I wish I could hire her to tend bar at my house parties in LA. She's awesome, and seems to make hosting an absolute breeze. Changa's rate is reasonable, and she shows up with a car full of bartending supplies, everything from mixers to folding table. Her basic package goes for $275 for three hours, and that includes an hour-long consultation, a signature cocktail, juices and sodas, cordials and liqueurs, homemade infusions and purées, garnishes, napkins, bar supplies, ice, coolers, etc. etc. She saves you a lot of headache and a long, involved shopping, and then makes your party run. She's skilled and professional. She makes a ginger margarita that is truly delicious. I was staying with Ava the night of that second party, so I was around for the wrap-up, and we ended up talking with Changa and another guest for a while at the end of the night. I know I'm Yelping her business, but it's worth noting that Changa herself is a very warm, thoughtful, intelligent person, someone you'd totally want at your party. If you're looking to hire a bartender in the DC area, call Cocktail Ovations immediately.

This year I didn't want to deal with running out of things, bringing ice, etc. I will say we had a BIT of a responsiveness issue in the beginning trying to engage with them, but once we got Mimi on the phone, she was just fantastic. I LOVED the staff that was sent to run our event. All three were fun, professional, hardworking and made some great drinks! We did run out of wine with about an hour left to the event (and we only had beer and wine and two signature cocktails) which was super disappointing, but we made the best of it. I would 100% hire them again, especially if we got the same bartenders and they brought extra wine! The signature cocktails and mocktails they put together were fantastic. Mimi won't let you down!

We had an event for 60 people. The problem started with the crew not arriving in time. We arranged…read morefor a crew of four at 6pm, in time to show them the place and give instructions before people start arriving at 7pm. Our plan was to do that and then prepare ourselves for the event. I called Irving at 6:10 to tell him that the crew had not arrived to see if he had any information. He insisted that the captain had arrived, which was not the case, and appeared more interested in scolding me for not being calm than for solving the problem. He said he would find out more but never called back. 2 servers arrived 6:15 and the captain arrived 6:30. That appeared to be business as usual to them, so my guess is that they are used to that kind of informality. What started badly turned to disaster: the captain told us that the fourth crew member would not arrive because she had an emergency, but that I should not worry because they would manage somehow and that I would receive a refund. I told her that it was not a matter of refunding, that it was unacceptable not to comply with the service contracted when they show up to perform. She called Irving or someone but it was not successful, and we had to manage with 3 persons rather than 4, which did have an impact on the event. The excuse to justify the unexpected absence of the fourth crew member was a medical emergency. Nobody would believe that, especially given that nobody from the company appeared particularly surprised or apologetic. That Irving never called back is telling. Even in the unlikely event that it is true, you cannot run a professional business like this without someone standing by as a backup. They are not professional. Prestige Events does not get a rating of 1 only because the workers who showed up, even if late, performed to satisfaction.
