The Alexandria Aces Collegiate Baseball Club, an IRS-deemed 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation,…read morehas teamed up with Jon Hoffmeyer and Mobile Event Bars for three events, this year, and each and every one has been a tremendous success. Jon has a very top-shelf, first-class operation, with Mobile Event Bars, which has significantly enhanced the Alexandria Aces' profile in our community. The outstanding craftsmanship of Jon's work with each of his bars shows that he really cares about making events stand out and shine, so-much-so that many of our fans have personally asked us for more information about Mobile Event Bars for their upcoming events, receptions and parties in and around Alexandria. Jon's attention-to-detail and personal interest in our goals of what we wanted to achieve for each of our events helped our ball club reach out to a wider fan base of our community, that, in turn, prospectively will bring more fans into our ball park next summer. The Alexandria Aces will continue to work with Jon and build a long-lasting partnership with him and Mobile Event Bars for many years to come. We sincerely endorse Mobile Event Bars and highly recommend Jon's business. He's top shelf! To aptly use a great baseball cliche, Jon is really 'hitting 'em out of the ball park', with Mobile Event Bars! Pat Malone Co-Founder Alexandria Aces Collegiate Baseball Club www.alexandriaaces.org

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.

We hired Ro, Cara, and Devo for our Halloween party last year, and they completely exceeded our expectations!!From the very beginning, they took the time to understand our guest count, helped determine exactly how much beer, wine, liquor, mixers, and supplies we would need, and even created a custom cocktail menu for the event. They thoughtfully included delicious mocktail options for our pregnant guests, which was such a wonderful touch. They arrived with absolutely everything--bar setup, cups, napkins, supplies, garnishes, and all the details I would have otherwise spent countless hours coordinating. Their organization and preparation were impeccable. Drinks flowed all night, guests were happy, and they never ran out of anything. They were constantly one step ahead. Beyond their professionalism, Ro, Cara, and Devo are genuinely wonderful people. They are friendly, funny, engaging, and have the kind of personalities that instantly put guests at ease. They helped keep the energy up, interacted with everyone, and even assisted with cleanup. It felt like having trusted friends who also happened to be incredible event professionals. They took so much stress off my plate and allowed me to actually enjoy my own party. That's priceless. We are already looking forward to having them back for our Halloween party again this year. Thank you, Ro, Cara, and Devo, for making our event such a success. You are truly amazing, and we can't wait to work with you again!

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!

He immediately went into set up mode, and changed into costume that added to our themed party. He brought his own equipment and was very efficient in serving numerous guests concurrently. My guests loved interacting with him and it looked like he was having a good time as well.
