We had an amazing experience with Mixing in Action and can't say enough great things about Liz and Joel, the owners and bartenders for our wedding. After working with them for my bridal shower in August (shoutout to Caleb!), it was an easy decision to hire them again for our wedding. I spent months connecting closely with Liz and truly appreciated the time and attention she gave us while helping plan our cocktail menu and shopping list. Her guidance made the planning process feel so much easier and less stressful. On the wedding day, the bar ran smoothly all night, the drinks were great, and our guests felt well taken care of. In addition to bartending, their team provided three servers who handled set-up and clean-up and did a phenomenal job. We rented plates and cutlery for 136 guests and were responsible for returning every piece -- the MIA team washed, dried, and accounted for everything, which was an enormous help. I truly cannot thank them enough. Thank you so much MIA Bartending team for all of your hard work, care, and professionalism. Ya'll are the best! ~ L&L Guerrero~ read more

My wedding was in October and we hired MIA for bartending, they were amazing! Liz was super professional and easy to communicate with throughout the whole process. Before booking, we went to a tasting and got to try a bunch of drinks to pick the perfect menu, which was such a fun experience. They also had a mixed shot called Mexican Candy, and it was a total crowd favorite, highly recommend adding that! Liz gave us an estimate for how much alcohol to buy, and after a few tweaks based on our guests, it ended up being spot-on. We barely had anything left by the end of the night, which was perfect. Our guests kept saying how good the drinks were and that it was one of the best wedding bars they've had. So glad we went with MIA, would 100% recommend them for any event! read more

I had a great experience working with MIA bartending my party. They were very professional, responded quickly and communicated very clearly about everything leading up to the event. Both our bartender and the busser were a huge help on the day as well. I would definitely work with MIA again in future events! read more

10/10 experience and would definitely recommend! We hired the MIA team for our wedding in October in the Palm Springs area. Liz was very communicative with all the questions I had. The tasting was great too! Her team was awesome! As for the wedding itself - her team was great and very hard working! So happy I booked them for our wedding, great experience from start to finish! read more

Mixing in Action made my wedding day PERFECT! Liz was so communicative and showed up ready and excited. Guests loved her and she kept the bar line moving quickly the entire night. I cannot more highly recommend them. Hire them now! read more

Mixing In Action - Bartenders Near Me

Liz and her husband were amaaazing to work with for our rehearsal dinner and wedding. She was super responsive up to and the day of our events and handled some guest issues with patience and grace. She provided a super clear shopping list for the alcohol for us to purchase (we went to Costco) and they brought the rest of the mixing supplies. It was so fun going for a custom cocktail tasting at their office and really felt taken care of. We went with the watermelon mojito, sunflower, and old fashioned for our wedding weekend cocktails which were each so delicious and well made. All in all I can't recommend MIA enough! Thank you Liz!! read more

Mixing In Action - Custom drink tasting!! - Bartenders Near Me

I have worked with Liz and the MIA team for a while now, and every event they work at, the bar is an absolute hit! They are all fabulous bartenders- attentive to guests, fast with drinks, with attention to detail and cleanliness! Thank you MIA team for always providing stellar bar services! read more

Liz and Joel did a great job at my daughter's wedding. I didnt have to worry about anything; professional set up, great service and they left everything clean and all left overs ready to carry out. I would highly recommend them for any future event! read more

Had a great experience with Mixing in Action for my son's party this last weekend. I've never had to hire a licensed bartender before (the event venue required it) they made the process easy and Liz (the owner) is communicative and a pleasure to work with. The bartender for our event (Callum) was friendly, polite, professional, and even rinsed out all the glasses after the event (something we didn't ask for). They are total pros. read more

MIA Bartending is awesome! They came recommended to us by our venue and trust us when we say we shopped around for bartenders - they are the ones that offer the most for the absolute best price. As we planned our wedding from abroad, we sent our cousins to the cocktail tasting for us and they loved their experience, saying that Liz was super sweet (which we also experienced during our email communication). Be warned that they are in demand so their availability for tastings and weddings fills up quick and is difficult to manage without an established scheduling system. Liz's team is incredibly self sufficient and requires very little prep with the bride and groom, which was a relief after all the other coordination. They provide a shopping list in advance, although our guests didn't end up drinking nearly as much as the estimated amounts. Joel and Oscar worked our wedding and had drinks at the ready, even though we had last minute requests of them like uncorking bottles on the dinner tables and filling the water glasses. Thank you MIA Bartending, we will be recommending you to everyone. read more

I hosted a grad party yesterday and Liz and her team were absolutely awesome to work with. As a wedding and events planner, I'm pretty picky when it comes with choosing vendors (Especially bar!). Liz and her team did not disappoint at all!! From the fast response in emails, quality and care they give to clients, to their delicious cocktails... everything was perfect! I also loved how they set up a tasting so you can choose which type of cocktails you would like to have for your event. All our guests enjoyed the bar so much and it was a big hit! Not only their cocktails and service were awesome, but also the bartender we had (ALAN WE WANT YOU FOR ALL OUR EVENTS) was super fun and chill. I highly recommend Liz and her team for your events, small or big! You won't be disappointed!! read more

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Our planner connected us to MIA for our wedding and we could not have been happier. They made sure we had a tasting, made clear what they needed from us, and made sure we were happy. Day of, Lizette was our bartender. She was a hit. Everyone loved her and the delicious drinks (alcoholic and non alcoholic) she made. read more

very professional, great people to work with. Your event will be very classy and people will be talking about Mixing in Action. I have been to a lot of events over the years and there is a huge range of what to expect, working with them was very easy and all my guests loved the drinks. Keep up the great work. read more

I used this wonderful team for my wedding and I could not have been happier. They literally brought my wedding to live and all the guests commented to me about how kind and efficient they were. They were by far the cheapest option for us, but never once did I feel like they were skimping on service. Several times when I called them prior to the event with questions, they answered very quickly and spent as much time with me as I needed. No questions was stupid! I loved getting to talk to some of the wait staff after the wedding too. They were all super easy going! I will definitely be using this team again for future events that we may have and I have already recommended them to several co workers that are getting married. P.S. shout out to the female bartender that did the whole wedding on crutches. You are a bad **s superwoman and you deserve all the praise in the world! read more

The team at MIA is the best of the best, bar none! As a wedding planner, it's easy to tell which vendors are true professionals that are great to work with and help make the event a total success for the clients and everyone involved. Liz was super easy to communicate with for all things leading up to the wedding day, and both Andrew and Stephanie were so on top of it on the day of--keeping the drinks flowing, and the couple and their guests all happy! The synergy of this team is obvious, and it was my pleasure to take part in it for the day! 10/10 highly recommend for your next big event! :) read more

Customized Drinks and Custom Drink names - couldn't have asked for a better bar! The drinks were tasty and everyone kept coming back for more. Thank you! read more

we came across Mixing In Action at an open house our venue was throwing where you could meet their vendors. there were two bartending businesses in attendance and the first one we tried wasn't so great. drinks were weak and the staff was unwelcoming. it bummed us out because on paper this business sounded great (we had did some research before) but low and behold stashed away in a quiet corner of the venue was MIA. we walked over and tried some samples and my god were they delicious. not to mention the bartenders were kind and knowledgeable. we thought they'd definitely be out of our price range but we were so wrong (thankfully). that day we went home and immediately reached out to them to lock em in. from start to finish they were amazing and so communicative. we hired MIA for our november 2024 wedding and they made everything incredibly easy. Liz was awesome to work with and their service was A+. their bartenders are friendly and fast and their drinks are top notch. no gross store mixers with these guys, they make it from scratch! all our guests loved the cocktails and the sweet bartenders. also a big plus, i was able to hire bussers through MIA as well which was such a blessing. my husband and i really can't recommend them enough! thank you MIA for being part of our special day :) read more

Best bar service in So Cal. Drinks were super good and made very quickly. Everybody had a fantastic time and couldn't stop raving how well the drinks were made. Highly recommend! read more

We hired MIA for our wedding this weekend and they absolutely killed it! The stuff was super great to work with and the drinks were amazing! You won't be disappointed! Thank you guys! read more

Had a great experience with them for a grad party we had to celebrate! Great execution and nice service. Would recommend!

I can't say enough about mixing in action. I've been lucky enough to travel extensively domestically, and as a bonafide LA native chef I can honestly say Joel makes one of the best old fashions I've ever had... and they're my jam so I've had about 7 million probably . My wife's "hers" drink was the sunflower drink and it was the wedding drink favorite, rightfully so because it was incredible!!! Their presence, demeanor, professionalism, and attention to detail is truly top notch. My wife, our friends and family have all said "let's hire them next time we have a party or bbq!".... Simply put this was the best bartending service I've ever experienced at a wedding or any event for that matter, without question. Thank you so much for everything MIA y'all stole the show!!! read more

Liz and her crew were so great! The signature cocktails they had were all amazing, but the jalapeno mango margarita was my absolute favorite, the tajin rim was *chef's kiss*. All communication with Liz and her team was very easy and professional, and the cocktail sampling before the event was a breeze. Day of the wedding they were on time and absolutely killed it serving drinks. I heard from several guests that they barely had to wait for a drink because they were getting served so quickly. We opted to purchase the alcohol ourselves, which ended up with us having WAY more leftover than expected. But better to have too much than not enough for the guests! Thank you Liz and crew! read more

My husband and I decided to hire a bartending service for our wedding WAYY last minute, and we're so thankful that MIA Bartending was able to accommodate us. They honestly saved us with so many little details that were stressing us out, like tableside champagne service, ice, cups and non-alcoholic beverages as well. Their prices are super reasonable and our bartenders were so kind. Most importantly though THE DRINKS WERE BOMB and our guests were raving about them. I hope Liz and Joel are in business for a long time because I want MIA there for every occasion, big or small LOL read more

Joel and Liz with Mixing in Action were superb! I would highly recommend them for bartending services! We had to postpone our wedding multiple times and they were always so gracious, kind, and flexible with us! We did a tasting in their home which was very fun and awesome to taste different cocktails for our signature drinks at our wedding! The entire experience and process with them was easy, fun, and enjoyable! At the actual wedding, they were on time, ready, prepared, and awesome! The team did such a great job and there was never a long wait to get a drink! If you are looking for bartenders, definitely hire Mixing in Action! read more

Liz and Joel are excellent and professional. I definitely recommend their services. You will not regret it.

Mixing in Action bartended at our recent micro-wedding and I truly cannot rave enough about them! From our personalized signature cocktail tasting before the wedding, to the amazing, handcrafted coktails at our wedding, to the staff's fun and friendly attitudes, this was above and beyond a fantastic experience and far better, more personalized bartending service than I expected to receive at a wedding. MIA provided all the mixers and equipment that we needed for our bar, and all we had to provide was the booze! It was worry-free, fun, and delicious! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, MIA! read more
