Nannette…read morehelped me with the planning process and she was exceptionally organized, responsive, proactive, and detailed. Overall, Drink Slingers' operation felt very streamlined. On our wedding day, I didn't have many opportunities to interact with the bartenders (Jennifer and Austin) but they got rave reviews from our guests who said they were so nice and on top of everything. I did, however, drink their margaritas all night and they were delicious and refreshing for a hot summer wedding! The marg was my specialty drink of choice and my husband chose the Texas old fashioned which was also pretty solid. Our wedding was an informal garden party theme but despite being informal, we wanted to provide high-quality food and drink to our guests. Drink Slingers was an essential part of that and I don't think our wedding would have been as great without them!

Our wedding was one we'll never forget in the Hill Country on an October evening, filled with our…read morefamily and friends dancing the night away. Almost everything went right. As the groom, during cocktail hour, I noticed that the owners of our venue were serving the guests drinks, along with the boyfriend of the wedding planner. They were getting slammed by dozens of our guests wanting libations to get the party started. Our wedding planner informed me that our bartending vendors, Bar Divas of Austin, had yet to arrive, and that they informed her they would be on the way. They eventually showed up - almost five hours late! Thank God those people listed above went above and beyond to keep the boat afloat. With three or so hours of the night remaining, they continued to drop the figurative ball, from serving our guests hard liquor (we requested mixed drinks only), being rude to one of the bridesmaids who asked what she was getting served, and over pouring cocktails which led to us running out of tequila well before the night was through. This was one of the few vendors, based on the high reviews, that we thought was gonna be a no-brainer. It turned out to be the worst decision for us, but luckily the damage was mitigated. We strongly recommend you reconsider this vendor for your big day. As of today, a week from our wedding, they have yet to reach out to us to make it right.... (UPDATE: The venue owners had tried reaching out and stating our case as to why we should at least be refunded, but the owner refuses, saying he had to get "back-up emergency bartenders, costing him 4 times the amount." un. real. Especially considering they were both at least five hours late. Suffice to say, Bar Divas of Austin is officially blacklisted from the venue, and we will make it our mission on every review site to let couples know that if you choose this vendor, you're at a significant risk of being screwed over)

They monitored this person, got him to eat, and made sure he rehydrated before allowing him to drive home. She also had great hints on wine and beer value and what and how much liquor to buy.
