I can't say enough good things about Elise, Tyler and Honolulu Bartending Company!…read more We reached out somewhat last minute for an aperitivo at the luxury boutique I manage and Elise made the entire process so easy. Communication was seamless, booking and payment were simple and she was incredibly accommodating from the start. On the day of the event, Elise arrived early, handled the setup, brought all the necessary barware and ice and had Tyler there to assist with service. Our cocktails for the afternoon were Aperol Spritzes and Negronis and everything was handled beautifully. What really stood out was how proactive they were. In between serving cocktails, Elise and Tyler also helped prepare and serve sparkling and still water to our clients. This allowed our Client Advisors to stay engaged instead of stepping away to prepare beverages. That level of attention made the entire experience feel much more elevated and seamless for both our team and our clients. Elise was also genuinely kind and such a pleasure to work with. She even surprised us with an amazing warabi salad made by her husband (@scrape_da_bone). A few members of our team already knew of him and his food, which made the connection even more special. And the salad was delicious! We will 100% be using Honolulu Bartending Company again. Elise and Tyler went above and beyond and I couldn't recommend them more.

Pretty sure they were the first things we confirmed for the day, before anything else in our 3 year engagement! The drinks were TOP TIER. Our guests were blown away by the selection & the service provided; everyone felt like the super cool special guests at the party, not just the people whipping up the killer drinks. Felicia also helped guide my last two brain cells throughout the evening & we gained a life-long friend when it was all over. If you're going to book anything for your event, Spirits should be #1 on your list.

"Aloha sorry for the delayed response we with all of our events canceled due to covid we are trying our best to get refunds to our customers. Refunds are non-refundable but we are trying to give as many refunds as possible within 1yr from when they were received." First of all "refunds are non-refundable" makes no sense.

The cart is super cute, with a #dranks sign in the front and decorations. The drinks were fantastic and beautiful to boot. Sarah and Danny worked with us on crafting 4 custom drinks for the event. The drinks were each very creative and absolutely delicious. The garnishes are thoughtful and love that they purchase eco-friendly cups and napkins. They're also super friendly and made the event fun, interacting with the guests and staying in great communication with us all night long.

Hiring Black Book was one of the best decisions we made in planning our wedding. We hired them…read moreprimarily because our caterer did not offer service and at the time we were planning, self-serve buffets were not allowed because of COVID. By the time our wedding rolled around, COVID restrictions had lifted so we decided to have a self-serve buffet and have Black Book servers stock the buffet, clean up, serve water, etc. The servers truly went above and beyond and kept our event clean and the pupus, buffet, and desserts well-stocked. We also used Black Book's bartending service. The bartenders, like the servers, were efficient and good-natured. They also offered services that made our lives a lot easier such as bringing in the ice, water, and kegs and providing their beautiful Wailele bar that allowed our guests to serve their own draft beer. We worked with Keani throughout our planning process and she provided so much guidance which was a nice complement to the help we received from our coordinator. Keani is nice and fun, as well as creative, responsive, and easy-going. One of the things I appreciated most was that Keani was very reasonable and honest about the services we needed and that would be helpful to us. I have no doubt that she would be an amazing wedding planner despite having only hired Black Book for serving and bartending. On top of all that, Black Book's prices are fair. They went above and beyond and after our wedding my husband and I felt like we got more than what we had bargained for from Black Book. We cannot recommend them enough!

She was always readily available whenever I had questions and her feed back was extremely helpful which helped with the flow of events during the wedding. We also decided to book hula dancers through Keani and rented an arch to help hang our neon sign for the reception. On the day of the wedding Keani and Sky made sure to take care of everything behind the scenes to make sure I didn't get stressed out and took care of all the decorations for the ceremony and reception. The hula dancers helped elevate our wedding and they were the highlight of our night. It all came out better than I could have ever dreamt of. I highly recommend booking with them! They will make sure to take care of you. Hands down they made my wedding the best experience ever!

Not only did he bring his own bar, but he was able to set everything up and start making cocktails super quickly. His expertise in crafting cocktails was evident in our "His" and "Hers" drinks. Mine was a simple Paloma, while my wife's was a Lychee Martini. Both were some of the best I've had. He also made a delicious mocktail that was enjoyed by all. We're not only impressed that he was able to prepare all this on such a tight turnaround, but also thankful that he put so much thought and effort. Additionally, Johnny is great to chat with. His story of how he started Bar Up to Par is inspirational and reflects his passion for mixology. That is also evident if you ever ask him for any drink recommendations. He not only gave me a list of tasty tequilas he enjoys, but he was able to explain their qualities in a way that informs and intrigues you. I'm looking forward to trying some of them! All in all, if you're looking for someone who comes well prepared, a passionate expert/professional, and all around great bartender -- you don't have to look any further than Bar Up to Par. Thank you, Johnny!

The state of the art bar that Lift Your Spiritz provided was also an eye catcher. It lit up beautiful colors and was just magnificient during the reception. But before the big day, Ryan was great to work with. We first met Ryan in June of 2011 when we were in Oahu for a week to plan our wedding. He responded to our email quickly and was able to meet with us right away even if it was a last minute appointment. Throughout the year, prior to the wedding, we kept in touch and he was so helpful in the planning process with how much we had to buy to make sure we had enough drinks for the wedding. He even told us where to buy it and which stores had the best deals. We purchased the premium package and we we glad we choose that package because Lift Your Spiritz provided a lot of things and it made it very stress-free for us. Over all, I would give Lift Your Spiritz 5 out of 5 STARS! They were the best and if you are looking for great bartenders and unbelievable service, this is the company to go with.
