We hired Arnold for a 40th birthday celebration and couldn't have been happier with his service…read more From the start, he was incredibly responsive and patient, answering all of my questions (and there were plenty, since I'd never booked a bartender before). He was also very accommodating to our specific requests. On the day of the event, he arrived right on time and was fully set up before guests began to arrive, which made everything run smoothly. I'll admit, we had almost chosen someone else based on photos of his previous bar cart, so we were pleasantly surprised to see his updated setup--it looked much more polished and elevated, and fit our space perfectly. Most importantly, the drinks were fantastic--everyone loved them. I would absolutely recommend Arnold and wouldn't hesitate to hire him again.

We held a 3-day wedding soirée and Arnold was our bartender for our Friday Tea Ceremony. His…read morecommunication and transparency on pricing, skill set, setup, and logistics was fantastic. He went above and beyond developing a beautiful cocktail menu for our event. His cocktails were so good, we ended up hiring him to batch our wedding reception cocktails as well. He was great with our guests and the cocktails were delicious. We are so happy to have found him and hope to work with him for any future milestone celebrations.

Coming from the event planner side -- I give TBC two thumbs way, way up!! But this is also because…read morehow well they and their partner company Above All Catering work. I feel like TBC and AAC together is like a wine and cheese pairing. You need both to have a great time! I was introduced to The Bar Caterer when I went to Fete the Venue in Costa Mesa for the South Asian Bridal (SAB) Show in January this year. I was actually there for my DJ/Lighting job at 3D Sounds lol. I was on the hunt for a bar caterer. Low and behold I meet Carlos Valdez bartender. He is one of TBC's managers. We clicked right away and exchanged information. Next thing you know he emails me right away and connects me with AAC! Funny thing is I had two back-to-back March events and I ended up hiring this wonder catering duo TBC and AAC together for both of my corporate events! One was with Pacific Chorale on a beautiful (no rain) Sunday at the Lido Theater in Newport Beach and the other that following Tuesday in Irvine for a Chinese company called Headwin. [Bonus: The Vice Mayor of Irvine was at the Tuesday event and he was raving about the catering services] During the entire planning process Carlos was awesome! He was fast at getting back to my emails and texts. He had site visits to review logistics with me. His knowledge and experience was so top notch! He even did some personal phone calls to make sure everything was going well and if I needed anything to make this event a success. I can definitely tell that he, like myself, has worked all lines of the event service industry and I appreciate how much hard work he put into my two March events. On the day-of event for both events -- his team showed up on time, setup efficiently and safely. He was personally on-site to my Irvine corporate event. Even though he wasn't there at the Lido Theater event, his support staff were great to work with and had no issues in terms of what the client ordered. I felt like both events the guests enjoyed the experience! The only difference was my Irvine corporate event had a higher bar package, which was the Call Bar, that included the Signature Cocktail. They totally loved that personable element and we had to choose a red drink since their company color was red. We chose a Strawberry Mule and it was so good! Lots of guests liked the refreshing taste. The Lido Theater event had the Soft Bar, which only included wine, beer, and soft drinks, which was perfect for a Sunday afternoon event. The detail photos only came out for the Irvine event. I will definitely upload the Lido Theater event photos because that bar we used the theater's existing refreshment counter. It looked so classic! Now for future events -- I will hands down work with TBC again and look forward to working with Carlos more! I am so thankful of the SAB Show and the serendipitous moment that has connected me to TBC. Cheers!
