I seriously cannot wait to have them back at my next party.

If you're reading this review, yes the 5stars is accurate. Tony is amazing! Book now and you will…read morenot regret it. I booked Tony for my wedding and everyone loved his drinks. He truly has bartending experience/skills and his drinks speak for it. He doesn't just pour and mix, but actually shakes all his drinks. Tony has an awesome menu to choose from and makes any drink taste amazing. His custom mixers were delicious. Barbacoa(pineapple &Serrano infused tequila) was our favorite drink. Communication with Tony was great, he was very responsive and quickly answered all our questions. He provided a thorough shopping list which made it very easy. I will definitely, 100%, recommend Tony for your next party. I can't wait to hire him again and enjoy his drinks. Thank you Tony!

Attended the Sip & Paint hosted by Kandycocktail events in the Life Arts building on the second…read morefloor. I was expecting an experience similar to the Purple Easel in Ontario where you an have instructor guide you on how to paint a disco ball and cocktails are provided. I left with what Cher from the film Clueless would describe as a "Monet" of a painting and feeling disappointed and scammed out of $50. DISCLAIMER: If you are not able bodied or if you have leg issues, back issues or buttocks issues, this event is not for you. This building is old and I didn't see an elevator. Also, you are sitting on the floor on a cheap throw pillow. I've seen cute charcuterie events at the beach and they provide better seats than this. The flyer does not mention any of these things. For the painting , we basically self taught ourselves how to paint these disco balls. I referred to the You Tube video provided by Art with Mrs. Hibbs called, "Learn how to paint a beautiful and sparkling disco ball." HOW I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE EVENT: I do not follow their social media, just went in blind because my sister and her friends were going and thought this would be a cute event on a Saturday afternoon. I did checkout their social media page after I attended and saw this is the setup for all the events, criss-cross apple sauce on the ground. THE EXPERIENCE: I climbed 2 flights of stairs and arrived to like a studio apartment from the 1920's and in my mind said, "OH HELL NO..." when I saw we were sitting on the ground for this. When I arrived there were thin wooden circles on the table and I asked how to do this and my sister started showing me kind of how to trace the lines on the wood. I asked her where the teacher was and she said she's making the drinks. Turns out everyone else was clueless as well because the party to the right of me were all questioning each other and looking around too. I found out later, that in the first 15 minutes I wasn't there, the girl put minimal effort into explaining how to paint and offered to air drop or text instructions to my sister and she just text her a photo of the finished product, not how to trace the lines or paint it. Thus, I looked up how to do this on YouTube , but then my phone died 15 minutes later. So we're all winging it and drawing lines every which way and all the while the two female hosts are making cocktails and chatting it up with each other like they're in the back of house at a busy restaurant, but they were literally feet away from us in a makeshift kitchen in a tiny studio apartment so we could hear them talking about nothing. Also, there were about 12 of us total and they prepped no drinks ahead of time and spent most of the time just making a batch of craft cocktails and not really mingling with the guests or guiding us on how to paint this disco ball. At some point they brought out popcorn as the appetizer? I mean, $50 and you're going to serve popcorn on a plate and that's the light snack? GIRL BYE! I could've just done this in my garage with sushi from Sam's Club, or charcuterie from Aldi and cool snacks from Trader Joe's. I don't even think they microwaved the popcorn on site?! What I learned from this experience is that this was about the sip and not the paint. I'm all about supporting small businesses and exploring different communities but this event lacked intention and thought and the vibe fell flat. It wasn't giving and also the hosts were too busy making cocktails, passing them out then sitting behind the makeshift counter and either talking to each other or being on their phones. One of the girls came out towards the end and asked how we were doing then proceeded to lie to us and say our paintings were beautiful. The interaction felt forced and insincere. I only liked one of the cocktails and I couldn't even tell you the name of it. It was the one without the pineapple foam. You're better off meeting your friends and new people at a bar in downtown. If you've been to any of the SlowJamz Vinyl & VIno events in downtown L.A., then you know what it's like to go somewhere and meet new people easily and vibe and a major part of that is having great hosts that encourage mingling and get the conversation going. No amount of alcohol, drugs or trendy decor can replace that.

She was helpful in every aspect of planning, she even has an option you can upgrade and have her do the shopping if you like. She was very accommodating with all my requests. She even offered to dress up for the event which I found so thoughtful! She was readily available via yelp, email and phone. She was fast, and kept the line moving so no one was waiting long for their cocktails! Even when tasked with pouring 20 shots at a time, she knocked them out! Cocktails were delicious! She has an extensive craft cocktail selection-it made it difficult to choose from since they all sound amazing! She allows you to provide as much alcohol as you like so guests were not limited to the just the signature cocktails. She provides all the garnishes-some were fresh, I was so impressed that she even provided fresh watermelon for one of the cocktails instead of using a store bought mixture. Clean up was fast and smooth. She provided everything she needed, bar-which she graciously allowed me to decorate, cooler and table as well as cups, napkins and straws. Everyone at the party loved her and I will definitely utilize her for any future bartending needs!

Weeks before the…read morewedding, my husband (fiancé at the time) went shopping for all the ingredients and Efrain was very responsive with all the questions I had. I sent him so many pictures of different alcohols and ingredients, just to make sure it was what we needed and he always responded within a few minutes, which I REALLY appreciated since I was already at the store. For the cocktails, Efrain sent me a list to choose from but I was also able to add a drink that wasn't on the list. We also changed some of the cocktails we originally chose and he was happy to adjust. All of the drinks were really good!!! And everyone at the wedding LOVED Scooby Snack so I definitely recommend that one! During the wedding, a few of the groomsmen also requested different drinks that wasn't on the list we had but Efrain was happy to make it for them. My husband and I were so busy the entire time of the wedding so we didn't get to talk to him and his team but all my guests said they were wonderful. They were extremely professional and kind and their customer service is 100%. I definitely recommend hiring them for all of your events and I will definitely hire them again for future events.

When the bride did not accept, and we asked Efrain to honor his words and agreement, he simply said "no im sorry...". I have a feeling he wanted to get out of this commitment by forcing an UNREASONABLE option LAST MINUTE and now I am stuck finding a bartender with only a 3 day notice. Seriously, I've worked with so many vendors and NEVER have dealt with someone like this. I have screenshots of this terrible service, but I would rather not go there publicly. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere! Edit: Original guest count 100, new was down to 75-85. We did the same EXACT wedding last year for the sister with ONE bartender.

We used Mint Bartending for our wedding in May and chose their Premium Bar Package. This package…read morewas advertised as including everything needed for the bar except for the alcohol, which we were responsible for purchasing separately. We were told they would provide all mixers, juices, garnishes, cups, ice, and anything else necessary to serve the drinks. At first, we were very excited to work with Mint Bartending because they seemed professional and offered what sounded like an stress-free service. Unfortunately, about a week before our wedding, the owner, Amit, sent over a cocktail menu he had selected that did not reflect the drinks we wanted to serve. I responded with a few signature cocktails we preferred, assuming this would be a simple change. We had previously been told that the menu was mostly for display purposes and that the bartenders would be able to make any drinks as long as we supplied the alcohol--which we did. To my surprise, Amit informed us that changing the drink menu would cost an additional $125. His explanation was that they would need to purchase extra ingredients for those cocktails. This was frustrating because our contract stated that the Premium Package included all non-alcoholic ingredients and bar supplies. Considering we were already paying $1,800 for the bartending service, in addition to spending roughly $1,000 on alcohol, the added fee felt unreasonable and inconsistent with what had originally been promised. That being said, the bartenders who worked our wedding were absolutely fantastic. They were friendly, professional, and incredibly attentive throughout the evening. Our guests loved them, and they helped make the bar experience a highlight of the night. Overall, while the bartending staff were excellent, my experience with the owner was disappointing. The last-minute attempt to charge extra for our preferred signature cocktails added unnecessary stress during the week of our wedding. If you choose to work with Mint Bartending, I would strongly recommend getting detailed written clarification on what is included in your package and confirming any cocktail customizations well in advance. Or just choose another company.
