They were professional in the setup and service throughout the night and had drinks flowing quickly for our guests. We purchased the alcohol ourselves for the event and Kevin did a great job in understanding our drink preferences and providing a shopping list for drinks, mixers, garnishes and ice for the event (we had 140+ people). The bartenders also were judicious about not opening bottles of alcohol throughout the night that were not needed, making returning unopened alcohol and wine the next day easy to save us money on our drink budget. We had an overall great experience with the bartenders and would recommend them for your next event.

We hired PR bartending at recommendation of our venue and reading positive reviews for a wedding in October of 2023. Interacted directly with Kevin in the wedding planning phase who was pleasant and helpful. Kevin allowed us to modify services offered, determine what would align with our projected budget, promptly provided us updated quotes, and provided a purchase order. Overall very easy to work with in planning phase. There was one small pre-wedding issue in which PR Bartending changed addresses and did not notify us, resulting in our final check payment to be delivered to the prior address. We only learned of the address change when Kevin reached out regarding the missing payment, but he did NOT charge us a late fee. On the day of the wedding, all bar related items were organized/set up as per our contract and discussions. During our cocktail hour our guests notified me that bartending was not serving draft beer. Our day of coordinator was not notified of this problem (as if standard for vendors). Our contract with PR bartending did specifically state that WE were responsible for ensuring the setup and proper function of the kegerator. I identified myself to Kevin and attempted to work to identify the problem. Kevin, seemingly frustrated did not provide a clear answer as to if the kegerator was working properly and what the specific problem was as to why beer was not being served. I assigned two individuals familiar with kegs/draft lines/carbonation systems to troubleshoot the issue, they were able to remedy the problem (CO2 regulator needed adjustment) but it took them considerable time as Kevin was reluctant to physically move and let the in the space near the kegerator. While this was during a busy point in cocktail hour and the space was small, clear communication and a degree of flexibility from PR Bartending would have allowed quicker resolution. Later on that evening approximately 1 hour prior to the pre-determined conclusion of bartending service I went up the bar to obtain a drink for myself and my bride. Kevin recognized me and before I could ask for a drink immediately stated "I'm x amount short" and asked how I was going to pay the remainder of the balance of the tip jar (as per contract). I left the bar area to find my checkbook to write the remaining balance but was intercepted by several guests. When I returned, 30 minutes later a family member informed me that he covered the remaining balance as a wedding gift as the bartending was asking for the bride or groom to rectify the balance on the tip jar. Other than the terse interactions, our guests reported good service and well-made drinks. I was pleased to hear that our guests had better interactions than we did however, I would expect more cordial interactions from a wedding vendor with the bride and/or groom.

She was super responsive and we had so much fun coming up with drinks with her. She even very kindly provided us with a shopping list which was super helpful.

I hired Mellissa to cater my wedding I would not recommend her services to anyone…read more From the beginning, communication was a major issue. Both my wedding coordinator and I reached out to her multiple times with important questions and updates, only to be met with silence. This lack of communication created unnecessary stress, especially as we approached the big day. In fact, just one week before the wedding, we still didn't have a finalized menu because Mellissa was so unresponsive. On the day of the wedding, things went from bad to worse. When Melissa arrived and was setting up for the wedding, my dad overheard her asking her staff who had catering experience. Are you kidding me?? She later admitted to bringing in entirely new staff who were clearly inexperienced, untrained and unprofessional. To make matters worse, they ran out of prepared food, and many of our guests were left waiting while additional food was made. Mellissa was also seen mixing up salad bowls with her bare hands making us question what other unsanitary things happened that day. The quality of the food that was served was very disappointing. The chicken entree we had loved during our tasting was completely different from what was served. It was incredibly bland and lacked the flavor we had expected. One of the salad bowls was served with no dressing and Mellissa responded very short and rude to one of our guests when they asked her for dressing. For dessert, we had ordered cupcakes and mini cheesecakes, but there were so few that many guests didn't even realize dessert was being served. To top it off, the cupcakes were cut in half and placed in plastic cups, giving the impression of a last-minute potluck rather than a professionally catered wedding. At the end of the night, Mellissa left all of our remaining alcohol, purchased by us, out for anyone to grab. This was a major liability and created significant stress for the venue owners, who were left scrambling to secure everything. It was incredibly irresponsible and showed a complete lack of professionalism and regard for the safety and legal concerns involved. After the event, I reached out to Mellissa to share my concerns and requested a partial refund. She initially agreed that a refund was fair, but has since completely stopped responding and has not followed through. Weddings are meant to be joyful and memorable, but Mellissa's lack of professionalism and poor service created unnecessary stress and frustration. I would strongly advise others to look elsewhere when planning such an important day.

A $1500/day minimum sales was required. Fair enough. As the event grew closer, we asked if Maeve's could provide breakfast foods for one day. She agreed and we were happy. The food and drinks were good and people were happy. No mention was made about an additional $1500 minimum for the food IN ADDITION to the $1500 minimum for the drinks. Day one sales were $290 - so I'd owe her $1210. Day two sales were over $1600 including breakfast foods and mocktails. She charged me double the $1500 minimum and today I've received an invoice for over $2700! It includes those added minimums PLUS meals tax for food that was never sold! #2. A family member hired Maeve's to cater their wedding. The crew showed up totally unprepared. "Maeve" had pulled the sweet little food trailer that had been promised, to another gig and sent her crew with a folding table, no shelter whatsoever, tiny electric convection oven, not nearly enough food, nothing to keep it warm - it was an October outdoor wedding! To add insult to injury, the extension cords they had were inadequate for the load and shorted out. Note: this was supposed to be a totally self-contained unit with its own power supply. She totally threw her crew under the bus - they were lovely and did their best. But finally the bride's father fired them, and a desperate call to Nick's Restaurant had hot, delicious food to the wedding in 45 minutes. Oh, and she condescendingly call me sweetheart and darling!
