Context: Our event had primarily Korean/Japanese/Chinese guests and I spent an hour or two of my…read morewedding evening crying due to Bewitched's unprofessionalism. During our consultation, Jordana spoke rudely and unprofessionally about one of our other vendors, which I know at least one other couple experienced. They had the foresight to go with another bartender. She was stubborn and passive-aggressive at times during our consultations and was upset about having to compromise with our caterer for space at our venue after we had some changes in plans. She also tracked every minute she spent on our project to charge us for at the end, which made me uncomfortable asking her to make adjustments as needed. Jordana confronted my sister at our events - once for not reusing her recyclable cup and again for complaining about her to the owners of the venue, and several of our guests complained to me after our welcome party that Jordana had been over-friendly and flirty with them. I know that bartenders put their licenses on the line if they over-serve, so to me it seemed it was a lack of experience and skill that led to the Bewitched team serving our white guests until they were drunk and some Asian guests were cut off while they were still completely sober. The team also did not know how to read the room as they were out on the dance floor and singing karaoke despite tension with me and some of our guests. I'll note that the drinks they made for us were superb, but were batched by Island Elixirs who they contract, not by Bewitched. I also found it extremely off-putting that I paid a 20% gratuity in advance and they still put out a tip jar. Overall I would not recommend Bewitched to anyone I know. I know few services will ever be completely perfect, but there was just too much to overlook. Two stars because they treated some of our guests well.

Jordana and her team at Bewitched Bar and Events are THE BEST. Here are some ways they went above…read moreand beyond for us: 1) they created a full shopping list for it, and even rushed to create it early when we had timelines change. 2) they created an espresso martini for us that our guests could have on the dance floor, and let us sample it the night before 3) they befriended all of our guests - everyone was raving about them 4) while my partner and I were eating dinner, we didn't need to stand up to grab a drink once - they were there to offer us a cocktail or a glass of wine right away 5) they greeted us right after photos with one of each of our signature cocktails. This is not even a comprehensive list -- they just kept doing absolutely amazing and special things for us, without us asking for any of it. If you're getting married in the San Juans, book this team without hesitating.

Wanna bring the cool factor to your next party, wedding or event?…read moreI highly recommend VIP Bartending if you want to bring things to the next level. Awesome bartending skills.....you want a speciality drink created you got it! Serving staff that aim to please no matter what the request is or how large your numbers are and all professionally done. Theme parties or just an air of class...the sky is the limit. Dave is the man who can make dreams come true. He did a wedding with over 400 guests that I attended which was through the roof; people were blown away! Dave has a knack for taking the stress out of the event and making it the party of all parties. Through his magic he managed to pull off something that most people will never relive again outside of a wedding. From what I seen that night, VIP is a must for your next event big or small.

When I was planning my wedding, I realized that in order to run a successful bar, we needed a…read morebartender. Instead of forcing one of our friends to get a serving it right certificate and spend the night slinging drinks, I did some google searching and discovered VIP Bartending. I made a phone call and immediately got a hold of Dave, who is the owner of the company. Dave's mantra is making sure that your wedding bartending is as low stress as possible. He is a very busy man, but he always returns phone calls and emails without fail. He is fantastic at answering many different questions, and even looked over our liquor list to make sure we didn't buy too many spirits that would end up unopened at the end of the night. We got married in New Westminster, which has way more liquor license rules and fine print than any other city in the lower mainland. Dave not only answered our questions and clarified the rules, but returned many panicked phone calls. Some perks about his bartenders: they come with their own set of tools, and purchase all of the limes, lemons, and ice for the evening (which you pay for at the end of the night or a few days after the wedding). They can also provide a float for a cash bar. Our bartender was Chris, and he was super friendly, personable, and made delicious drinks. I'm sure he also enjoyed our chemistry theme with beaker mugs for drinking glasses and test tubes for shots. Now for the important part: price. The deposit required to book VIP Bartending is $50, which is payable however you like (cash, cheque, or credit card). For our wedding, we hired the bartender to work from 4 PM to 12 AM. Our bartender showed up at 3 PM to set up, and was finished after midnight. The final cost for his services was $209, or $22 an hour plus HST. If you decide to get VIP Bartending to buy the liquor license for you, the cost is $25 for the license and $75 for the service ($100 total). I will admit that the bartender was probably one of the least stressful aspects of our wedding, so Dave was definitely true to his word. If you need a bartender for an event, I highly, highly recommend VIP Bartending.

From the very first communication, Bryan was professional & responsive. He was very easy to work with and dare I say "fun"! Since my husband and I are tikiphiles; it was important to us to find a bartender who was already well-versed in tiki cocktails and someone who would be willing to not only wear a Hawaiian shirt, but a lei as well. Bryan was our guy! He even had a Hawaiian shirt already! We figured out what 5 cocktails we would serve and Bryan promptly sent us the list of ingredients. During the party, Bryan was fun to engage with and all of our 50+ guests raved about his delicious cocktails! His tiki drinks & energetic attitude were the hit of our party! Bryan was also very flexible and was even willing to stay an hour longer than our agreed upon time. I cannot sat enough good things about Bryan! We will definitely hire him again for our next tiki party! A big Mahalo to you, Bryan.

Prior to the event, he helped me come up with 3 signature cocktails that we would be serving and gave me his quantity estimates for every ingredient so my shopping was easy.
