I've seen Patrick's work online for years and had not been able to work with him because of the pandemic. Well, last week we hired him for the Gutierrez Law Firm's Grand Opening and he was the highlight of the night! He takes great pride, care and love in his bartending services. We appreciated the planning process, attention to detail and his passion. He also speaks Spanish, which was helpful to our guests. All the drinks he made were 10 out of 10! -Gracias, Patrick You are simply the best. read more

These guys aren't your boring, well drink, red-bull and vodka sort of crew. We partnered with Patrick and his team awhile back because we were looking for someone who could pull off a more elevated experience. I work for Ezekiel Clothing and was tasked with putting together the after-party for a collaboration we were doing with WAX Magazine and the LA Art Book Fair. In our first chat I told Patrick what we were going for. In an ideal world our event would have: craft cocktails served to 200-300 people, no lines, and a small bar set-up. Sort of an impossible proposition, but the solution Patrick helped us come up with worked great! They put together two awesome premium cocktails made in a two big batches. It ended up being less than what we'd have paid for your typical wedding-esque set-up and people loved it (everything was drained, except a few bottles of red wine). For the curious here's what they came up with and I'd highly recommend copying our set-up: Jeffery Morganthaler's Bourbon Renewal: Bourbon Lemon Juice Creme de Cassis Simple Syrup Rosemary Vodka, Pineapple Juice, Fresh Lime Juice with Angobitters Bitters I've attached a few photos of the event so check them out. read more

Stir It Up recently provided the bartending services for an on-campus concert at Occidental College, and we couldn't have been happier with Patrick + Josh! Punctual, professional, knowledgable, friendly; more than we could have asked for. Patrick arrived early to set up an LED Light Bar, which added a tremendeous amount of ambience to our event, as well as a jockey box/co2 tank for serving our keg. He was happy to address any questions of ours, and thoroughly explained how everything worked. Patrick took care of everything as the rest of our team was running around getting ready for our concert. Then Josh, the bartender, arrived, on time and ready to work as well. He was charming, accomodating, and had the knowledge/skills to make the most of our beer keg. Josh ran the beer garden so well that it was never something to think twice about while we were busy running the rest of the concert; Josh had our full trust, and deserved it. KOXY, Occidental College's radio station, couldn't recommend Stir It Up highly enough! Thanks Patrick + Josh! read more

I've used Stir It Up for several of my parties.....there's no one better! They make amazing specialty cocktails---all my guests love their bartenders, very friendly and professional. read more

Stir It Up recently provided services for a wedding that I was coordinating. I really enjoyed working with Patrick- he was personable, friendly, prompt, and knowledgeable. He did an excellent job keeping the line moving and kept his work space tidy.The client originally ordered a simple portable bar, but Patrick gave them a free upgrade to the LED bar for no add'l charge! Patrick also handles the crowd well... when they got too wild at the end of the night, he approached me to ask if we can shut down the bar because he was concerned about people drinking and driving. He also personally delivered all the left over alcohol to the couple's house so that no one would continue drinking at the venue. I look forward to working with Patrick again, and would definitely recommend him to anyone who's looking for a bartender. read more

Hired this service for a business event my company was hosting. Not only did he provide the bartending service he also provide the thong he calls "The program" which is basically your one-stop-shop. Food, bartenders, set up, bar, coolers and linens. I didn't even have to call anyome else to hire to work. He had everything even these cool LED bars. Event went smoothly I wouldn't change a thing. Definitely would hire this company again for future events. They set up and cleaned up like they were never there, which made it easier on me. read more

I've hired Stir It Up twice in the past few months for corporate events and couldn't be happier with Patrick's professionalism, willingness to go above and beyond, friendliness and punctuality! This is a safe bet! read more

I had Patrick and his team at Stir It Up serve drinks at my work's big food and drink event, OC Weekly's Decadence 2015 at Hotel Irvine. They were able to make unique drink offerings using a variety of different liquors from our sponsors and maintained a fast pace to keep the long lines moving and the attendees happy. I would recommend them to anyone for bar service needs...they are able to customize a package depending on what you need. read more

My company needed a bartending service for an event, I gave stir it up bartending a try. It started off with the phone call, comfortable and easy. Dealt with a man by the name of Patrick, good prices. He had everything I needed plus more, some other services didn't have. I actually got the pleasure of meeting Patrick and his co-worker Kristina. Both punctual, knowledgeable of recipes and liquor, and the set up was displayed beautifully. The event went smoothly. They cleaned, and packed up like they were never there, which made it an easy clean up for me. I'd use this service again. Thank you E.Garcia read more

I went with Stir It Up to bar tend my wedding and I was extremely satisfied. Patrick came recommended by my food caterer and now I can see why. Patrick had great customer service and was always available to help me with any questions I had leading up to the event. Kelly did the actual bar tending at my wedding reception and he did an excellent job. All of my guests told me that they really liked his personality. In hindsight I would have hired one more worker to relieve Kelly's workload, but he worked really hard to attend to everyone all night, which is why I would recommend Stir It Up in the future. read more

Top notch service! Patrick and his team (we worked with him and Roy) were amazing. They had a great bar set-up and served this awesome Tequila punch! They also served some great Champagne cocktails - the champagne they used was not the cheap kind either but ONEHOPE Sparkling that gives back to charity; so it was great to have the charity tie-in at the event! Highly recommend them to do your next event! Thanks Patrick and team! read more

100% recommended. Stir It Up recently served at our wedding reception and we were super happy with Patrick. He's down to earth, on time, personable, and his pricing is very fair. We supplied the beer and wine (& coffee/tea) and he also surprised us by sharing a special (and delicious) cocktail he had made for an event the night before, which was super yummy and popular with our guests. I also want to note that we were married at a county-owned venue in OC which requires all vendors to supply insurance and jump through a lot of hoops to get a special event permit. A week before the wedding, Patrick stepped in when he realized the county had made an error in their requirements for his services which ultimately saved us almost $100. Very grateful that he cared enough to do that for us. read more

Patrick and his team are friendly bartenders that has serviced at least three of my events for an affordable price! The Office of Student Life at Occidental College has hired Stir It Up for three of its pub nights and have exceeded expectations every time. The best part about Stir It Up is their incredible customer service. They clearly communicated with us (the event planners) and were friendly and helpful to students. Highly recommend this company for any events needing bar services! read more

Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! Simply put. .. I can not say enough! Patrick was great! We could not have pulled off our event without his experience and expertise. He came through in so many ways. It was just unbelievable. Everything from helping us plan, budget, set, serve... Thank you Patrick. Indyoh Lounge read more

Stir It Up has serviced a number of our events at Occidental College. Patrick was professional and friendly, and at our last event he even brought his own draft setup and bar. He was able to service around 150 people without a problem, was punctual, and was easy to communicate with via email and phone. His pricing also beat that of the bartending company we used to use, and his services were equal if not better than our previous company. read more

I hired stir it up for our backyard wedding party. Although the bar came in late, Patrick was nice enough to make things right. And the party was still fun. Its more of I wish we hired a better wedding coordinator so things would've gone more smoothly with all my vendors. Patrick was outgoing and talked well with the guests. And gave us extra water and a good bottle of whiskey for free. Plus gave us a discount. I felt his sincerity in apologizing for coming late so i think he did well in that area and is professional about his business. read more

We recently had a client happy hour in appreciation of working together. When we hired Patrick, we were expecting a guy with a couple drink options and a cooler. That isn't even close to what we got. Patrick showed up with a full bar ready to make any kind of drink our guests could imagine. He had great recommendations and his professionalism was top notch. We plan on using Patrick for future Yahoo! events. read more

We got Patrick for a Wine and Cheese night at our college and Patrick and his bartenders are so easy to work with. The prices were amazing, especially if you have budgetary constraints. The insurance paperwork went through very easily with our school. Josh, our bartender, showed up on time, with proper uniform and was very helpful. He was very sociable and easy to approach. This is the third event we've done at our college with Patrick and there has not been a single conflict. I would definitely, without hesitation recommend his services. read more

We recently attended a party and had Stir It Up Bartending there - I had no idea that Patrick wasn't already a friend of the host because he integrated so well with all of the guests. Definitely heavy pours, had a wide variety of drinks (Sprite Zero!) and was very personable. The bar looked professional with the lights, and everything went very smoothly! Highly recommend! read more

The light-up bar added a cool look to our party. Patrick was helpful and social. As a person who interacts with everyone at your party, it's important to have a bartender who can hold a conversation. Cheers mate! read more

My company hosted an event for our VIP clients and we referred to Patrick at Stir It Up Bartending to provide bartending services for the evening. From the time of the initial contact through the event I found Patrick to be very pleasant and easy to work with. Patrick arrived to our event early and even brought his own portable bar. Once shown the space, Patrick setup everything himself and did not require an assistance from myself or my staff. I appreciated that he was self reliant and did not take my time or attention from other areas. On top of the portable bar that Patrick brought he also brought several extras. One hit among the guests was Rosemary Infused Vodka that he mixed with pineapple juice. He also suggested a flavored water that he brought a nice container for. The guests at my party found Patrick to be entertaining, welcoming and friendly. I love working with vendors that are reliable and show up on time. I will be using Patrick again for all of our future entertaining events. read more

Our party couldn't have been as great with out the drinks. Patrick made his own sweet and sour mix and each drink had a great presentation. He helped with what we should serve and how much of everything to buy. Good times! read more

Hired stir it up for my wife's 40th and couldn't be more pleased with the results! Patrick was very easy to deal with, ironing out all the details for us prior to the party. We decided to go with a cash bar because of the large amount of the quests we had in attendance and worked out great. Drinks were very reasonably priced including a great selection. We were especially impressed with our main bartender Brant who concocted some amazing handcrafted cocktails. Staff was very friendly, good looking and extremely helpful. I will be referring Stir It Up to all my friends and colleagues as well as using them in the future for any bar service needs I may have! Truly made my party a huge success! Highly recommended! read more
