Jon has a very top-shelf, first-class operation, with Mobile Event Bars, which has significantly enhanced the Alexandria Aces' profile in our community. The outstanding craftsmanship of Jon's work with each of his bars shows that he really cares about making events stand out and shine, so-much-so that many of our fans have personally asked us for more information about Mobile Event Bars for their upcoming events, receptions and parties in and around Alexandria. Jon's attention-to-detail and personal interest in our goals of what we wanted to achieve for each of our events helped our ball club reach out to a wider fan base of our community, that, in turn, prospectively will bring more fans into our ball park next summer. The Alexandria Aces will continue to work with Jon and build a long-lasting partnership with him and Mobile Event Bars for many years to come. We sincerely endorse Mobile Event Bars and highly recommend Jon's business. He's top shelf! To aptly use a great baseball cliche, Jon is really 'hitting 'em out of the ball park', with Mobile Event Bars! Pat Malone Co-Founder Alexandria Aces Collegiate Baseball Club www.alexandriaaces.org

Avoid TL Bartending. One month before our wedding, they cancelled. While Tony was initially…read morefriendly and responsive, Larissa was curt and slow to communicate. They clearly don't work well together. Timeline of Issues: * June 2024: Tony provided a quote and contract for our wedding bar service (champagne, one beer, one specialty cocktail, and non-alcoholic beverages; we'd buy and deliver). Deposit sent. * January 2025: Email detailed drink selections and our plan to potentially rent glassware (as they only offered disposable). * March 2025: Communication turned cold. They claimed the original quote was only for champagne pouring and that our requests were outside the scope, despite months of clear communication. They insisted on a revised contract with an added fee, even though our needs hadn't significantly changed (we were even willing to forgo rented glassware). It seemed Larissa, who hadn't been involved initially, disagreed with Tony's pricing. * Late April 2025: We coordinated inventory drop-off with Tony (Chick-fil-A in Leesburg). When we inquired about a cocktail tasting, Larissa said we'd need to book a private event at a bar. We declined. * Hours Before Inventory Drop-off: We received a cancellation email and Venmo refund with a vague text citing "further consideration" and differing expectations. They didn't respond to our requests for clarification. Their unprofessionalism and last-minute cancellation caused significant stress. Do not hire TL Bartending.

I don't live in DC, so I haven't personally hired Cocktail Ovations, but I have been in DC twice in…read morethe last several months, and both times, my friend Ava B. threw house parties with the help of Changa O. I wish I could hire her to tend bar at my house parties in LA. She's awesome, and seems to make hosting an absolute breeze. Changa's rate is reasonable, and she shows up with a car full of bartending supplies, everything from mixers to folding table. Her basic package goes for $275 for three hours, and that includes an hour-long consultation, a signature cocktail, juices and sodas, cordials and liqueurs, homemade infusions and purées, garnishes, napkins, bar supplies, ice, coolers, etc. etc. She saves you a lot of headache and a long, involved shopping, and then makes your party run. She's skilled and professional. She makes a ginger margarita that is truly delicious. I was staying with Ava the night of that second party, so I was around for the wrap-up, and we ended up talking with Changa and another guest for a while at the end of the night. I know I'm Yelping her business, but it's worth noting that Changa herself is a very warm, thoughtful, intelligent person, someone you'd totally want at your party. If you're looking to hire a bartender in the DC area, call Cocktail Ovations immediately.

This year I didn't want to deal with running out of things, bringing ice, etc. I will say we had a BIT of a responsiveness issue in the beginning trying to engage with them, but once we got Mimi on the phone, she was just fantastic. I LOVED the staff that was sent to run our event. All three were fun, professional, hardworking and made some great drinks! We did run out of wine with about an hour left to the event (and we only had beer and wine and two signature cocktails) which was super disappointing, but we made the best of it. I would 100% hire them again, especially if we got the same bartenders and they brought extra wine! The signature cocktails and mocktails they put together were fantastic. Mimi won't let you down!

He has a very easy going yet professional attitude, and was going to come half an hour early to set up. He got a little lost so he showed up right when the party started, but good thing my guests are fashionable and late, lol. He immediately went into set up mode, and changed into costume that added to our themed party. He brought his own equipment and was very efficient in serving numerous guests concurrently. My guests loved interacting with him and it looked like he was having a good time as well. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better bartender, and I'm hoping that I can throw another event so I can hire him again!!

I'm not much of a chef and it's hard to cook and entertain, so I needed something new and fun - paella and empanadas! Ordered beef and chicken empanadas which were served before dinner with chips, salsa, guac, and queso. Great start- yum! My favorite were the chicken, but the beef were also tasty. Jesus set up on our deck to cook the paella. He came with everything needed (i.e. propane, burner, giant pan, table, etc) and got right to it. Watching him put everything together white we were enjoying empanadas and some wine was completely enjoyable. Not only was the experience fun to watch, but the paella was delicious! I think he had everything in there from seafood, chicken and sausage to veggies and of course rice. It was a great balance and I don't know what's in the broth, but it all came together beautifully. We all completely enjoyed the food and experience and what fun to have everything prepared right in front of us on our deck! Jesus cleaned everything up like he was never even there. If you want something a bit more unique that I can almost guarantee everyone will enjoy, give this a try. Oh, of course there was too much food so we have leftovers which re-heat perfectly! Highly recommend!
